Vintage ZIM Soviet Watch Cal. 2602 with Striped Dial – USSR 1980s

Vintage ZIM Soviet Wristwatch – Striped Brown Dial, Cal. 2602, USSR 1980s

This authentic vintage ZIM mechanical wristwatch was produced in the USSR during the 1980s by the Maslennikov Watch Factory. It features a distinctive and visually striking dial design that gives the watch a unique character.

The dial has a warm brown tone with horizontal dark stripes and a fine speckled texture across the surface, creating a dynamic, almost shimmering visual effect depending on the light. Large white Arabic numerals contrast sharply against the background, ensuring excellent readability. A small seconds subdial is positioned at 6 o’clock, completing the classic and balanced layout.

The chrome-plated case shows visible signs of wear consistent with age, adding to its authentic vintage appeal. The acrylic crystal has light scratches typical for a watch of this era.
