This strange script under Sturmanskie logo says: "1MCHZ Im. Kirova" that means "1st Moscow Kirov's Watch Factory". This factory produced watches of the brands like Poljot, Pobeda, Moskva, Sputnik, Kirovskie, Rodina, Ocean, Seconda etc. It was really big factory indeed. Built from scratch for Soviet Union by Dueber-Hampden Co. in 1930. And about "real or not". The production of this watches ("Shturmanskie" maens "Navigator's") was ONLY for the air force. They did not go on open sale, the watches were issued to military pilots ONLY when they entered the regiment as part of uniform. It is logical that Gagarin was a pilot and received this watch along with everyone else. So, it is not any kind of "legend". Yuri Gagarin's watch, which he wore during the space flight, can be seen in the museum of the Cosmonaut Training Center near Moscow. Exactly the same. Shturmanskie. And the size is quite large for era, like all pilot's watches then. I think somewhere around 36 mm, don't know exact size.

I was also curious about his comment that questioned the type of watch he had while on the mission, did some research myself and found that there is no question about the type or model he wore. Interesting how he's trying to stir the pot and trying to undermine the beautiful story of the watch. I guess he wasnt too happy about you debunking his myth, no hearts for you. To be honest I don't expect anything more for an average anglo-pig peasant.

it says 1st moscow CHASOVNIK zavod. chasovnik means watch. why make stuff up to post if you dont know then look like a proper plum. i collect 1мчз watches from the basic prole models to the very best chronograph and alarm models. most of them can be easily serviced and calibrated to +- 5 seconds and many parts are interchangable.

The caseback has a certain Gagarin-trapped-in-carbonite look. I took my Maktime-era Shturmanskie panda chronograph to an ex-Soviet watchmaker in Tel Aviv to replace a smashed glass. He exclaimed over it, and ran to a friend's shop to get the right bombé glass. It clearly made his day. It's currently sitting in a watchmaker's shop in London waiting for a part. Great to see some Soviet quasi-historical pieces examined after years of KZread creators focusing on Chinese quasi-historical chronographs!

Almost all. Slava is also a great brand from the Second Moscow Watch Factory (the names, very creative 😅)

My wife’s mother was at medical school in Tchakalov when Gagarin was training as a pilot. He asked my mother-in-law for a dance, but she refused him. Her best friend really liked him and she eventually married him. The next time my mother-in-law saw him, it was on the telly being driven through Red Square! I said to my wife, what a big mistake her mum made!

This watch is supposedly the second one in space. The first one apparently belonged to the soviet aerospace engineer, Dr. Abraham Genim and was a Pobeda. He sent it up with the space dog Chernushka aka Blackie. He originally hoped that he would never see it again but both Blackie and the watch returned home safely and he got in trouble for his unauthorized stunt.

I hate to be a killjoy! A Pobeda 34-K was first watch in space, preceding Gagarin's flight by a month. The watch was attached to a dog called Chernushka [Blackie] who enjoyed the flight in Sputnik 9 on the 9 March 1961.

Thank you so, so much for covering the Sturmanski. The Soviet contribution to horology is an area of horologg that is not covered frequently enough. I would love to see you cover the Poljot 3133 chronograph if ever you have the opportunity. Signed, a big fan of this channel.

Manual wound simple Vostok movements are also usually quite easily regulated and surprisingly accurate, even the ancient ones :D I have a vintage 119 case amphibian that is the barrel-tonneau case shape but with 18mm lugs unlike the 22mm modern 090 one, and with a thickness of 10mm with the domed acrylic included. The beautiful deep sunburst green lacquer now has spider web cracks on it, and those cracks have a golden hue to them, it is like a golden lightning storm on a sunburst green sky, absolutely amazing. Gains around 10s/day which for a 50year old movement isn't bad i think. Had a service a couple years back, the guy told me it was the first time it has ever been serviced :D . The watch cost me around 70usd, the service cost me like under 30 with a new acrylic and postage included :D

also the russian beneath Sturmanskie is the abbreviation of "first mechanical watch factory named after Kirov", which was the original factory for sturmanskie, however the company went bankrupt and was bought by a company named Volmax. Volmax is known for using NH35s in these supposedly "russian" models. I highly encourage you to open the case back since the sturmanskie movement should have a beat rate of 18000, like almost all other russian movements.

