DESCRIPTION:
AVIATOR - Poljot Chronograph Caliber 3133
Russian mechanical pilot chronograph from the SIKORSKY series
Igor Ivanovich Sikorsky is one of the most important people in aviation history - Sikorsky, born on May 25, 1889 in Kiev, was a scientist, engineer, pilot and entrepreneur all in one. Inspired by the drawings of Leonardo da Vinci and the stories of Jules Verne, he built a helicopter model powered by a rubber band at the age of 12. After many aeronautical inventions, Sikorsky emigrated to the United States due to the revolution in 1918. The first flight of his helicopter took place there in 1939. Sikorsky loved to amuse his audience and always wore a felt hat on Allen flights - see illustration and engraving on the watch. The highly decorated Russian aviation pioneer died in 1972. The "Sikorsky Aircraft" company, based in Connecticut, is still one of the most important helicopter manufacturers in the world with its "Seahawk and Blackhawk" models.
In his honor, Volmax has released a fascinating chronograph 3133/2111822. This chronograph has a square case made of brushed stainless steel. The slightly curved mineral glass is surrounded by a one-way, rotating bezel and the pushers are equipped with distinctive springs. The screwed back shows a picture of the famous Sikorsky helicopter with him in person (incl. Felt hat of course) on the control stick. The luminous indices and hands are very easy to read. The numbering is engraved on the lower right corner of the back. Manufactured based on the official Russian chronograph for pilots from the 80s. This watch is absolutely new and unworn.
