| In
the first years of its existence the young Soviet republic
had to overcome many difficulties, new technologies and
industries had to be introduced, and in some areas world
records were achieved. In 1936 a crew led by Valerij Chkalov
set a long distance flight record going from Moscow –
Franz-Joseph-Land – Severnaya Semlya to Petropavlovsk
in Kamchatka covering a total distance of 9.374 K. The
flight took 56 hours and 20 minutes. |

The
presented watch «1936» with its sportive pilote
look is dedicated to the master of record and stunt flying,V.Chkalov.
The original cherry red and anthracite hues of the dial are
– so to speak – symbolizing the exceptionality of
this man. The shockproofed movement has a central second hand
and a water resistance of 5 atm. |
