Description

Soviet mechanical Almaz watch – 18 jewels

 

Manufactured on Chistopolsky Watch Factory “VOSTOK”, USSR.

 

The Almaz brand (Алмаз, meaning “diamond”) featured a striking crab-case design and the highly-accurate caliber 2809B. This caliber was based on the chronometer-grade Vostok 2809, but did not meet such strict timekeeping specifications and did not have a precision balance regulator.

The Almaz brand was retired 1964, when the vast majority of Chistopol Watch Factory brands were consolidated under a single trademark: Vostok. Similarly-designed watches continued to be produced in the 1960s, but only under the Vostok name.

 

Made in the fourth quarter of 1960.

 

The watch is mechanical and does not need batteries to operate.

 

Original soviet “Almaz” has mechanical lever movement and manual winding.
