For space travel

 

The Omega Speedmaster 3534.70, selected by U.S. space agencies.

Zero gravity environment and other extreme conditions encountered by astronauts in space require the use of specially tested watches. On April 12, 1961, Yuri Gagarin wore a Shturmanskie (a transliteration of Øòóðìàíñêèå which actually means "navigator's") wristwatch during his historic first flight into space. The Shturmanskie was manufactured at the First Moscow Factory.

Since 1964, the watches of the First Moscow Factory have been marked by the trademark "ÏÎËÅÒ", transliterated as "POLJOT", which means "flight" in Russian and is a tribute to the many space trips its watches have accomplished. In the late 1970s, Poljot launched a new chrono movement, the 3133. With a 23 jewel movement and manual winding (43 hours), it was a modified Russian version of the Swiss Valjoux 7734 of the early 1970s. Poljot 3133 were taken into space by astronauts from Russia, France, Germany and Ukraine. On the arm of Valeriy Polyakov, a Poljot 3133 chronograph movement-based watch set a space record for the longest space flight in history.

During the 1960s, a large range of watches were tested for durability and precision under extreme temperature changes and vibrations. The Omega Speedmaster 3534.70 was selected by NASA, the U.S. space agency. (For a list of NASA-certified watches, see this footnote).

Tag Heuer Replica Watches became the first Swiss watch in space thanks to a Heuer Stopwatch, worn by John Glenn in 1962 when he piloted the Friendship 7 on the first manned U.S. orbital mission.

The Omega Speedmaster 3534.70 was designed with a 24-hour analog dial to avoid confusion between AM and PM, which are meaningless in space. It was first worn in space by U.S. astronaut Scott Carpenter on May 24, 1962 in the Aurora 7 mercury capsule.

Since 1994 Fortis is the exclusive supplier for manned space missions authorized by the Russian Federal Space Agency.welcome to www.watchesgoogle.com.
