Sekonda Strela, Cal. 3017, Men’s Chronograph Vintage Watch, 1965

White tachymeter and telemeter scales frame the matte black dial of this Sekonda Strela watch from 1965. Gold-framed markers and matching hands contain green lume, while red-arrow subsidiary hands distinguish the two textured subdials. Manually wound 3017 supplies column-wheel chronograph action inside a 36 mm case, fitted with a non-original black leather rally strap.

Dual scales, textured subdials and green lume

The dial combines crisp white outer tachymeter markings with an inner telemeter scale for distance measurement. Applied gold-framed hour markers carry green luminous material, contrasting with the matte black ground. The two subdials at 3 and 9 have fine guilloché texture, with SEKONDA 19 JEWELS branding identifying the export execution.

Gold-tone baton hour and minute hands have inset green luminous blocks matching the markers. A slender bright-white central chronograph seconds hand sweeps across the dial, standing apart from the timekeeping hands. Distinctive red arrow tips on the subsidiary hands help separate the smaller readings from the surrounding scales.

Chrome-plated mid-case, steel back and pump pushers

The case measures 36 mm in diameter, combining a chrome-plated midsection with a solid stainless steel screw-down back. Brushed sides contrast with a polished bezel, and the domed acrylic crystal preserves the compact profile of this mid-1960s chronograph.

Pump pushers at 2 and 4 sit close to the case and provide a responsive tactile action. The original polished unsigned crown has a slightly domed profile for winding, with wear consistent with age.

Rally leather replacement and preserved components

The black leather rally-style strap has large perforations, echoing the sporting character of the dial and pushers. It is not original to the watch. Original dial, hands and case parts are retained, with evenly aged luminous material and honest case and crown wear visible.

Poljot 3017 column wheel and lateral clutch

This manual-wind watch uses the Soviet Poljot 3017, a chronograph caliber with 19 jewels and a model beat rate of 18,000 vph. Its column wheel and lateral clutch coordinate chronograph engagement, with the construction derived from Venus 150. The movement was made by the First Moscow Watch Factory.

The 3017 family was produced for roughly two decades and appeared in Soviet cosmonaut watches of the 1960s and 1970s. The dial on this watch carries Sekonda’s export branding.

The watch is fully serviced and fully operational. Original components and period luminous aging remain visible, with the replacement rally strap disclosed separately. A 12-month warranty is included. Worldwide shipping is available.
