Poljot, Men’s Dress Vintage Watch, 1981

Vertical stripes distinguish the yellow dial of this Poljot men's dress watch from 1981. Gold-tone markers and dauphine hands sit inside a slim, polished gold-plated case measuring 36 mm, with a black seconds hand adding contrast. A 17-jewel manually wound movement powers the display, and the textured black leather strap is likely a later replacement.

Striped yellow dial and dauphine hands

The vertical dial pattern gives the warm yellow surface a clear texture. Applied gold-tone hour markers add depth, with clean typography and a discreet date window at 3. The restrained layout leaves the stripes visible between the indications.

Gold-tone dauphine hour and minute hands match the markers and case finish. The central black seconds hand provides a contrasting line across the dial. The original dial and hands are retained.

Polished gold plate and black leather

The stainless steel case has a polished gold-plated finish, a thin bezel and a slim profile. Its 36 mm size gives the watch measured wrist presence, while light case patina remains visible on the well-preserved head.

A small, unsigned crown at 3 supplies daily manual winding. It turns smoothly following service and remains proportionate to the slim case.

The black leather strap has a textured finish and is likely a later replacement. Its darker surface contrasts with the yellow dial and gold plate, while the conventional lug attachment permits strap changes.

Seventeen jewels and Soviet dress design

The manual-wind watch uses a 17-jewel movement for its time display and date at 3. Regular winding supplies its power. Following full service, the watch maintains steady current timekeeping.

Poljot supplied Soviet civilian and military markets, while its dress watches offered restrained styling for everyday domestic wear. This watch from the early 1980s expresses that dress character through its striped dial, thin bezel and compact gold-plated head.

The watch is used, fully serviced and fully operational, retaining its original dial, hands and case with light patina. The black leather strap remains a probably later replacement. It comes with a 12-month warranty, and worldwide shipping is available.
