I’m wearing my beloved Rodina automatic, the first automatic wristwatch out of the USSR with 22 jewels and a bolt on automatic works using a ratchet mechanism allowing the weight to spin in both directions while charging the mainspring.
It isn’t the best time keeper as is with many mid range watches of the 1950s but it has character with its odd crab style case and military style dial. Mine has a cracked crystal which will be repaired in the coming months.
Look forward to seeing what the community has.
I wear an automatic that wasn’t very expensive that I purchased back in college many years ago. It still holds up well, but don’t really want to say what it is because I wear it every day.
The Rodina looks amazing, though!
Edit: Now you’ve got me looking up soviet watches, they aren’t that pricy for some really cool ones!
A watch for the worker 🙂
