Vostok precision, 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.
Usually watches with this caliber have four blued stars in the ratchet wheel. This is the only case I saw with the caliber inscribed instead of the stars.

Original name in Cyrillic: ВОСТОК
