Model: Luch Perpetual Calendar Year: 2003 Module:
2350, quartz, 8 jewels, double-date with quick setting Note: the Luch watches are produced in Minsk
(Belarus). This one is strongly inspired to the Orient Multi-Calendar. The
second crown allows to calculate the day-date until the year 2023.
The movement is one of the few quartz movements designed in USSR (produced
till now). On the dial, "KBAPU" means "quartz". Nice watch, although it's
not mechanical. |

Model: Luch Electro-Mechanical Year: years '80s (?) Module: 3055, electro-mechanical/quartz, 18 jewels,
double-date with quick setting Note:
Unfortunately now this watch is broken, but i keep it here as reference. Designed as a mechanical watch, but there is an
electro-magnetic disk in place of the balance wheel; its high-speed
oscillation is regulated by a quartz circuit. The action of the seconds
hand is continuous, exactly as on a pure-mechanical watch. Acrylic glass,
screwed caseback. Very rare, probably produced in small
series. |

Model: Luch Perestrojka (1) Year: late '80s Module:
2356, 8 jewels, quartz Note: very simple and
cheap watch, but the dial is graphically interesting and pleasant. On the
dial there is the "Luch Quartz" inscription in Cyrillic. The original
movement was broken, and i replaced it with another module, totally
similar but made by Slava. Pressed caseback, acrylic
glass. |

Model: Luch Perestrojka (2) Year: late '80s Module:
2356, 8 jewels, quartz Note: another watch
dedicated to the Perestrojka, the short period of democracy in USSR.
Pressed caseback, acrylic glass. The case of this watch (and of the
previous one) is derived from a Poljot of the years
'60s. |

Model: Vostok compass + Luch 1801 watch Year: 1985 (compass) - early '90s (watch) Movement: Luch 1801, 17 jewels, hand-wound Note: i have made this combo in the 2004. I have
taken an old Luch woman's watch, i have trown away the bracelet, i have
painted the case in black and i have stitched the watch on a nylon strap.
Now this compass can be worn without renouncing to the watch :-) Diameter
of the compass 40 mm, diameter of the watch 25 mm (the movement is only 18
mm!). |
