When Yuri Gagarin became the first man in space on April 12th, 1961 he was wearing a very special watch. This watch was specifically made for the space flight by Sturmanskie. Just like it's carrier the watch became legendary because it worked flawlessly in weightlessness. Since 1961 Sturmanskie watches have been the official watch of the Soviet and Russian cosmonauts. Dedicated to Yuri Gagarin the Gagarin line is inspired by the initial design and high-quality processing. Every model must withstand severe tests but also keep alive the spirit of the 60's.
This Gagarin watch comes with one pre-mounted leather strap in a beautiful Sturmanskie "space capsule".
