The Chaika watch was manufactured by the First Moscow Watch Factory, also known as the Poljot factory, which was one of the most prominent watchmakers in the Soviet Union. Production of the Chaika watch began in the 1960s and continued into the 1980s. Chaika watches were known for their simple yet robust designs and reliable mechanical movements. They were often issued as official gifts to Soviet dignitaries, military personnel, and athletes, and they were also available for purchase by the general public.

For vintage watches, a movement error of approximately 5 minutes per day is allowed. This difference is due to the fact that in a mechanically wound watch, the parts are subject to wear and tear, which affects the accuracy of the movement. Owners of vintage watches usually accept such an error, as the historical and aesthetic value of the watch is more important to them than absolute accuracy. Vintage Soviet watches are highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts due to their historical significance and unique designs. Collecting vintage Soviet watches can be a fascinating hobby, allowing you to own a piece of history while appreciating the craftsmanship and design of these timepieces.
