Made in Germany !!! GERMAN DESIGNED TIMEPIECE !!!
Has the legendary Poljot 3133 mechanism, Made in Russia !!!
The Poljot 3133 is a 23 jewel, cam controlled, chronograph, lever movement operating at 21,600 bph. It has a running second dial at the 9 o'clock position, a 30 minute counter sub-dial at 3 o'clock, and a sweep second counter mounted centrally along with the timekeeping minute and hour hands. A date display is provided at the 6 o'clock position. The chronograph functions are controlled through two buttons, one (at 2 o'clock) for starting and stopping the chronograph, one (at 4 o'clock) for resetting the second and minute counters. The cam prevents the action of the reset while the chronograph is running. The 3133 has a date ring and a date quick set mechanism, it can be used by turning back the hands to 23:00 and advancing them to midnight and back again to advance in days. The 3133 is based on the Swiss Valjoux 7734. Back in the seventies, the Russians purchased the tooling from the Swiss for the 7734, made a few modifications, and produced the 3133. (The Russians raised the jewel count from 17 to 23 and increased the bph (beats per hour) from 18000 to 21600 among other things.) The 3133 is a well regarded movement that is known for it's long power reserve per wind and relative ruggedness as mechanical chronographs go.The watch itself works flawlessly. The winding mechanism is very smooth and the chronograph starts, stops and resets to zero perfectly !!! Specifications

All the pictures of my items are made under natural light !!! IT IS VERY IMPORTANT !!! Under artificial light the real color is distorted and some defects ,,are not seen" !!! My buyers are smart, they won't fall for the old trick with extra light !!!Water Resistance
....a never-ending source of misunderstandings often caused by the irresponsible advertising of certain competitors, who are usually the ones to refuse any responsibility when damage by water occurs.Here are the facts in plain English:
1. Every known brand submits the watch to a 2-phase test in a chamber, where it has to withstand to pressure for the minimum length of time required by industrial standards. It may seem a paradox, but low pressure-resistance, say at 0.5 bar equivalent to 50 cm depth is more critical to achieve, because increasing pressure tends to compress the seals, thereby increasing the resistance; the second phase test conducted at 3 bar (30 m.) is confirmatory.
Because of a solid case-construction, the known brands watches will resist to 10 bar (100 m. or 300 ft) and we could confidently call it a «diver’s watch»2. HOWEVER:
The water resistance of a wristwatch is constantly challenged by mechanical wear caused by bumps, shocks etc., rapid changes in temperature, caustic acids, chemicals, etc. and can therefore not be guaranteed as a permanent condition.
I renounces to using inflationary «theoretical» claims; the decision to wear your valuable timepiece for swimming, diving or in the Sauna is yours.On a side-note: Only very few specially trained and equipped divers reach depths of 100 m and wear professional computers to indicate the life-saving compression- and decompression data; at such depths, normal watches will just not do.Please review the pictures carefully. They are part of the description. I try my best to provide accurate descriptions and pictures, but occasionally I miss something. Ask before buying, not after. I will consider that you accepted my terms and description.If you are looking for a specific model and I don't have it listed, please ask me. I may have it in my collection or I can find it for you. I mainly sell vintage watches. They MAY have  flaws associated with age (leather is the culprit), and are not perfect. Please review the pictures carefully. They are part of the description. I try my best to provide accurate descriptions and pictures, but occasionally I miss something.I am always happy to combine shipping on multiple items, so please take a look at my other watches / items !!!I love all of my buyers, but:I find it, clean it, research it, purchase boxes, peanuts, tissue, bubble wrap and pay both ebay and Paypal fees. My shipping charges cover tracking number and insures your package (just in case of bad luck). I will mark the package as a gift.  Unfortunately, I cannot afford to offer free shipping and still stay in business.
Shipping is clearly stated and I make no profit on it. If that does not rate 5 stars, perhaps I am not the seller for you.
