The Baikonour Cosmodrome was born in the Kazakh steppe on 2 June 1955, and it remains the birthplace of the entire Space Age. It was from these launch pads that Sputnik lifted off in 1957, and from here that Yuri Gagarin became the first human in space in 1961. This mechanical Pobeda (Победа, “Victory”) carries a commemorative dial made for the cosmodrome’s 45th anniversary, produced around the year 2000.
The dial is a striking blue gradient, showing a rocket on its launch pad, a globe, and the inscription 45 ЛЕТ БАЙКОНУР (“45 Years Baikonour”) in gold and white lettering.
The case measures 38 mm across with a blackened finish (black chrome), fitted on a black leather strap. Serial number 107785 is engraved on the case back.
Serviced by our master watchmaker on 14 June 2026: the movement overhauled, the crystal polished, the hands and dial cleaned. It runs beautifully and comes with a 6-month warranty.
