The finely shaped crown, as well as the two cylindrical pushers and screw replicas on the lugs are polished. The dial is classically understated, yet originally filigree. The hour scale is set in the recessed metallic grooved shiny circle, so the minute scale has a lot of space in the large white circle, where the blue shimmering minute numerals come into their own. The narrow blued and gold-matt hands underline the filigree character of the selected design elements.Back. The glass bottom, which is also fluted and harmoniously adjusted, offers a clear view of the precision mechanics of the legendary Russian Poljot 3133 caliber. The Poljot 3133 movement There is a lot that could be said about this hand-wound mechanical chronograph movement. It has a Russian heart, powered by Swiss precision. At the beginning of the 1970s, the Moscow Poljot factory wanted to modernize the 3017 chronograph movement it had been producing. It was already approx. Produced for 15 years and a little more difficult to produce, the number of units should certainly increase. The beautiful filigree switching wheel mechanism should be replaced with a more modern cam switch mechanism. The older 3017 was already built on a production line imported from Switzerland by the company Venus (Fabrique d'Ebauches Vénus SA) based on the Venus 150, and then slightly modified in the Soviet Union. This proven approach was to be used again with the 3133 in the early 1970s. This time, a production line from Valjoux SA (now ETA, Swatch Group) was taken over and the movement was given a slightly stronger (larger) Russian heart (balance wheel). The basis for the Russian Poljot 3133 was the Valjoux 7734 or. 7733. The machines and know-how were once again purchased from a good source.Poljot/MakTime 3133Elevator: Hand windingMovement Caliber: 31mmMovement height: 7.38mmJewels (bearing stones): 23Features/Complications: Hours, minutes, seconds, calendar, stopwatch adding upShock protection: Yes (Poljot)Frequency: 3 Hz (21,600 vph)Daily gait deviation: from -10 to +50 s/day (manufacturer specification MakTime)Power reserve: Chronograph off: 42-45 h - Chronograph on: 37-39 hHistory Poljot and MakTime This goes back to the year 1930. At that time the factory was called: "First Moscow Watch Factory". The first Type-1 movements were also manufactured on an imported production line by the Dueber-Hampden Watch Company, Ohio. By 1952, production had increased to 1.1 million watches. The country should be supplied with good watches. The military, pilots and science needed more precise clocks. The name was changed to Poljot (flight), and in 1975 the old and new Valjoux production line was put into operation, producing the 3133 and other 31mm movements. In addition to being a necessity, the watch industry was also a showcase project in the Soviet Union and Poljot was the greatest success. Other movements such as the Poljot 2612 alarm movement and many others were also produced. In 1990, production reached 5 million watches per year. Hundreds of employees made this achievement possible. In 2004, Poljot had to go bankrupt despite its long and proud history. Many highly qualified employees lost their jobs. Luckily, someone was found who took over parts of the production. The 31mm chronograph production line was continued from 2005 by the Moscow company MakTime and was thus saved for the time being. However, MakTime had to close again in 2012 for the same reason (a pity, just before the movement shortage by Swatch AG, and there was already an automatic chrono prototype). MakTime now had 700 employees divided between the production of the 31mm chronograph and the watches in Moscow. The other employees worked at the Penza Watch Factory and produced smaller movements for ladies' watches under the Zaria brand and produced for other manufacturers.
