A friend came by today to pick up a custom-made strap for his Sturmanskie Sputnik Heritage. It's a watch I never knew existed until a week ago. It's an interesting-looking piece, with a highlight being a seconds hand disk featuring an image of Sputnik, the first artificial Earth satellite, rotating around the picture of Earth found on the dial. Inside the 40mm case is a manual-winding Poljot 2609 movement. It's a limited edition of 2000 pieces.
Do you own any Russian watches?

No, that is beautiful!
Looks awesome. Great dial and strap combo 😍
Got a few broken Vostok's too, but this is far higher quality.
Vostok!
I own a few Vostok Amphibias and a 40th Anniversary Yuri Gagarin (33mm) from Sturmanskie on a bund strap.
That's a very cool watch and a banging great match with the strap! Nice job!
I own a Vostok 'Pamfibia' that I really like!
Sturmanskie okeah.
One or two.
I mostly liked my Amphibia, but sold it because I couldn't get over the non clicking bezel. It just seemed more like decoration than a functional tool component.
No. But I'm considering Ukrainian watches. Screw Russia!
I've got a load of Vostoks, but the one I really want is this:
