70- Vostok Precision Class

This watch was produced by the Chistopol Watch Factory in the 1960ies. It mounts a 22J movement with central seconds and a larger balance designad for increase accuracy.
Chistopol mounted this caliber in watches branded Vostok, Wostok (for export in germany) and volna. The legend "precision class" on the dial (shown in russian in this watch) was included only on watches that passed a set of more stringent tests during assembly.

24- Vostok Precision

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.
