Story
In April 1991, Mikhail Gorbachev became the first Soviet leader in history to visit Japan, a monumental diplomatic effort to end decades of Cold War tension.
Maker / Origin
Poljot, which translates to 'Flight,' was the flagship brand of the First Moscow Watch Factory.
Condition & Value
The watch appears to be in very good cosmetic condition with the gold plating intact and the dial showing no significant UV fading. Value is driven by the 3133 movement's reputation among collectors and the specific historical niche of the Moscow-Tokyo summit.
