About the watch factory
This watch ships from 🇺🇦 Ukraine with tracking number
The Molnija clock and watch factory was opened on November 17, 1947. The company’s main customer was then the Soviet Union Department of Defense, providing them with wrist watches, pocket watches and table clocks.
Unique clocks were also produced specifically for use in Soviet tanks, fighter aircraft, submarines and, eventually, spacecraft.
The factory stopped making consumer watches in October 2007 but carried on building aviation and technical clocks; pocket watch production resumed in 2015, and the company still operates in Chelyabinsk.
Besides the Molnija pocket watches, the factory also made the Ural wristwatch from 1956.
