New 42 mm Strela Re-Issues

Julian Kampmann's Poljot24.de has new 42 mm Strela re-issues.


Their origin is as yet unclear to the uninitiated but the inscription русский механизм generally points in the direction of Juri Levenberg, a Germany-based maker and seller of Russian themed timepieces.

The movement is marked C3133 as opposed to MakTime's earlier designation P3133 but the stamp looks to be that of MakTime. It is claimed the "C" in C3133 stands for Стрела, i.e. Strela.

They look very sharp and probably better than all of the previous re-issues but some moot points are there, especially with certain Russian writings on the dial, the font for Strela etc.

First "real life" photos of the new Strela in this post in Russian on the Russian forum.watch.ru forum.
