...it's not Gagarin's Sturmanskie, but a Soviet Pobeda (Victory) watch from 1953, model "34-K". On March 9, 1961, the Russians launched Sputnik-4 (called Sputnik-9 in Western sources), carrying a mannequin named Ivan Ivanovich, several mice, a guinea pig and a dog named Chernushka (Blackie). Dr. Abraham Genin, a Soviet aerospace medicine researcher, attached his old watch to dog (or rather female dog) Chernushka, thinking it was a good idea to get rid of his old watch. Sputnik-4 was one of the ships in a series prepared for manned space flights. The flight ended better than in the case of the dog "Łajka". The mannequin was catapulted and returned to Earth by parachute. Chernushka landed in the capsule alive and well. Only Dr. Abraham Genin had a problem, because the engraving on the back revealed whose watch was illegally included in the mission. A month later, on April 12, 1961, Yuri Gagarin became the first man in space. In the photos the dog Chernushka and Dr. Genin with her watch and my Pobeda produced in 1958. equipped, like Dr. Genin's Pobeda, with a 15-jewel K-26 mechanism (later called: caliber 2602), built on the basis of the French Lip 26 (Frederik Lipman). ************************ ...questo non è lo Sturmanskie di Gagarin, ma un orologio sovietico Pobeda (Vittoria) del 1953, modello "34-K". Il 9 marzo 1961, i russi lanciarono lo Sputnik-4 (chiamato Sputnik-9 nelle fonti occidentali), trasportando un manichino di nome Ivan Ivanovich, diversi topi, una cavia e un cane di nome Chernushka (Blackie). Il dottor Abraham Genin, un ricercatore di medicina aerospaziale sovietico, legò il suo vecchio orologio al cane (o meglio alla cagnolina) Chernushka, decidendo che sarebbe stata una buona idea sbarazzarsi del vecchio orologio. Lo Sputnik-4 era una delle navi di una serie preparate per i voli spaziali con equipaggio. Il volo si è concluso meglio che con il cane "Łajka". Il manichino è stato catapultato e riportato sulla Terra con il paracadute. Czernuszka è atterrato sano e salvo nella capsula. L'unico problema era il dottor Abraham Genin, perché l'incisione sul retro rivelava di chi era l'orologio illegalmente presente nella missione. Un mese dopo, il 12 aprile 1961, Yuri Gagarin divenne il primo uomo nello spazio. Le foto mostrano il cane Czernushka e il dottor Genin con il suo orologio e il mio Pobeda prodotto nel 1958, equipaggiato, come il Pobeda del dottor Genin, con un meccanismo K-26 calibro 15 (in seguito chiamato: calibro 2602), costruito sulla base del modello francese Labbro 26 (Frederik Lipman ).

Claudio Cortesi - Pobeda can be purchased on various auction sites. There are even models from 1954, exactly the same as the one from the space trip. The prices are really very low.

Beautiful thank you for your kind words and visits,. I wish only sweet dreams Sorriso
