f... thats one cool looking watch, i bet it will look really nice on a dark brown leather
Thanks for the video!! Keep them coming please.

That is a stunning chronograph. Will add it to my to buy list
1:36 Strela means " Arrow " ... Poljot means " Flight " ... Strela watches had manual winding calibre 3017 based on Swiss calibre Venus 150 (Breitling)
Strela chronographs were issued to cosmonauts 1964 onwards... Poljot 3133 in the 1970s Salyut-6 and Salyut-7 space station era #MoonwatchUniverse
Voskhod 2 cosmonauts Leonov and Beyayev wore a white dial "Strela" caliber 3017... underneath their Berkut spacesuit.
Hint: also try to go for Russian text dial watches, " 19 Jewels " text was for export...
такие часы у единиц были в советское время не разу их в жизни не видел от деда остались "луч" и первые командирские модель 1965 года и то он их достал так как был полицейским в обычных магазинах их не продавали
Наверное милиционером, полиции не было в СССР, точнее была, но только на оккупированных территориях
Great watch!
Superb👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😊😊
That thing is beautiful😍😍😍
I bought my Seiko Pogue IN 1973 when they were not famous, unfortunately my home was broken into in 2001, and yes the watch was gone. Gave me 27 yrs of loyal service only took it off for a shower.R.I.P
That’s a shame… you could buy it used but they are expensive
I had virtually this exact watch as a schoolboy in the 70s. They were made by sekonda not sure what movement they used. As l recall they weren't expensive watches by any means, in fact quite cheap. The lume was terrible on mine.
Yes, I still have my Sekonda from the 70's. Had it serviced once and the man said it is based on a swiss watch, very very nice he said.
Im proud owner of 2 seiko prassages 🙌🏻
during my last Russia visit,

These were sold in the UK as Sekondas in the 1970s. I was bought one for passing my O levels. It was stolen in 1993.
i am sorry to hear that, do you remember the original price
Very nice watch. Just so you are aware the column wheel vs cam i just the engagement method. The important thing would be to have a vertical clutch instead of horizontal engagement. Having said this I have never seen a cam engaged vertical clutch but this watch's movement and the subsequent movement don't have one anyway.
Very nice!! What would happen if you press the lower button when the chronograph is running? Explosion?
Got white one too. Do you know why 3,6,9 minute mark is bigger than the rest on chroni dial? Cant find anywhere what practical reason it had
any good?
Which hodinkee talking watches episode was this featured?
is this being sold?
Whats with all seikos and the like taking big bumps on price ever since rolex did it? Pisses me off to see it together with rolex. Im not going to play their nasty little game. Think ill sit out for a while or concentrate on casio
Nasao sam ovde da pričaš o Streli. Malo pre sam ti postavio pitanje za Strelu hronograf 40mm ali sa Sigalovom mašinom. Valja li ta prica?
Prava strela je sa 3017 masinom.. znam da se danas nove prodaju sa 3133 a sa kineskim masinama nisam ni znao da se prave
I´m looking for a Poljot Strela 42mm (CO42CYB ). I read that Poljot isn´t exsisting anymore since 2011. Are the "new" Strelas "new" or are they just old ones which are sold as new because they are never used cuz they were laying in the warehouse? Do you know sth about that? Thank you :)
I got the following information from the 'Poljot' Wikipedia page:
The physical remnants of First Moscow Watch Factory were purchased by a group of former Poljot employees, forming the basis for a new company, Volmax. Volmax marketed watches under the Aviator, Buran and Sturmanskie brands using movements produced by another Russian firm, MakTime. MakTime, the company utilizing old Poljot equipment to manufacture mechanical movements, went bankrupt and Volmax, the successor company to First Moscow Watch Factory relocated to Switzerland. Present models from the Volmax company are Swiss-made, using design cues from vintage Russian models.
So, the the current Chronograph STRELA Poljot is made by Volmax. It looks exactly like the original one except for the following upgrades:
1. It has a sapphire glass;
2. It has a date indicator at 6 o'clock;
3. Water resistance is now 5ATM instead of 3ATM;
4. It uses the Poljot caliber 3133 with 23 jewels; and
5. The case is made of stainless steel rather than chrome plated brass.
It costs around US$700.00. The original ones, in good condition, can cost north of US$1,000.00.
Where can I get this particular model it is not available on amazon? thanks for your help!
You can only get it used. No longer made sadly :)
It is still being made, for anyone wondering, just search 'strela' on google
$$$???
Sadly, modern jewelers want you to buy disposable Asian crap instead of working on these marvels of time (no pun). I'd order many online spare parts for these beauties & have them ready for jewelers maintenance visits.
Whenever i think of the soviet space program i think of those dozens of people burned alive in that hydrazine fire. Also uri gagaren was not the first man into space, hes the one that got out alive...sad that we didnt work together on this
KGB Watch. Never for me! 😖
Looks like fake video
I don't know what to say! you look like expert
