Poljot GAGARIN 40 Years – Faithful Reproduction of the First Watch in Space

Limited NOS ( New Old Stock ) Edition  

The Gagarin Heritage is a faithful reproduction of the historic Sturmanskie watch worn by Yuri Gagarin on April 12, 1961 during the first manned space flight in history. This special edition was produced in 2001 (“40 Years Gagarin”) by the 1st Moscow Watch Factory and follows the original pilot’s watch design in every detail.

Historically authentic – true Sturmanskie heritage

This model is based on the watch Gagarin wore as a military pilot and later during his legendary Vostok 1 mission. The 2001 edition remains true to the proportions and design elements of the original timepiece.
