Sekonda Molniya pocket watch 01


Mercian

A picture to show my 1980s(?) Sekonda mechanical pocket watch.
 

Sekonda is a British brand, but during the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s it imported these watches from the USSR.
They were made in Chelyabinsk, in a factory whose products were branded ‘Molniya’ (‘lightning’) for the domestic market.
 

The movement of this watch (the ‘Molniya 3602’) is an improved version of a 15-jewel Swiss movement from the 1940s (the Cortébert 616) that was used in e.g. Rolex watches.
 

The case of the watch is chrome-plated brass, although I think that the rear cover may actually be ‘nickel silver’.
