Sportivnie
Sportivnie / Спортивные
The Sportivnie brand (Спортивные, meaning “sporty”) was manufactured in the 1950s and early 1960s, using a modified caliber 2408 movement fitted with a special hacking mechanism. This hacking complication would temporarily halt the second hand any time the crown was pulled out to the time-setting position; the watch would resume normal function once the crown was returned to the winding position.
Most modern quartz watches have hacking complications, but this was state-of-the-art technology in the 1950s; notably, this was the same movement found inside the military-issued Sturmanskie.
The Sportivnie brand was retired in 1964, when all individual First Moscow Watch Factory brands were consolidated under a single trademark: Poljot.
