Extremely rare vintage Sturmanskie 1MChZ (Kirov) — the model famously worn by Yuri Gagarin on the first manned spaceflight. 30mm (1.18”) shockproof mechanical movement, 16mm (0.63”) strap. Perfect collectible & Christmas gift for space, Soviet, and vintage watch lovers.

When Yuri Gagarin looked at his wrist on April 12, 1961, this watch was ticking.
The Sturmanskie 1MChZ (Kirov factory) was not just a timekeeper — it was built to survive launch, orbit, and return.

This rare vintage piece connects you to the dawn of space exploration. Its 30mm (1.18”) case, shockproof Soviet mechanical movement, and 16mm (0.63”) strap embody both precision engineering and historical legend.

Watch was not as described, back was not engraved as shown in photos. Band was also very cheap. I attempted to return during the return window but seller has ghosted me.
