When I ordered this member (a new chronograph Poljot Sturmanskie) of my small family of Russian watches, I asked to my retailer to mount the watch directly on a specific leather band and a "butterfly" deployant. When I prepared this series of photographs, with some accessories from my personal collection, I realized that, altogether, they strangely and wonderfuly associated the three types of materials: metals, wood and leather.
All finely fashioned by the human genus and its fascination for these materials of the Universe and Life on Earth...here there are the pictures:

Fascinating navigation (the meaning of Sturmanskie) instruments

I also posted the pictures on a Watchuseek gallery of the Russian watch forum here.Image are resized to 600 pixel widths but are available at 1024 resolutions just by cliking on them.
