STURMANSKIE OPEN SPACE DAY-DATE NH36/1891772B

The Open Space Day-Date Automatic line is a new interpretation of the classical watch. The collection is distinguished by a modern design with complex lines and shapes, a functional dial showing the time, the date and day of the week, and a reliable mechanical calibre with automatic winding. This model is designed in a serene beige and brown colour scheme. A comfortable stainless steel bracelet with a standard butterfly buckle is easily adjustable in length. The dial is perfectly legible in any light setting thanks to the luminous markers and hands. The durable steel case reliably protects the watch movement from damage, and a convex mineral crystal protects the dial. The rear side looks unusual as it features an image of an astronaut on a spacewalk.

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.
