Revisited: Poljot President 2940 Automatic Chrono

Here is today's look at my old watch and namely my Poljot President Automatic Chronograph with a Chinese TY2940 (ST1940) movement.

I should say the watch is now retired permanently in my watch set because the movement developed some problems about two years into daily use, and namely the hand winding became very heavy and also the chronograph hand started to zero imprecisely but the watch still works otherwise and these issued can probably be solved by servicing it but there you have it, it is now retired, end of story (for now).

My daily worn watch for over two years, and now I am retiring it due to a worn-out strap (which was never the best part) I replace it with my Strela 3133 as a daily wearer.

My watch Poljot President 2940, which already made an appearance on this blog in this post, is an automatic chronograph.

It is my most worn watch at the moment. I also use the chronograph a lot -- to time certain improving activities.

The stopwatch is actually on now.

I made an educated guess about what movement is inside as it was not stated anywhere in the papers. I was sure that it had an TY2940 aka ST1940 inside -- like this one with 33 jewels (and 33 jewels is not too shabby either).

But it is one thing to deduce even if with certainty and it is quite another thing to see for yourself.

So the back is off and the movement is photographed. Quantity has quality all its own, as the saying goes. In other words, what the photos lack in quality I hope they will compensate by their quantity.

Boy, was I right. It IS the ST1940/TY2940 and a decorated and a polished ST1940 at that. (Chemically) Blued screws are a bonus too. Enjoy.
