Strela Watches
The Strela, which means "Arrow" in Russian, is one
of the most coveted watches in the world of Russian horology.
Introduced in 1959, the 3017 Strela became a legend in Soviet space
history when worn on the wrist of Aleksei Leonov during the first walk in space in 1965.
The original Strela featured a chronograph with a 45 minute counter and
did not have a date function. Exclusively designed for the officers of
the Air Force, the early Strelas were not available to the public and
were constructed to strict military specifications. The 3017 movement
ceased production in the late 1970s and was replaced with the current
3133 model.
Today, Sturmanskie, which means "Navigator" and was the first watch in
space on the wrist of Yuri Gagarin, carries that tradition forward with
two 3133 chronograph commemorative editions of this famous watch.
These boast a 44 mm case size and, unlike the originals have an
exhibition caseback and decorated movement.
