Vodopyanov was dubbed the «all-wheather pilot».
Neither fog nor snow storms could frighten him, and he
was still able to touch down on the smallest of landing
fields. In May 1937, he was the first person to land in
the North Pole area. Under his leadership a group of explorers
was formed to work on the floating "North Pole"
station. |

The
mechanical watch «1937» commemorates the predominantly
ascetic way of life during these years. The new version of the
watches from 1937 has a second hand, a calendar, a shockproofed
movement and a water resistance of 5 atm. The symbol of flying
and the characteristic triangle on the finish dial underline
the association of this watch series with the aviation theme.
