Sturmanskie Sputnik

It was a series of beeps that came from a 183-pound Soviet spacecraft that whipped around the Earth's orbit every ninety-eight minutes. Those beeps were proof that Sputnik 1, the first artificial satellite was a successful mission. Sputnik (Russ. "Спутник") became a sensation as it was the first man-made artificial earth satellite visible to everybody. That day, on October 4th 1957, the Soviet Union not only made their mark in history but also launched the so called "Space Race" between the Soviet Union and the United States of America. Dedicated to the success of Sputnik, this watch has a classic design and fits comfortably on the wrist.
