Wind of change 's review on his Poljot

This export Poljot (with English inscriptions) has a truly remarkable checkered dial that offered a welcome escape from the drabness of the Soviet world. It's clearly an export version, as evidenced by the English inscriptions, but like most export products, it found its way onto the Soviet market through dedicated channels. The bracelet is also unusual, as the lugs are reversed relative to the lug width. Therefore, it's a dedicated bracelet supplied by Poljot and branded with the Poljot logo on the buckle. The bracelet features the inscription "stainless steel" on the inside (except that the inscription is in Russian, unlike the dial). The stainless steel case back is also secured by a six-pronged ring. The movement is a Poljot 2614.2N with 17 jewels. Ultimately, this watch is very legible. Although the hands and dial are similar colors, the way the grooves and angles of the different sections are worked means the light is reflected differently. In most lighting conditions, the time is perfectly legible. However, the checkerboard pattern isn't always visible; from certain angles, it almost looks like a seamless continuum. This is what gives the dial a magical, ever-changing, and sophisticated appearance. The music I would associate with the watch is "Talisman" by Air, because of the captivating effect of the dial. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2RSVa_vF3NI
