Soviet era watches (27 photos)

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.

The price of such specimens reaches several hundred dollars.
