Eaglemoss Military Watches Collection.

Many different watches have been worn by ​Russian Cosmonauts, for example;
​On the first manned Space flight, Yuri Gagarin wore a Shockproof, water resistant Sturmanskie, these were based on a watch from the French firm Lip.
In 1960 NII-Chasprom, a Science Institute based in Belarus, made a small number of Electro Mechanical watches for the Soviet space agency, they are very rare as just 29 were made.
The first man to 'Walk' in space, Alexei Leonov wore a white faced Strela. Originally produced for the Soviet Air Force in the 1950s, variations of this watch​ were​ issued to cosmonauts for 20 years, until it was retired in 1979​. T​he Russian company Poljot still produces a larger version of this watch.
​A Chronograph initially produced for the Soviet Navy, The OKEAN 3133, has been commonly in use by cosmonauts since the 1970s​. Publicly available since 1983 it is still a favourite for extravehicular activity, which requires a mechanical watch is used.
In 1994, after two years of testing and preparation by the "Yuri Gagarin Russian State Scientific-Research Test Center of Cosmonauts Training" in Star City, Fortis watches became official issue for cosmonauts

The watch produced for this issue most resembles a Strela, these were also branded as Poljot or Sekonda. The dial detail is better than usual.
