There's hardly any price difference among the Poljot Legends watches, so the decision is mostly a matter of taste. You can choose between automatic and hand-wound men's watches: Gorbatchov, Sputnik and Beringo. As an official Poljot dealer, we deliver genuine watches to your door with the manufacturer's warranty, and our own watch service helps fit the strap to your wrist.
Who is the Poljot Legends about?
The Legends brings well-known names and events from 20th-century Russian and Soviet history onto the watch. The Gorbatchov refers to the era of perestroika, the Sputnik to the first satellite, and the Beringo evokes the region around the Bering Strait. The Poljot name itself has a space-history origin: the Moscow factory received it in 1961, after Gagarin's flight.
Gorbatchov, Sputnik or Beringo?
- Gorbatchov – made in several versions, if you'd like a choice of dials.
- Sputnik – for space-history enthusiasts.
- Beringo – from the world of explorers.
Since the prices are practically the same, our advice is to let the dial and the type of movement decide. Choose an automatic if you don't want to fuss with it, or a hand-wound one if you enjoy the morning ritual of winding.
What to know about wearing a Legends watch
The 5 ATM water resistance is enough for everyday splashes, but take the watch off before bathing. If an automatic has rested in a drawer for a few days, shake it or wind it with a few turns of the crown before setting the time. You can compare the other collections on the Poljot brand page.
How to choose a Legends watch online
Look at the dial up close in the product photos, because with this collection the story and the decoration give the watch its character. Compare the case size with the watch you wear now, and the strap length with your wrist circumference; if it needs adjusting afterwards, our own watch service can help.
Frequently asked questions about the Poljot Legends collection
What determines the price of a Poljot Legends watch?
The prices of the Legends models are almost identical, so here it's the model and the type of movement that decide, not the price. The collection sits in the middle price band of Poljot.
Which models are in the Legends collection?
The collection's best-known pieces are the Gorbatchov, the Sputnik and the Beringo. The Gorbatchov is made in several versions.
Is the Poljot Legends water resistant?
5 ATM water resistance protects against splashes and rain. It isn't meant for swimming or showering, so take the watch off then.
Do I need to change a battery in a Legends watch?
No, because it's mechanical: you wind the hand-wound one with the crown, and the movement of your wrist keeps the automatic running.
