It's a homage to a Russian chronograph.

You can look it up urofa type 59. One of the early chronograph in Soviet Union, originated from Germany Tutima.

Colorful history behind it during the WWI.

So the logo on the dial actually represent First Moscow Watch Factory, later known as Poljot.

Look unique. Price wise, a bit steep to me.

The new TNT Military Chronograph is a autentic hommage to the WW2 military pilotwatch. It is designed as close as possible to the original watch which is one of the most rare collectorwatches nowadays. The size of the case the dial and the decentral pusher are made as close as possible to the original.

This first serie is limited to 199 pieces. 80 pieces already blocked...

We will update you here …
I hope you like

For the price of 899eu... it's not really going to be budget friendly, but still consider affordable because... of a SEIKO AutoChrono movement?

Btw. If you look carefully the pushers are intentionally located in that positions. It's not a illusion.

The original chronograph has that asymmetrical positions.

Serviceability... will be a typical concern to most. After all these years... the "WorkHorse" grading had been taken by the 7750s.
