Soviet mechanical LUCH wrist watch, 23 jewels
MADE IN USSR!

This is a square, gold-plated, ultra-thin dress wristwatch “RAY” (LUCH), built around the slim 23-jewel calibre 2209.

Lovely vintage watch made by the “LUCH” factory in Minsk, USSR. The dial shades from olive-gold at the centre to deep brown at the edges, with a fine cross-hatched texture and silver lines radiating out towards the edge. Applied gold baton markers, gold hour and minute hands and a red seconds hand with a red centre cap; the cursive Луч signature sits above the centre, with “23 камня” below it and “Сделано в СССР” (Made in the USSR) at the bottom.

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