About Us

Soviet Time is an independent shop devoted to one thing: authentic vintage wristwatches from the USSR. Every piece is chosen by hand, checked, and serviced before it is offered here — no reproductions, no replicas, only original timepieces with real history on the wrist.

What we collect

We focus exclusively on mechanical watches produced by the great Soviet factories between the 1950s and the early 1990s. You will find the names that defined an era:

  • Vostok — Komandirskie and Amphibia, built for the military and for divers.
  • Raketa — Petrodvorets Watch Factory classics, including the "Star Wars" and World-Time models.
  • Poljot — First Moscow Watch Factory, home of refined dress and aviation pieces.
  • Slava, Pobeda, ZIM, Luch, Chaika — everyday Soviet engineering, from triple-calendars to ultra-thin dress watches.

Every watch, serviced and tested

A vintage movement is only worth owning if it runs. That is why each watch we sell is cleaned, lubricated, regulated and tested by a watchmaker before listing. We describe condition honestly — the patina, the small marks and the character that come with decades of life are part of what makes these watches genuine.

Where we are

Soviet Time is based in Ukraine and ships worldwide with full tracking. Behind the shop is a personal collection built on years of sourcing, careful selection and respect for Soviet horological craftsmanship. Looking for a specific model or caliber? Get in touch — we are happy to help you find it.
