Russian Watch of the Day showcases Russian watches that have caught our attention because of their style, value, function or uniqueness.
Based on the “Strela” line of watches first launched in 1959, Sturmanskie’s latest Strela collection recreates the classic and tailored pieces from the original line. Combining vintage-inspired styles with modern manufacturing and technology, Sturmanskie successfully delivers a collection of watches that will certainly appeal to collectors since the original Strela line were designed for the Russian Air Force and were not available commercially.
One such watch that combines classic chronograph designs with modern innovations in watch making is the Sturmanskie Strela 3133/1364649. The design and style of this watch is derived from the original 1950s collection, although this particular piece boasts a much bigger case. With a diameter of 45 mm and gold case accents, the Strela 3133/1364649 is certainly a watch that will draw attention to itself. Featuring a rose gold stainless steel case and rose gold markings and hands against a simple but sophisticated white dial covered in sapphire glass, this watch from Sturmanskie’s Strela collection is the perfect everyday watch. Since it comes with a rose gold case plated with black PVD, it can also be used as a dress watch.
The Strela 3133/1364649 uses the mechanical 3133 Poljot movement with 23 ruby jewels. It features an exhibition rose gold caseback and leather straps with white top-stitching. This classic chronograph from Sturmanskie comes with two sub-dials and a date calendar.
The Sturmanskie Strela 3133/1364649 retails for $1050 but some online sources like Russia2all offers this classic piece for $819.
