Poljot Alarm, Cal. 2612.1, Men’s Manual Wind Vintage Watch

Poljot Alarm 1976 — angular Soviet design with mechanical purpose

The compact 33 mm case and 39 mm lug-to-lug measurement give this watch restrained vintage dimensions, yet the broad faceted exterior makes it appear more substantial on the wrist. The shaped dial opening, brushed case top and dark outer border create a layered architectural effect typical of bold 1970s design. The 18 mm strap width keeps the case visually balanced.

Silver textured dial with 18 JEWELS signature

The dial has a pale silver finish with visible vertical texture and light age-related spotting. Applied rectangular hour markers sit around the perimeter with fine minute divisions and a darker inner scale. The POLJOT signature appears near 12 o’clock, while 18 JEWELS is printed above 6. MADE IN USSR at the lower edge gives the watch a clearly documented Soviet identity.

Alarm hand and contrasting central indications

The display uses conventional hour and minute hands together with a central seconds hand and an additional alarm-setting hand. The alarm hand is visually distinct and works with the inner printed scale, adding purpose to the restrained dial. Warm-toned accents on the hands and applied markers contrast with the silver background while keeping the indications easy to distinguish.

Faceted case geometry and twin-crown layout

The silver-tone case has a broad rectangular form with clipped corners and a brushed upper surface, while polished side areas add contrast around the perimeter. Light scratches and age-related marks remain visible. Because the exact case material is not confirmed in the supplied data, no stainless-steel or plated-case claim is made.

Two ridged crowns for time and alarm control

Two separate ridged crowns are positioned on the right side of the case. Their presence is central to the alarm complication, separating ordinary time-setting functions from alarm control. Both have pronounced grip surfaces suited to adjustment. No crown signatures are clearly visible in the supplied photograph, so the listing does not describe them as signed.

New black crocodile-embossed leather strap

A new high-quality black leather strap is fitted between the 18 mm lugs. Its crocodile-embossed texture and dark stitching complement the graphic case without distracting from the unusual dial architecture. The strap is adjustable and is treated as a replacement component, while the watch itself is confirmed as retaining all original watch components.

Caliber 2612.1 and the appeal of a mechanical alarm

The confirmed Poljot 2612.1 caliber is a manual-wind movement with an integrated mechanical alarm function. The dial visibly states 18 JEWELS, providing a confirmed jewel-count detail for this example. Unlike a conventional hand-wound watch, the alarm adds an audible mechanical function set through dedicated controls. The piece is listed as serviced and fully operational.

Made in USSR character from the mid-1970s

Dated to 1976, this watch combines a complication-focused movement with a distinctly geometric case and dial treatment. The angular body, twin crowns, shaped crystal opening and mechanical alarm create an identity far removed from simpler Soviet dress watches. Collectors can browse Poljot vintage watches with 1970s Soviet mechanical character, while those interested in traditional winding can explore manual-wind vintage watches with distinctive mechanical functions.

Serviced originality and present-day ownership

This Poljot is confirmed as serviced, fully operational and fitted with all original watch components. The black leather strap is new and is not presented as an original period component. The dial shows light age-related spotting, while the case carries scratches and normal surface wear visible in the supplied image. No box or papers are included. A 12-month warranty accompanies the watch.
