13- Volna

Caliber 2809A with 22 jewels. This movement is based on the zenith 135 caliber from whom the soviets acquired the technology for its production in the late 50ies. The 2809A is a precision movement with an oversize balance wheel and microregulator.
Notice the blued stars in the ratchet wheel. The movement is gold plated.
This watch has been probably re-cased.
