12 April 1961 marked the start of a new age for humanity. Inspired by the courage and daring of the first space traveller, we have developed the Gagarin First series, trying to make every piece in it perfect in every respect. A stylish timepiece with a minimalist but original design. The small ivory watch face is easy to read thanks to the large nimbers. Telling the time will be easy even in the dark as the numbers and hands are luminous. The leather strap is not stitched, but it looks attractive due to the bright orange colour and attachment to the case lugs with large stitches. The unique number of the watch is engraved on the back of the stainless steel case, covered with a transparent screw-down lid. The dial is protected by a convex mineral crystal. The watch is powered by a Russian-made hand-wound Poljot 2609 movement.

ABOUT STURMANSKIE

The Russians were the first to explore space on 12 April 1961 when cosmonaut, Yuri Gagarin, orbited the Earth in his Vostok-1 for one hour and forty-eight minutes. On his wrist, he wore a Sturmanskie watch, the first special timepiece in the world designed and manufactured to go in to space.
Withstanding the severe conditions of zero gravity, strong accelerations, unpredictable vibrations, and varying temperatures, Sturmanskie was the first brand to make astronomical feats in the watch world.
Its innovation was owed to the nautical and aviation chronometers originally developed for the Military Air Forces and Navy by the First Moscow Watch Factory.
The brand Sturmanskie was first launched in 1949. Back then, it was exclusively available for the Armed Forces and Navy of the USSR. It was only in 1983 that Sturmanskie watches were made available to the general public.
Sturmanskie designs continue to be inspired by and pay homage to new frontiers, adventure and exploration.
