In very good condition mechanically: over the first seven hours of our test the watch showed only -2 minutes but it stopped after running for 15 hours. Hopefully, a visit to a professional watch repairman can resolve this issue via cleaning and movement adjustment.
The Chaika Uglich Watch Factory, located in the ancient city of Uglich in central Russia, about 250 km (155 mi.) north of Moscow, began in the late 1940s as a facility making jewels for timepieces, using corundum and artificially grown rubies. In 1950, a watch assembly line was set up for assembly of the Zvezda ("Star") watches from the parts supplied by the Penza Watch Factory. In the 1960s, both men's Zvezda and women's Volga watches were rebranded as Chaika. The factory continues to function, producing almost 1,200 models of men's and women's wristwatches.
