Product details

• The Story

  • Monino (Russian: Мо́нино) is an urban locality located 23 kilometers (14 mi) east of Moscow.

    The Central Air Force Museum in Monino is one of the world's largest aviation museums, and the largest for Russian aircraft. The museum is located next to the Military Academy named after Yuri Gagarin- the first man in space.

    173 aircraft and 127 aircraft engines are on display, and the museum also features collections of weapons, instruments, uniforms, artwork, and other air-related items.

    A library containing books, films, and photos is also accessible to visitors. Tours are given by ex-pilots. The museum opened its doors in 1958 but prior to 1999, the museum was closed to the general public, because of the display of classified prototypes from the era of the former Soviet Union.

    The Moino timepiece has a decidedly aviation / space age flair to it. The bezel is coin edged to hint at the turbine mechanics of early jet age aircraft. An opaque see through dial emits through some of the mechanics of the Japanese precision self-winding automatic movement. The Hour and minute hands sweep over the dial and indexes that are seemingly suspended on the dial face.

    The trademark red lens see through exhibition back on the caseback completes the sandwich construction design of the 316 L marine grade stainless steel case.

    The watch is available in a host of colours that add a vintage inspired style to this stunning timepiece.

• Water Resistance

  • All CCCP timepieces are designed with a minimum water-resistance rating of 5ATM (50m).

    The water-resistance of a timepiece protects the movement from dust, moisture, and risk of damage to the movement should it be immersed in water.

    Please see chart for guidelines for recommended exposure of various water ratings.

    It is important not to attempt to adjust the position of the crown while the timepiece is in contact with water. Water can enter the case causing damage to the movement.

    For timepieces with screw-down crowns, it is important to ensure the crown is in the proper position and completely locked before contact with water.

    For timepieces with chronograph functions, do not engage the chronograph under water, as water may leak in the case and cause damage to the movement.

• Care and Precautions

  • Each CCCP timepiece is designed and manufactured to exceed the highest of standards. In order to ensure optimal performance and longevity from your timepiece, please review the simple guidelines for care and precautions of your new CCCP timepiece.

    Care

    Your timepiece should be cleaned with a soft cloth and water only. Do not submerge your timepiece. Your timepiece should be rinsed clean and dried with a soft cloth after any saltwater use. In order to maintain the “new look” of metal bracelets, we recommend periodic cleanings of the bracelet. Dip a soft brush in warm soapy water and gently rub bracelet clean. We advise having your timepiece serviced every 18-24 months to ensure long use and trouble free operation.

    Precautions

    While your CCCP timepiece has been designed and built to exacting specification, it is important to avoid the following conditions: extreme heat or cold, as well as prolonged periods of exposure to direct sunlight, exposure to wet conditions that exceed your timepiece’s water rating (see case back and chart). Never operate any of the function buttons or crown when timepiece is in contact with water.

    Avoid exposure to strong magnetic fields or sources of static electricity as these may interrupt the mechanisms inside the watch. It is also important to avoid extreme shock or impact.
