Yes, I believe so. It states the make and model of the watch purchased, general operating information/instructions, and provides proof of purchase -- usually.

Check the serial number beneath the balance wheel and make sure that number corresponds to what is written on the passport. Otherwise, this is a document for another Luch 2009.

If it's yours, must be a good catch. ;-)

Not exactly New Old Stock but the paperwork, which was essentially a record of the item being sold, looks legit. I've never heard of any warranty statements being included in these "passports" as they are often called.

Please post a picture of the dial side, if you're able.

Dial Side as requested. Bought this watch yesterday. I did like the design and always was after one like that.

A classic design that was in use for quite a few years. The pentagon stamp on the movement means it could possibly be from the early '60s (can't make out the date on the passport) which would make it a rare one, in that condition.

Thanks for sharing.

Nice watch :-!

If I am not mistaken, the Passport is indeed also valid as certificate of warranty: on the other side (not shown on the photo) there should be the list of conditions.

On the far left side of your passport the paper seems to show sign of a tear: that's where the "Ticket n°1" was supposed to be.
If I understand it right it had to be taken away in case of a warranty repair, proving that your watch when new had undergone some kind of intervention.

Here are the pictures of a (presumably) complete certificate of mine, so you can compare:

Thanks for that insight, comrade.

I don't remember the subject of warranties for vintage soviet watches being discussed during my time on the forum so I made an assumption based on ignorance and a regrettable lack of Russian language skills.

I was browsing the forum to see if I can find the same watch that I have and found this post. I have the exact same one.

I was happy to read the comments that said this was a rare watch. What makes it rare? That it was made back in 1960 approximately, based on the engraving? Or that the one above has the original paperwork to go with it?

Also, could these get pretty valuable over time or are we talking many many years before that happens?

il num. seriale sul movimento e' 0124321 ... vorrei capire se si riesce a risalire al preciso anno di fabbricazione ... e se vuol dire che e' il 124.321simo prodotto

Vimpels were made from 1961 to 1963. This is the best you can get in terms of when it was done.

il numero di serie indica il numero di esemplare prodotto ?

No, not really. These movements were produced in big numbers and serial numbers were sometimes reused. Plus there is no records what number belongs to what year. But WHY do you need it? Vimpel was made only for a few years. What difference does it make if your watch was made in 1961, 62, or 63?
