About the brand
VESNA / Весна
The Vesna brand (Весна, meaning “spring”) was a successful and prolific brand until the early-1960s. Vesnas also represented some of the first and only men’s watches to be produced at Penza Watch Factory. The brand was retired around 1964, when all watches produced at Penza Watch Factory were consolidated under a single trademark: Zaria.
