CCCP Aleksandrov – rare mechanical automatic in Soviet-style design

This exceptional CCCP Aleksandrov presents itself in a striking red edition. The interplay of the red leather strap, the red-gold-colored case, and the unusually designed dial makes it a watch that clearly stands out from the crowd of classic wristwatches.

Especially characteristic is the unusual time display with multiple overlapping indicators and the central star. The design consciously echoes the technical and graphic aesthetics of the Soviet spaceflight and industrial era. Comparable Aleksandrov models are listed as automatic mechanical watches with an unusual, partially disc-based time display.

Your example also features the red, perforated part of the dial through which parts of the mechanical movement are visible. Together with the large star, this creates an almost futuristic “Soviet-Industry” look.

On the case back there is a display case back through which the movement can be viewed. The labeling includes, among others, “Aleksandrov” as well as a water resistance of 50 meters. In the Aleksandrov line, 50 m / 5 ATM is documented for several references.
The name Aleksandrov refers to Aleksandr Aleksandrov, a Soviet mathematician, physicist, and philosopher. The design of the dial was created as an homage to his scientific work. Especially characteristic is the star in the center, which rotates as the seconds display. The hours and minutes are displayed via the unusually arranged rings or discs. This is meant not to be a traditional time display, but to reflect mathematical and scientific design ideas.
