Buran is a Russian brand.
Not related to Poljot.
Google is your friend.
Oh thanks a lot, I thought it was a Poljot because I got this along with another one that apparently was a Poljot (at least it said) and they have the same movement
I saw it's namesake space shuttle sitting in storage on a dock in Bahrain around 2003. Very cool experience!
What does it mean in Russian anyway? In Czech it's a non-flattering term for an uncultured person. I doubt they would name their spacecraft and watches like that.

According to Wikipedia, snowstorm or blizzard: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buran_programme
I imagine that the watched shown by OP manufactured by Poljot was named after the Buran program to kind of “commemorate” it. After all, it’s an aviator’s chrono so it makes sense.
