Vintage Sportivnie 1MChZ USSR Mechanical Watch | Rare Stop-Second Function 17J Cream Dial

Vintage Soviet mechanical wristwatch Sportivnie (Спортивные), manufactured by the legendary 1st Moscow Watch Factory named after Kirov (1МЧЗ / later known as Poljot) during the USSR era (1950s/1960s).

This highly sought-after and collectible timepiece was originally designed for athletes, military personnel, and sports officials who required precision timing. It features a fascinating and rare "stop-second" (hacking) function — pulling out the crown stops the central seconds hand entirely, allowing for exact down-to-the-second time synchronization.

The watch showcases a beautiful, historic light cream/beige military-style dial with a distinctive heavy vintage patina. It is decorated with golden Arabic numerals, a fine outer tracking ring, and the signature graphic illustration of a running athlete below the "Спортивные" script. Housed in a round chrome-plated case with elegant flowing lugs, it is powered by a high-grade 17-jewel manual-wind movement, beautifully decorated with the iconic diamond-shaped 1МЧЗ factory stamp, stars on the ratchet wheel, and serial number 315538.
