Poljot Early 1990s Moscow 3105 Manual
This "transitional ghost" is a masterclass in post-Soviet pragmatism, likely commissioned around 1992 as a commemorative gift for Moscow dignitaries. While the dial features a striking icon of St. George—the city's patron saint—and a "Made in USSR" hallmark, the true story lies in its over-engineered heart. Poljot engineers created the Caliber 3105 by stripping the stopwatch components from their legendary 3133 Chronograph, the same movement worn by Cosmonauts in space. This industrial hybrid retains the chronograph’s massive 31mm architecture and rugged pivots, resulting in a sub-seconds hand uniquely positioned at 9 o'clock.
The watch’s mechanical soul is defined by a rare planetary-gear date system inherited from its pilot-watch ancestors. Unlike standard date flips, this "wheels-within-wheels" mechanism provides a high-torque, distinctly mechanical feel during setting. Encased in a relief "Moscow" bezel, this piece is a rugged and eccentric bridge between Soviet military utility and civilian elegance—a three-hand dress watch with the robust soul of a space-proven chronograph.
