Poljot - Полет
Dials
As you can see the Poljot De Luxe is pretty much the same as the Vympel watch.
Timeline / Movement Logo
In 1963, most of the factories went through consolidation and rebranding: all the separate Chistopol brands (Saturn, Mir, Volna, Kama, etc) became VOSTOK; all the separate Petrodvorets brands (Svet, Mayak, Baltika, Leningrad, etc) became RAKETA; and all the separate 1MWF brands (Vympel, Orbita, Kirovskie, Moskva, etc) became POLJOT. In 1975 Pojot logo was changed to a 'crown' logo but even today the Poljot watches are getting produced with modern and new designs.
As you can see most of the watches stayed the same (minor changes) only the brand name changed to poljot. So Poljot was born when the 1MWF brands were consolidated. The movement logo for the Poljot watches changed to the 1MWF pentagon logo.From 1963 on, the logo didn’t change on any 2209 movements from 1MWF. It was always the pentagon logo. The font on the dial changed over time: first serif, then sans-serif, then others.
