Morning y'all Today, an authentic vintage Chaika (Чайка) manual-wind mechanical watch, manufactured by the Uglich Watch Factory in the USSR during the late 1980s. Because the dial markings ("Chaika", "17 Jewels", "Made in USSR") are written in English, this is an authentic Soviet export model designed for foreign markets. ​Features & Specs: ​Movement: 17-Jewel manual wind (hand-wound mechanical, no battery needed). ​Case: Unique black composite/plastic outer case with a gold-tone inner bezel ring and crown. ​Dial: White dial featuring full Arabic numerals, railway minute track, and outer minute markers. ​Caseback Serial: 917780 ​Strap: Fitted on a white leather strap. ​Condition: Vintage pre-owned condition with light cosmetic wear consistent with age. Smooth winding action. ​A fantastic, unique piece of late Cold War / Perestroika era watchmaking history! ​#VintageWatch #SovietWatch #MadeInUSSR #ChaikaWatch #MechanicalWatch #VintageChaika #ColdWarHorology #SovietExport #HandWoundWatch #17Jewels
