A superb example of the iconic 1960s–70s Sekonda (Poljot) Strela 3017 chronograph, presented in stainless steel and offered in exceptional unworn condition. Measuring 36mm in diameter excluding the pushers with an 18mm strap width, the watch retains strong, balanced proportions typical of professional Soviet-era chronographs.
At its heart is the highly regarded Poljot Calibre 3017, a 19-jewel hand-wound column-wheel chronograph movement derived from the Swiss Venus 150 architecture. Celebrated for its smooth actuation and mechanical sophistication, the 3017 represents one of the finest chronograph movements produced in the Soviet Union, combining robust engineering with classic column-wheel design.
The dial displays a striking aged patina, adding character and authenticity to the watch’s vintage appeal. It features a clean, functional layout with chronograph registers and clear legibility, reflecting its original purpose as a precision instrument. The Sekonda branding was used for export markets, particularly the UK, during the period when Soviet-made watches were distributed under Western market names.
The Strela 3017 has a strong historical association with Soviet aviation and space exploration, having been issued to military and cosmonaut personnel. Models of this type are famously linked with early space missions, contributing to the watch’s enduring reputation as one of the most collectible Soviet chronographs.
The watch is fitted to a brown Hirsch strap and an aftermarket Omega-style buckle, complementing its vintage aesthetic while ensuring comfortable wear.
Each of our watches is carefully cleaned and serviced by an experienced watchmaker to ensure reliable performance while preserving its original character. For added peace of mind, it is supplied complete with a 12-month mechanical warranty and a new presentation box.
