We are thrilled to announce the latest addition to the STRELA watch family—the stunning STRELA COSMOS 40 mm Series. This collection boasts the exceptional and precise mechanical Seagull ST19 column wheel chronograph caliber, a movement deeply rooted in horological history.
At STRELA, we believe in offering exceptional value to our customers, and with the COSMOS 40 mm Series, we are returning to our roots. Two decades ago, we introduced competitive Russian precision mechanical chronographs to the Western market, making waves with our quality and affordability. Today, we continue this legacy with the ST19 SeaGull® movement lineup.
Rediscover a Classic: Just like the legendary Poljot 3017 Strela chronographs from the 1950s, our COSMOS collection features a column wheel chronograph caliber. This time, it’s the high-quality and accurate Caliber ST1901 by SeaGull. This manual-winding masterpiece offers approximately 50 hours of power reserve, operates at 21,600 beats per hour, features shock protection, and boasts 21 jewels.
