Condition:
The watch is in fully working order and runs well (on the move). Please note that this is an authentic mechanical military/diver timepiece 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 minor adjustment by a watchmaker in the future to maintain its accurate timekeeping and ensure long-term operation.
Cosmetic condition is vintage and honestly aged, exactly as shown in the pictures. The case has natural wear and brassing to the chrome plating (mostly visible on the back corners and around the bezel), the crown has a nice golden hue, and the acrylic crystal shows light scratches consistent with its history. Vintage spring bars are included. Please examine the detailed photos of the dial, bezel, and case closely before purchasing.
