STURMANSKIE chronograph Cushion Case Military Style, Reissue 2009. Russian Federation/Germany.

History: The Soviets introduced a new chronograph caliber in 1976. Called the ОКЕАН, meaning Ocean, the watch was solely intended for use by the BMF, the naval branch of the military. Later, other official versions, such as the Sturmanskie, were introduced. 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. The watch came in both chrome plated and stainless steel cases. Stainless steel cases having stainless steel crowns and pushers and chrome cased watches chromed crowns and pushers. 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. The 3133 was for official-use only until 1983, when it became available to a larger public marketplace, including export varients. The 3133 is still in production today. A slight variation of the standard 3133 is the hacking 31659 caliber version Sturmanskie that was, like earlier Sturmanskies, an air force-only piece. The watch is essentially a standard 3133 that has been re-engineered with a small lever that applies pressure to the outside of the balance when the crown is pulled out, freezing the balance and hacking the watch. Interesting to note, in regard to this watch, is the lack of the rotating bezel and subsequently the crown at nine._Reference.

Case: Cushion type, stainless steel. Dial: Black outer ring is adorned with the offwhite arabic hour numerals and a triangle at 12 o'clock. The dial has white on black minute chapter and gray centre. It has raised metal hour markers end with luminious dots. Hour and minute hands are made of metal with luminious inserts. Red centre stop seconds has an arrow end resemblimg a fighter-jet. Sub second hand is at 9 0'clock in navy blue, and sub stop minute hand is at 3 o'clock in red. Date window is placed at 6 o'clock. Above the date window the coat of arms of Soviet airforces is placed and on the upper part of the dial the inscription Штурманские (which stands for Navigator) is seen. Movement: Calibre 31659, is the last derivative of 3133 developed by USSR in the late 1980s which has a hack lever to stop the watch to make a correct setting. The movement features a 23 jewel, shock proof balance, 21600 bph, 48 hours power reserve. The maker of the movement is Maktime Moscow, which is the inheritor of the Poljot watch makers, and the rest of the watch -case, dial, hands etc.-is manufactured in Germany in a limited number recently. This watch commemorates the Штурманские aeronautical chronographs which was developed to be employed by the Soviet Air Forces and Space Programs.

However, the Company did not begin using the "Vostok" brand name until the 1960s. *Presumable "Vostok" brand was named after the Vostok space program, which gave the initial advancement of the USSR in the Space race (as some others soviet watch brands, named to space topics in 1960s - Poljot and Raketa).The company was appointed an official supplier of watches for the Defense Department of the Soviet Union in 1965. This year also marks the creation of the well known Komandirskie ("Commander's") watch. The experience gained through development of the army watch led to the Amphibia, a stainless-steel watch able to withstand a 200 meter depth (20atm). By 1980, Vostok Watch Makers was producing 4.5 million timepieces per year. This watch is an Amphibia model made by Vostok Watch Factory. It has a bilateral rotating bezel.
