I'm thrilled to present this watch restoration to you. Until now, I thought that this watch movement was only found in the Type II Sturmanskie, made famous by Yuri Gagarin. However, it's unfortunate that Gagarin's Sturmanskie is one of the most frequently counterfeited watches out there.
Really surprised, I got the opportunity to work on an identical movement for a fraction of the cost, and I can confirm that it's the real thing. It was a dream come true to work on this piece of history.
So, is the first watch movement in space any good? Let's find out.

Sportivnie / Спортивные
After World War II, the First State Watch Factory focused heavily on wristwatch production. This lead to a proliferation of discrete brands in the 1950s, all powered by First Moscow Watch Factory movements. These brands included Antarktida, Kirovskie, Kosmos, Mayak, Moskva, Orbita, Pobeda, Poljus, Rodina, Signal, Sportivnie, Sputnik, Stolichnie, Strela, Sturmanskie, and Vympel.
The Sportivnie brand (Спортивные, meaning "sporty") was manufactured in the 1950s and early 1960s, using a modified caliber 2408 movement fitted with a special hacking mechanism. This hacking complication would temporarily halt the second hand any time the crown was pulled out to the time-setting position; the watch would resume normal function once the crown was returned to the winding position. (Most modern quartz watches have hacking complications, but this was state-of-the-art technology in the 1950s; notably, this was the same movement found inside the military-issued Sturmanskie.)
