STRELA SIGNAL Alarm 44mm Poljot 2612.1 with RIOS1931 strap

STRELA SIGNAL – Mechanical Alarm Wristwatch with Original Poljot Calibre 2612.1

A mechanical wristwatch that does more than just tell the time – it can actually wake you up!

The STRELA SIGNAL SIG44LAG-IPB is an exceptional mechanical wristwatch featuring a complication that has become remarkably rare today: a fully mechanical alarm.

While modern watches and smartphones rely on electronic sounds, the alarm of this Strela operates entirely through the fascinating interaction of mechanical components, gears, springs and a dedicated striking mechanism. No batteries, electronics or speakers are required.

At its heart beats the legendary Poljot calibre 2612.1, a hand-wound movement originating from original old stock of Moscow watch production. This remarkable calibre has been out of production for many years and has become increasingly difficult to find.

The STRELA SIGNAL is limited to just 150 pieces.

An Extraordinary Complication: The Mechanical Wrist Alarm

Imagine your wristwatch reminding you of an important appointment – not with an electronic beep, but with the distinctive buzzing sound of a genuine mechanical alarm movement.

That is exactly what makes the STRELA SIGNAL so fascinating. In addition to displaying the time, it features a separate alarm hand identified by a distinctive red triangle. This allows you to set the desired alarm time.

What makes the movement particularly interesting is its construction with two completely separate mainspring barrels. One supplies the energy required for normal timekeeping, while the other powers the mechanical alarm mechanism.

When the selected alarm time is reached, the stored energy is released. A small mechanical hammer produces the unmistakable buzzing sound of a traditional mechanical alarm watch through a rapid series of strikes.

When fully wound, the alarm sounds for approximately 13 seconds. This is not a modern electronic alarm, but a distinctive mechanical sound that immediately recalls the craftsmanship of traditional watchmaking.

The two generously sized, knurled crowns on the right-hand side of the case allow the wearer to operate the watch and its alarm function.

Such a mechanical complication has become a genuine rarity and makes the STRELA SIGNAL particularly appealing to collectors and enthusiasts of traditional watchmaking.

The Poljot Calibre 2612.1 – A Mechanical Movement with History

The heart of this Strela is the original Poljot 2612.1, a mechanical hand-wound movement with an integrated alarm mechanism.

Its construction is closely connected to the tradition of Swiss alarm movements developed by A. Schild. The Soviet watch industry adopted this proven technical concept and developed its own mechanical alarm wristwatches.

The Poljot 2612.1 features 18 jewels, a monometallic balance and operates at a frequency of 18,000 vibrations per hour, equivalent to 2.5 Hz.

Its construction with two separate mainspring barrels is particularly remarkable. The energy required for the alarm can be stored independently of the mainspring that powers the timekeeping mechanism.

The additional levers, wheels and springs required for the alarm make this calibre considerably more complex than an ordinary mechanical three-hand movement.

The Poljot 2612.1 is no longer manufactured. Original movements from old stock are used in this STRELA SIGNAL, preserving a fascinating piece of mechanical watchmaking history that is increasingly difficult to obtain today.

Historic Design with a Modern Character

The STRELA SIGNAL also pays tribute to the classic Poljot and Sekonda mechanical alarm watches of the 1980s.

Its distinctive stainless steel case features a durable black IP coating. With a diameter of 44 mm and a thickness of just 13 mm, the watch combines a substantial presence on the wrist with comfortable everyday proportions.

The elegant grey dial creates an attractive contrast with the black case. Silver-coloured hour markers and hands with green luminous material ensure good legibility. Subtle red accents, the red-tipped seconds hand and, most importantly, the triangular alarm indicator give the watch its distinctive technical appearance.

The additional inner scale with hour markings is used to set the mechanical alarm.

A hardened mineral crystal protects the dial, while the two large, easy-to-grip crowns underline the functional character of this remarkable mechanical watch.

A Tribute to Alexei Leonov and the History of Space Exploration

The STRELA brand is closely associated with the history of Soviet space exploration. The original Strela chronographs became particularly famous through their connection with cosmonaut Alexei Leonov.

On March 18, 1965, during the Voskhod 2 mission, Leonov became the first human being to leave a spacecraft and perform a spacewalk. For approximately twelve minutes, he floated freely in space, connected to his spacecraft only by a safety tether.

The beautifully decorated stainless steel case back of the STRELA SIGNAL commemorates this historic achievement. Its engraving depicts Alexei Leonov during the first spacewalk in human history.

This exceptional mechanical alarm watch therefore brings together two fascinating subjects: the history of Soviet space exploration and the traditional engineering of mechanical wrist alarms.
