Not quite a Speedmaster or even an Accutron, but this one has a unique claim to fame...it was first in outer space...April 12th, 1961

Just thought a neat inexpensive piece to collect...
wonder what it says on the dial other than the date?

Was it worn by a chimpanzee, LOL?

No the chimp was wearing an Accutron sitting next to Glenn...LOL

ok Tom my Ruski is bit rough since my last Russian
class was in early 80s
but it say the watch model name is Sturmanskie most likely made by Pobieda so from top
