Step back in time with this unique piece of Soviet watchmaking. Kama watches were produced starting in 1952 in the Christopol Watch Factory in Tatarstan, Russian, which is the same factory that produced the world-renowned Vostok watch brand.
This watch features a hand-winding 17-jewel movement, and a unique textured dial with brass numerals. The back of the case is stamped "Kama" and includes Cryllic writing along the outside of the caseback which translates to "Dust and Moisture Proof" as well as "Shock Resistant."
Note: This watch is no longer water-resistant despite it being indicated on the case back.
