Looking for the feel of old Soviet watches? The Poljot Vintage collection is the most affordable way into the brand. It includes Retro men's models and the Nastja women's watch, most of them hand-wound, though an automatic exists too. As an official Poljot dealer, we deliver genuine watches to your door with the manufacturer's warranty, and our own watch service takes care of strap changes.
What is the Poljot Vintage?
The Vintage revives the design language of old Poljot watches: classic dials, simple hands, a clean case. The Moscow factory received the Poljot name in 1961, and the Vintage evokes the atmosphere of exactly that era. The movement is still Moscow-made mechanics, inspected by Poljot International in Germany.
Retro or Nastja?
- Retro – men's models, and this is where the Poljot price range begins.
- Nastja – a women's piece; women's watches are rare in the Poljot range, so this is a bit of a special find.
Is the Poljot Vintage a good first mechanical watch?
In our view it's one of the best: at the brand's entry level you already get a genuine hand-wound watch with a history. Note that a hand-wound watch has to be wound daily, otherwise it stops. The 5 ATM water resistance is enough for rain and hand-washing, but take it off before washing dishes or bathing. You can compare the more expensive collections on the Poljot brand page, and the men's models among the Poljot men's watches.
How to choose online
Vintage-style cases are generally more modest in size than today's sports watches. Compare the diameter on the product page with the watch you wear now, and don't be alarmed if it seems smaller; that's what gives it period-correct proportions.
