The name: On the 12th of April, 1961, the space ship "Vostok" was launched with the world’s first cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin on board. "...I am coming into the shadow of the earth" sounded his voice in the ether. In the headquarters, his words were not grasped immediately... It was the beginning of a new era, in which human beings were able to see the other side of our planet. The legendary flight only lasted 108 minutes, but these minutes separated the "Yesterday" from "Today". The chronograph "Gagarin" is dedicated to this historical event.

The watch: The typical tachometer scale, the silhouette of the globe on the dial and the inscription "The first man in space" commemorate the dream come true. The chronograph is produced with movement cal. 31679. with moon phase indication. Through the half-visible glass back the viewer looks to the perfection of gold-plated and refined with "Geneva Stripes" ornated movement. The other half is steel back - engraved and decorated with the head of an astronaut's helmet, which has the inscription "CCCP".

The roots of the watch brand POLJOT INTERNATIONAL are in the 30s of last century, as in Moscow the "First State Watch Factory" was founded. 1961, after the flight of the first world citizen Yuri Gagarin into space, the factory-produced watches got the name "Poljot" (Air Flight).
In 1992 in Frankfurt am Main "Poljot-V GmbH" for watch distribution was founded. The 1994 newly created brand POLJOT INTERNATIONAL continued on the one hand the Russian tradition of the brand "Poljot" and developed on the other hand new ways such as using only high-quality materials.
All the watches of the brand POLJOT INTERNATIONAL are produced in Germany today. Nevertheless, you can feel and see the charm and gentleness in the design, the skillful hands of master watchmakers, the warmth of the Russian soul, and of course the love to Russia.
