Description from the seller

Title:
Soviet Military/Air Force Issue Two-Button Export Stopwatch Agat — Caliber 42608, Shockproof, SU-Marked — Circa 1985-1991

Description:
For your consideration is an authentic, vintage Soviet two-button mechanical stopwatch produced by the famous Zlatoust Watch Factory (Agat) during the late Soviet era (circa 1985-1991).

This is a highly collectible export version, featuring the desirable "Made in USSR" inscription on the dial and the "SU" (Soviet Union) stamp on the movement.


Military Application & Historical Context:
The 42608 caliber with cumulative action and an incabloc shockproof system was a standard-issue timing instrument widely used across the Soviet Armed Forces (Red Army). These precise timepieces were indispensable tools for Soviet Air Force (VVS) pilots and navigators for flight calculations, Naval (VMF) officers for tactical maneuvering, and Artillery crews for calculating fire-delivery timing.

Export versions were strictly quality-controlled by military-adjacent state acceptance inspectors to meet demanding international and tactical operational standards.

Technical Specifications & Movement Details:
• Brand: Agat (Zlatoust Watch Factory)
• Category: Military Horology / Tactical Timing Instruments
• Caliber: 42608 (42mm movement diameter).
• Features: 16 Ruby Jewels, cumulative action (two-button control: start/stop via crown, split-second reset via side button).
• Protection: Military-grade incabloc shockproof balance system (indicated by the "8" in the caliber code 42608), designed to withstand high vibrations and impacts.
• Movement Markings: Stamped with the official Soviet export mark "SU" and the factory internal military/batch control stamp "0550".

Condition Report:
• Movement Condition: In fully operational working condition. It winds and ticks very strongly and confidently, keeping consistent time.
• Functions: All complications work flawlessly. The start and stop functions are fully responsive with crisp button action.
• Reset: The flyback/reset mechanism is precise; the hand snaps back exactly to the zero position every single time.

• Cosmetic Condition: Please study the high-resolution photos carefully to assess the cosmetic condition of the case and crystal.
