In the 50´ties till the 70´ties, Poljot produced the famous and popular "Schaltradchronographs" with the brands "Poljot", "Sekonda" and "Strela". These Chronographs used the complicated mechanic caliber 3017 which is similar to the Venus movements. Fortunately, Poljot reminds itself to his history and uses the elegant 50´ties Design for these new "Strela" watches.
These new watches are fitted with the well-known Poljot caliber 3133 ( with 21.600 half rotations/hour, shock protection, 48 hours power reserve ) , date between the position "4"-"5", screwed crystal back , mineral glas and an elegant stainless steel case. The black dial features a Tele-and Tachymeterscale, luminous hands and luminous indexes as well as the "Chronograph Class 1" signature. Poljot once differed between better watches for the Export-market and the watches for the sale within the Soviet Union. Nowadays there is no such difference, but Poljot reminds on this historical fact by using the "Class 1" designation for these new Strelas. Limited to 500 pieces ; including Poljot Box.
My favorites: these very elegant Strela watches 1250, 1251, 1252 and 1254 have the very nice 50´ies design and belong to the most interesting watches from Russia.
