Condition:
The watch is in fully working order and runs well (on the move). Please note that this is an authentic vintage mechanical timekeeper from the Soviet era. While it is currently operational, as with all vintage movements, it is sold as-is and may require professional cleaning, oiling, or adjustment in the future to maintain its accurate timekeeping and ensure long-term reliability.
Cosmetic condition is vintage, exactly as shown in the photos. There are normal signs of age and honest wear on the case plating (loss of chrome/gilding on the edges and corners) and light scratches on the acrylic crystal consistent with its history. Vintage spring bars are included. Please examine all detailed photos of the dial, case, and 2609.NP movement closely before bidding.
