Hi all,

I recently bought (on eBay) a copy of "Soviet Wrist Watches" produced by "Soyuzchasprom". It's about 130 pages, and covers Poljot, Raketa, Slava, Vostok, Zaria, Luch and Chaika watches. I'm guessing that it's from the late 70s, but would appreciate any more accurate opinions of its date.

The catalogue alone can be downloaded from here. I've also added it to my mega-compilation of Raketa (and related) catalogues here; the article relating to this is here

As always, if anyone has *any* catalogues or promotional material that covers Petrodvoretz watches (Raketa etc), I'd be very interested to hear from them!

Cheers,
Paul

Many thanks, Paul. |>

But I think it's post 1983. Approximately when 3133 chronos were available to civilians.

Thanks, [nht]. Anyone else able to narrow the date?

Many thanks for sharing this catalogue, Paul! In my opinion it dates back to the early 1980s.

Thanks for sharing, phd!

It looks as though the conversion from sans Serif to Serif font on the Poljots is pretty much complete so my guess would be 1981-83.

I have never seen the chronograph with the stainless case before.

Thanks to all for their date suggestions - I'll go with 1983, based on all comments.

Cheers,
Paul

http://german242.com/books/ussr_catalogue_1960.pdf 1960y B/W catalogue

Âûñòàâêà "Ðîññèéñêèå ÷àñû - 240 ëåò èñòîðèè", ôîòî-êàòàëîã Russian watcher review 1700's...

I hope - this info help to know more about soviet watches. Don't buy "custom dial watches", authentic watches for authentic money )
