"2809 is the only chronometer-class movement ever produced in Russia. More accurate than anything else. As robust and dependable as Pobeda or Raketa 26xxHA, but unlike them - extremely accurate even after years of poor or no servicing. Different classes of watches, I guess - iconic dial for Sputnik, sturdiest case for Amphibia, and the best handwind movement - for 2809"
