Product Description
When the first Russian explorers set foot in the arctic in 1957, they wore watches built for extreme temperatures and atmospheric pressure. Their dials featured a 24-hour scale to reflect the unique position they found themselves in, atop a polar world when day and night are virtually indistinguishable Read More
IsoKramerRussian watches generally don't have a quickset date - you adjust the date by advancing the time until around 1am after the date advances then going back before midnight, then forwards again.
This is a nice watch, I own similar one with different dial design - Gagarin version:

Case is solid and movement is a workhorse.
Price is a bit steep IMHO, $150-200 would be more attractive.
rumata13That Sturmanski one looks very nice. It has a second crown to move the 24h dial though doesn't it? The one here on drop doesn't and so can't have a second time zone (which is stated in the text- probably cribbed from somewhere else). Otherwise the 24h dial is more of a day night indicator (useful in the Arctic maybe, but not so much here).
Karl.DSecond crown on my watch is for rotating the scale on the edge on the dial.
The watch in the drop has a small hand for showing the time on 24-hour scale, but that's the same time as is shown by the main hands. As such the watch in the drop (unlike mine) is not really a GMT watch, as it shows the same time zone on both scales.
OldFinnA man with the same ethos as I; but on this occasion it's a bit harsh, it does have a respectable movement and fair amount of detail.Maybe $55 . Just kidding $150 would be fair IMO.
