PILOT Aviation Watch 43 mm – Original Molnija 3602 Hand-Wound Movement – 18 Jewels
A classic pilot's watch with a genuine piece of Soviet watchmaking history inside – including two quality watch straps for only €249!
This exceptional PILOT aviation watch combines the timeless design of historic military and observation watches with a very special mechanical movement: the original Soviet-Russian Molnija calibre 3602 with 18 jewels.
While many modern pilot's watches simply reproduce the appearance of historic timepieces, this watch actually contains an original mechanical movement from Soviet production!
Classic Pilot's Watch Design
The black dial features large, light green minute numerals, the characteristic triangular marker at 12 o'clock and luminous hands – all inspired by the excellent legibility of traditional aviation instruments.
Particularly interesting is the unusual dial layout, featuring an inner hour circle and a small seconds subdial at 9 o'clock.
The brushed stainless steel case measures 43 mm in diameter. Its large, easy-to-grip crown makes winding the mechanical movement a pleasure.
The Heart of the Watch – Original Molnija 3602
The legendary Molnija 3602 is one of the best-known mechanical movements in Soviet watchmaking history.
Its technical origins can be traced back to the famous Swiss Cortebert calibre 616 from the 1930s. For many decades, Molnija movements were manufactured at the watch factory in Chelyabinsk, Russia, originally mainly for mechanical pocket watches.
This robust hand-wound movement features 18 jewels, operates at a traditional frequency of 18,000 vibrations per hour and offers a power reserve of approximately 40 hours.
One of the most attractive features is the exhibition case back, allowing you to admire the large, golden-coloured mechanical movement at work.
A genuine piece of watchmaking history – not a modern reproduction!
