During Soviet times, there was a powerful watch industry. The watches made in the USSR not only had a stunning design, but also could compete with famous Swiss movements. Look at the most interesting and beautiful collection from the USSR.

Until 1991, there were about ten factories in our country, which together produced up to a hundred brands of watches. Watches for military personnel, pilots and astronauts deserve special attention. Manufacturers of such watches put a lot of effort and time into getting a truly worthwhile example. Some brands, despite their great popularity in Soviet times, are now rarities. The price of such specimens reaches several hundred dollars.

история... wink

я так жалею, что провтыкал свою "Электронику" пластиковые... Один минус - неводопроницаемые.
"Атомная защита" немного смущает, правда
