		Model: Russian Aviator "Ivan Kozedub" Year: 2003 Caliber: 2612 (A. Schild-based), alarm, 18 jewels, hand winding, two crowns for alarm and time Note: dedicated to Ivan Kozedub, Russian aviator dead in the 1991. Very massive and big (45 mm without crowns!), mineral crystal, water resistant 100M, two screwed crowns. The numbers (with Superluminova coating) are exceptionally luminous by night. Great finish, a very collectable item.
		Model: Okeah 3133 Chrono Year: 2004 Caliber: 3133 chrono (Valjoux-7734 based), hand-winding, 23 jewels, 30 minutes counter, date window Note: this one is a great and historical Poljot model. An Okeah was used by the cosmonaut Razhdestvensky during the heroic rescue of himself and fellow cosmonaut Zudov on the ill-fated Soyuz-23 mission. Originally it was destined to naval officers. Mineral glass, stainless steel case, screwed caseback, internal turnable bezel. New with box and documents.
		Model: Sturmanskie 3133 Chrono Year: 1992 Caliber: 3133 chrono (Valjoux-7734 based), hand-winding, 23 jewels, 30 minutes counter, date window Note: a classic model by Poljot. Diameter approx. 38 mm. On the dial there are the insignia of the Russian airforce. There is a second crown for the inner bezel. Nice '70s design, acrylic glass, stamped caseback. Very nice watch.
		Model: Aviator 3133 Chrono (type I) Year: 2002 Caliber: 3133 chrono (Valjoux-7734 based), hand-winding, 23 jewels, 30 minutes counter, date window Note: one of the most know Poljot models. Although strongly similar to the Fortis Pilot Chrono, it has an own personality (note the Cyrillic inscriptions). Very nice finish (matt case, mineral crystal, Superluminova-coated hands). Diameter 40 mm. Great pilot style :-)
		Model: Poljot/Strela column-wheel chronograph Year: years '60-'70s Caliber: 3017 chrono (Venus 178-based), hand-winding, 19 jewels, column-wheel mechanism, 45 minutes counter Note: this watch has a very fine column-wheel mechanism, it was also used in Soviet space missions till the late '70s. This is an export version. Very smooth buttons and high precision although the age. Luminous hands (still active). Diameter 37 mm, pressed caseback, acrylic glass. A great piece.
		Model: Buran 2614 Year: 2004 Caliber: 2614, hand-winding, 17 jewels, date window Note: Buran is the name of the Russian space-shuttle, and it's also the name of this watch. Design slightly inspired to Tutima/Hanhart watches. The bezel (with a red marker) can be rotated. Nice onion crown. Diameter 38 mm.
		Model: Poljot Alarm Year: years '70s Caliber: 2612 (A. Schild-based), alarm, 18 jewels, hand winding, two crowns for alarm and time Note: classic '70s-model, probably made for the export (note the English inscriptions). Totally serviced in the 2004, works as new :-) The "dot" on the caseback is the welding of the anvil pin of the alarm mechanism. Chrome-plated case, acrylic glass. Diameter 35 mm.
		Model: 1MWF "Pobeda" Year: years '50-60s Caliber: K-26, hand-winding, 15 jewels Note: Made when the Poljot factory was still called "1MWF" (Fisrt Moscow Watch Factory).

		Model: 1MWF "Sputnik" Year: 1957-58 Caliber: K-26, hand-winding, 15 jewels Note: very rare model, made to celebrate the first flight in the space with the "Sputnik" space module. The red dot on the seconds hand spins around the Earth printed on the dial (note the USSR marked in red). Note also the rockets as hour markers. Diameter 33 mm, acrylic glass. Definitely an historical piece. :-)
		Model: 1MWF "Rodina" Year: years '50-60s Caliber: 2415-A, automatic+hand winding, 22 jewels Note: automatic model, produced for short time. "Rodina" means "motherland".
