ZIM 2602 USSR 1980s Men's Mechanical Wristwatch, 15 Jewels

Description ZIM 2602 USSR 1980s Men's Mechanical Wristwatch, 15 Jewels

ZIM 2602 mechanical wristwatch from the Kuibyshev Maslennikov Factory, made in the 1980s USSR. This men's watch is all original and has been serviced, with the movement fully dismantled, cleaned, lubricated and adjusted on 26.06.2026.

The Look

The white dial gives this ZIM a crisp, traditional Soviet dress-watch character, sharpened by black Roman numerals and slim blackened hands. The dial carries the ZIM logo and the text “Сделано в СССР”, placing the watch clearly in its Soviet production context. A black small seconds hand sits in the lower sub-dial, adding visual balance and a quietly mechanical feel. The acrylic crystal suits the period and gives the dial that softer vintage warmth collectors often prefer over modern glass.

Inside the Case

Inside is the hand-wound ZIM caliber 2602, a straightforward Soviet mechanical movement with small seconds. It is a practical, collectible movement from the Kuibyshev Maslennikov Factory and has recently received a full service.

Condition and Service

The chrome-plated tonneau case shows small traces of age, including scratches and light wear, consistent with a vintage Soviet wristwatch from the 1980s. The snap caseback is in good condition and carries the engraved number 435772.

The white dial has minor signs of time and a small chip near the seconds hand. The watch remains all original. Service work dated 26.06.2026 included complete disassembly, cleaning, ultrasonic washing, reassembly, lubrication and adjustment of timekeeping accuracy.

Why This One Is Interesting

This ZIM has a strong collector profile: the 2602 mechanical caliber, 15-jewel layout, small seconds, white Roman-numeral dial and clear “Сделано в СССР” dial text all sit together in a compact 34 mm tonneau case. The serviced status is especially appealing for a vintage Soviet watch intended for regular enjoyment rather than display only.
