At the beginning of the 1970s, Poljot wanted to modernize the 3017 chronograph movement that had been produced to date. The number of pieces should increase.
The delicate switching wheel mechanism of the 3017 should be replaced with a modern cam switching mechanism. The 3017 was already built on a Venus production line imported from Switzerland (Fabrique d'Ebauches Vénus SA) based on the Venus 150.
This tried and tested approach was to be used again in the early 1970s with the new chronograph (31mm). This time a production line from Valjoux SA (today ETA, Swatch Group) was taken over and the movement was given an even stronger Russian heart (balance wheel).The basis for the Russian Poljot 3133 was the Valjoux 7734 or 7733. History Poljot This goes back to 1930.
At that time the factory was still called the "First Moscow Watch Factory". The first movements of the new mass-produced Type 1 were manufactured for the first time on an imported production line from the Dueber-Hampden Watch Company, Ohio.
By 1952, production had increased to 1.1 million watches. The country should be supplied with good watches.
The military and science needed more precise clocks. In 1964 the name of the factory was changed to Poljot (Flight). The watch industry was not only a necessity but also a showcase project in the Soviet Union and Poljot was the greatest success. Other works such as the alarm work Poljot 2612 and many others were produced. In 1990 the production level was 5 million watches per year.
Hundreds of employees made this achievement possible. Despite its long and proud history, Poljot was forced into bankruptcy in 2004. Many highly qualified employees lost their jobs at that time.
Story MakTime However, the 31mm chronograph production line was taken over by the Moscow company MakTime from Poljot in 2005 and thus saved for the time being. The good standard of production was maintained and largely improved. Unfortunately, MakTime had to stop production in 2012 due to bankruptcy. In the meantime, the company had 700 employees divided into the production of the 31mm chronograph movements and the watches in Moscow. The other employees worked at the Penza Watch Factory and produced smaller movements for women's watches under the Zaria brand.Many of our watches are New Old Stock, so our watchmaker measures the watches on the timing machine and adjusts them if necessary.
