Sekonda Manual Wind - White Dial (1970s)

Description: Sekonda manual wind dress watch from the 1970s-1980s, a quintessential Soviet-era timepiece. Sekonda, established in 1966, was the British brand that rebranded incomplete watches from prominent Soviet factories like Poljot, Raketa & Luch, creating affordable, reliable dress watches. Clean white dial with stylized Arabic numeral hour markers, simple outer minute track. Gold-plated round case with slim, elegant lugs, approximately 34mm. Original gold & silver-tone expansion/stretch bracelet. Acrylic crystal. 17-jewel manual-wind movement, Soviet-made workhorse.

Story of This Watch: Sekonda proved that Soviet engineering didn't need Soviet aesthetics to matter. When Britain's watch industry declined, Sekonda sourced from the factories that built watches for cosmonauts & soldiers. The result? Reliable, affordable dress watches that actually lasted. This isn't pretending to be luxury, it's honest watchmaking from an era when the Cold War produced some of the most dependable mechanical movements ever built.
