This 23-ruby jewel mechanical chronograph was produced to honor Russia's crack Alpha Special Forces. Like America's Airborne Rangers, they jump from planes and scale tall buildings. During the 1993 coup, when Yeltsin stood firm against die-hard Communists, Alpha troops stormed the Russian White House to defend Russia's fledgling democracy. Produced as a limited edition of just 500 pieces, only a few remain. Stainless steel, gold-finished case with snap back and rotating bezel. Water-resistant to 100'. Mineral crystal. Alpha emblem on dial. Inset date window. Serial number. With hand-stitched Italian leather strap in a gift box. We crawled under barbed wire to get these (so you don't have to). One-year warranty. 200245 $229