Just ordered a Vostock two weeks ago, and I like the looks of this also, I may wait before purchasing as things are looking a little warm in Russia at the minute.

I was JUST on Meranom a few days ago looking at these watches, wondering if anyone's covered them before because I've never heard of them before on youtube, and here you come, reviewing it already! It's like you read my mind!

I decided to add the 33mm version of this watch to my collection. I'm very pleased with it. It wears larger than anticipated. It averages - 10s per day. I believe the characters above the pinion represent the 1st Moscow Watch Company.

Loved that NATO quip. Eerily timely. I do like the looks of this unit, but I'm allergic to mineral crystal.

Finally! My favourite watch! I got a beige dial version and I love it! Such a lovely "connector" for guys who love watches and space. I was too late to discover 33mm version but well... I still love 40mm version.

Great video! I love my Штурманские. It’s my everyday watch. I believe it to be from the 60’s or 70’s but I’m not positive. It has a black face in this style but with the addition of a seconds hand below the red star at the bottom and no hacking motion. Simple brass frame and it’s definitely the smaller model. The lume on the hands and numbers still work pretty well if you give them some time to charge. They hold light a lot longer than this one. It keeps time well, but gets about 5 minutes fast when it gets time to wind it. All in all, i love this watch.

I love this watch. So much history behind it. I have 2 Pobeda from the 50s and even with 33mm cases (exactly the same case of the original sturmanskie) they look gorgeous.

The Russian/Communist font on the Arabics is so good. It males me want to watch Firefox with Clint Eastwood again

It's more accurate than modern Seiko movements......😄😄😄 Like

Got news for you Jodi. First watches in space was Pobeda. In same year 61 but before Gagarin. Those watches was in space on the wrist of a dog called Schernushka. U can easily check it from the book "Animals in space" by Colin Burgess n Chris Dubbs. Pobeda watches made by brand and factory known today as Raketa which is 300 years old and still to this date produces russian manufactured watches.

Surprisingly beautiful watch! The numerals' font reminds me of my Art Deco Vario Empire.

I have a Sputnik. The subdial is a little satellite that rotates around in a circle.

Shturmanskie produces a very wide range of models: some have quartz movements, the Poljot 2609 you feature here, the Vostok 2416b without a date window (brilliant idea - no ghost position, of course!) - you can even get one with the NH36 for $350-$450 depending on the design. They have certainly emulated Seiko when it comes to value for money. I have a "Sputnik 1957" model with the 2609 movement. Loses 20 - 30 seconds a day depending on how long it's been out of the box, but it is great fun, having an "orbiting satellite " instead of a regular second hand (OK, the little Sputnik is stuck on a transparent disc!). Cost $250 at my usual shop here in Moscow. As you say, they make a nice counterpoint to Vostok, but I think their prices come with a bit of an "ouch " once you've bought an Amphibia or four... Thanks for the great review, Jody. Cheers 🍻!

nice review, thanks!

OMG OMG OMG! Jodi is reviewing my watch!

Your best video yet

I love this watch, I saw the version with the bracelet and I fell in love with it. But Jesus is overpriced. You can get the Bulova Lunar Pilot for that price. Trivia: The Gagarin watch was the first watch worn _by a man_ in space. But the first watch in the space was another little cute Russian, the beloved Poveda "wristwatch of the people". It's well documented now that a model Pobeda 34-K (AKA "Chernushka" or "Blackie") was attached to the leg of a dog they used in the Sputnik 9, one of the experimental flights preparing the things for a man. The watch it's like the Pobeda we all know, with the variation of printed numbers in the seconds subdial and a screw-down back with a rubber gasket to improve the dust protection. Not as the poor pioneer, Laika, Chernushka (Blackie) came back because this time it was part of the goals of the mission, and so did the little Pobeda 34-K. So, owners of a little Russian Pobeda, I'm sure there are few here, you have the very first watch in space!

