Monter une bracelet NATO sur une montre du Pacte de Varsovie, voilà qui est osé camarade !


[Mode chafouin off]

Si j'en crois cet article, cette montre était un modèle de dotation pour les pilotes de l'armée de l'air soviétique.wornandwound a écrit:The success of Vostok 1 was not only a victory for the Soviet space program, however. It was a victory for the 1st Military Watch Factory, as strapped to Gagarin’s wrist throughout the mission was a simple 17-jewel Sturmanskie. The Sturmanskie, introduced in 1954, as a special issue watch for Soviet Air Force pilots.
Mais je dis peut-être abusivement "dotation" ; que ce modèle ait été destiné aux pilotes n'implique pas qu'elle leur était "offerte"… s'ils devaient l'acheter, c'était alors leur montre personnelle.
Faudrait fouiller
EDIT : dans cet autre article, on peut lire:iwmagazine.com a écrit:Personal choice
As a testament to the pragmatism of the Russian space program, unlike the deliberate choice of watches made by NASA for their U.S. counterparts, the model Gagarin wore just happened to be his personal timepiece. As the standard pilot’s issue watch of the time, he most likely received it when he graduated from the Russian air force flight school.
Article qui du coup ne s'embarrasse pas d'un distingo entre "dotation" et montre personnelle.

Nan, on ne peut pas.
C'est pas un NATO.

(…)
Since 1973, the G10 strap has seen only slight modifications. The current version has been downsized to 18mm (this is due to the 18mm lugs found on the Cabot Watch Company’s military issue watch) and now has stainless steel hardware. In 1978, a company known as Phoenix took over production of MoD-spec G10 straps, and would be the “real deal” if one was looking for it today.
