Rare soviet vintage watch LUCH with electro-mechanical hybrid 3055 movement

Soviet mechanical LUCH watch with electro-mechanical hybrid movement

MADE IN USSR!

This is quite an unusual and rare specimen.
The first batch was made in 1974. Mass production began in 1977
The main feature of an electromechanical watch is a balance motor driven by pulses synchronized by a quartz resonator. In fact, this is mechanics, on the contrary, the torque in the movement appears in balance due to electrical impulses in the coil and is transmitted to the hands. Therefore, the watch has preserved the classic “ticking” for mechanical watches

This is the first and last Soviet watch with a similar movement. This movement was not developed further due to its complexity.

Therefore, subsequently, quartz watches began to be made with the now familiar and simpler movements
