Description: I bring to your attention a very rare Poljot 3133 with a black dial in latin san serif The chronograph features a very early mechanism with the Poljot logo on the bridge Movement - with golden wheels ( original ), mechanical , marked 23 jewels, movement caliber 3133 Whether or not the 3133 was meant as a replacement for the Strela, it soon became clear that that was precisely what it was. Based on the Valjoux 7734 of which the soviets had purchased the machinery from the Swiss in 1974 to begin their own production of their new caliber. The new 31 mm movement was a less complex and more robust movement than the jewel-like 3017. A simple cam design replaced the earlier watches more complex, and costly to produce, column wheel activation. And for the first time in history a Russian chronograph was equipped with shock protection. At 38 mm wide and 12 mm high, with 18 mm sized lugs, the watch was equipped with unique crystal that protruded from the case a fairly steep 3 mm high. All early versions of the watch had a crown at nine that turned a bezel under that purposefully high crystal that had a second hour chapter ring printed on it, making keeping track of a second time zone effortless. Like the earlier Strela, many different versions of the 3133 made there way into space on various missions. Of note was the ill fated Soyez 23 mission, that left two cosmonauts for dead atop a cracked, frozen lake bed overnight until rescue teams could safely reach them.