Graduates of the prestigious Orenberg Flight School were presented with Pobeda (means victory) Sturmanskie watches when they joined the Soviet Air Force. Yuri Alexeevitch Gagarin was presented with his watch on graduation in 1957. He wore the watch when he became the USSR’s first cosmonaut in space 12 April 1961. Gagarin’s Rodina was sold at Sotheby’s New York, Space Exploration Auction (N06516) 1993, Lot 17, $25,875 - and was described as having been worn during the flight of Vostock 1. This seems to be the cause of the confusion. But, the letter of attribution (in Russian) - states; ‘Wrist watch “Rodina”, which was given to Yuri A. Gagarin as a gift from the Commander of the Airforces, Marshal Vershinin AFTER the glorious flight of spaceship Vostok -1 The Rodina, an automatic, was considered a better watch than the Sturmanskie. According to family members, Yuri Gagarin wore the watch most of the time, though not, obviously, into space. When he crashed his MiG Gagarin was probably wearing a Strela / Poljot military issue chronograph but that is speculation on my part based on Alexei Leonov - who was originally scheduled to test the MiG - can be seen wearing a Strela in photographs taken in the 1960s. The Strela, issued to top Soviet military, is a much better watch than the Rodina.

I have exactly the same but with Auto movement, and they are gorgeous! Plus for me as Russian origin that watches the gift from my mother and mean a lot to me. Unfortunately receiving them from Russia was a bit drama, as Russian post successfully lost the parcel and find it only 10 months later after countless complains. The parcel delivered by Australia Post was re-packed, and soaking wet, and it seems it was soaking for the whole 10 months as everything inside the parcel turned to the sticky goo including watch box, and watch strap. The watch themself survived though despite being only 30m water resistant. I still had to unscrew them and dry out, as they quickly started accumulating fog while being heated by my wrist, however after careful clean, and putting them on nato strap they are running fine. Not +4s/day as yours but alright. Speaking about if Gagarin was actually wore Shturmanskie or not, the chances are, because Gagarin was a pilot at first place, and Shturmanskie was specifically created for soviet military pilots, and was hugely popular among them despite being a bit pricey.

Excellent review! Would be interesting to see you review a Vostok 58 series dress (I suppose) watch sometime too, and as a previous commenter said, a Raketa. Both interesting takes on less tool-y watches!

Gagarin Heritage Automatic is my first wristwatch ever. I got it as a gift. The case back is gorgeous with Yuri's face on it.

Correction. The watch worn by Yuri Gagarin was one or the other: Sturmanskie Type I - 15 jewel, Pobeda movement , not waterproof, not shock proof, mushroom crown sword hands. hand wind. or Sturmanskie Type II - 17 jewel Sportivnie (41M or 43M ) movement, water proof, shock proof with incabloc, washer crown, lanzenform, scimitar hands, hand wind. todays Sturmanskie Gagarin likely is New Old Stock Poljot 2609, 17 jewel , mushroom crown. Last entity that made the movement was 1st Moscow Watch Factory 1MWF . It is unknown if Sturmanskie makes these movements themselves or not , or if Poljot exist in some form or another. Assume NOS.

Well we all seem to have an opinion what the first watch was :) I think it was the Strela. It would be the first watch worn in open space, outside a spaceship. The watch was branded as Poljot, Sekonda, or even simply Strela, and came in various designs and face colours. It is believed that Leonov wore a white faced Strela for his historic spacewalk. Issued in the 1950’s to Russian pilots, this became the watch issued to cosmonauts for 20 years, until it was retired in 1979. It is the Russian speedmaster!

2:46, not Podeba, it's Pobeda (Victory), just a minor correction.

I saw Yuri Gagarin in Manchester UK in July 1961. He travelled in an open topped car from the city centre to Manchester Airport. Unfortunately I don't recall which watch he was wearing.

About the first watch in space, I read there was a watch sent into space with one of the dogs they sent up prior to Yuri Gagarin, so Gagarin’s watch was the first watch in space worn by a human. About the watch you are presenting, i have a 3747477, it looks about the same as yours but the case is titanium, the crown isn’t shiny and the back isn’t shiny as well.

sh-tour-mun-skee-yeah! with accent on TOUR! :)

I have no idea what is in the case, it's supposed to be manual wind as the original was but I swear I can feel a rotor. A watch shouldn't run for 2 days on 10 winds but this one did... doesn't matter because REGARDLESS, I love the watch, it keeps good time and I always catch myself gawking at it.
