Poljot Tokyo Moscow 1991 Commemorative Chronograph Historical USSR – Caliber 3133 This model commemorates the historic diplomatic summit (peace summit) between the Soviet Union and Japan held in Tokyo in April 1991, during Mikhail Gorbachev's official visit. The watch was intended to symbolize a new era of cooperation between the two nations (hence the Russian and Japanese flags together on the dial). At the time, there was hope that the summit could resolve long-standing territorial disputes and bring significant Japanese investments in the USSR. Naturally, history took another path: the Soviet Union collapsed only a few months later, in December 1991, making this one of the last commemorative watches "Made in USSR" ever produced. • Brand: Poljot (СССР / USSR) • Model: Tokyo-Moscow 1991 Commemorative Chronograph • Movement: Poljot Caliber 3133 (manual-wind mechanical chronograph movement, 23 jewels, based on the Swiss Valjoux 7734 base) • Case: Gold-plated 38 mm excluding crown • Bezel: Engraved with the inscription "TOKYO 1991 MOSCOW" • Dial: Ivory/champagne color with applied Roman numerals, date at 6 o'clock, and dedicated graphic details with the event flags/symbols • Caseback: Steel with Poljot logo, limited edition serial number (e.g., 97090 / 100000 or similar) and 3 ATM water resistance indicatio
