STRELA CO42CYW "COSMOS" – A Classic with Character
Legendary 42 mm chronograph powered by the rare Poljot 3133 hand-wound movement – with blued screws!
STRELA chronographs have become iconic – not just among collectors. In the 1950s to 1970s, the original Strela with the 3017 column wheel movement made history as a trusted companion of Soviet cosmonauts.
Today, the modern STRELA CO42CYW "Cosmos" proudly continues that legacy. Inside ticks the renowned Poljot 3133 – a mechanical hand-wound calibre with 23 jewels, shock protection, 21,600 vibrations per hour, and a power reserve of approx. 48 hours – enhanced by elegant blued screws, usually reserved for higher-end watches.
