For sale is a beautiful vintage Buran mechanical chronograph watch made by the First Moscow Watch Factory Poljot in Russia in the early 1990s. This pilot style timepiece is powered by the legendary Russian caliber 3133 movement with 23 jewels, which is highly praised by collectors worldwide for its robust build and Swiss Valjoux 7734 heritage. The watch features a striking white dial with gold tone markers, a distinct fluted coin edge bezel, and a date window at 6 o'clock. It comes with a dark brown leather strap and a black presentation box as shown in the pictures. This is a perfect addition for any military, aviation, or vintage watch enthusiast.
Condition
The watch is in excellent cosmetic and fully working technical condition. It has been recently fully serviced (cleaned, oiled, and adjusted by a professional watchmaker). The hand winding mechanism runs smoothly and keeps good time. The chronograph functions perfectly: it starts, stops, and resets sharply exactly to the 12 o'clock position. The gold plated case and buttons show only minimal, honest signs of wear with no deep scratches or significant plating loss. Glass and dial are clean and clear. Please examine the high resolution photos of the movement and exterior to judge the condition for yourself.
