Own something really unique!

This unique Russian unisex watch is in good condition, considering that it is about 40 years old. It has some fine scratches which reflects it's age, but overall appearance is still very good. The winding knob's engraved lines are a bit worn down. The watch runs smoothly.

Russian watches have become sought-after due to their uniqueness and build quality. There is just something about the Russian's ability to manufacture mechanical items which last forever - here the T34 Tank, AK47, Fed and Kiev cameras, Sikorsky Helicopters, MIG-27 Fighter Planes, Antonov Cargo Planes and Sukhoi Aerobatics Planes come to mind.

The history of Chaika:

Chaika (Russian: , meaning "seagull"), is a Russian watchmaking company founded in 1937 in the town of Uglich. The factory started with the production of movement parts and stones. Gradually the full-cycle production of watches and movements was organized. In the 1980s the factory produced more than 500,000 watches per year. At the beginning of 2000 the factory started manufacturing Chaika watches in cases made of precious metals. Currently, the Chaika watches continue to be produced at the Chaika Production Watch Factory located in Uglich.

Chaika Production is one of the few watchmaking companies in Russia where the full cycle of watch production is preserved: model development, external decoration production, equipment and accessories production. Chaika cooperates with international partners regarding the production of watch movements and accessories. The best national watchmaking experts continue the glorious traditions of Chaika in completely renovated and modern production buildings of the historical site of the factory built in 1937.
