CCCP 1972
The enormous rise in numbers of TV spectators towards the end of the 60s and beginning of the 70s was entailed by such shrewd and popularized shows as «Incredible but true», «The world of animals» or «The Travellers' Club». The series of documentaries on foreign countries «Journeys abroad» even found their way into the «Guinness Book of Records» as the oldest and most valuable TV production. This immense popularity was mostly due to the show's director and host, Dr. med. Juri Senkievich, who had participated in several expeditions himself.
The end of the sixties and the beginning of the seventies will be remembered as the first ownership of television sets by the average consumer in the USSR. It was probably the reason the design of the watches were so similar to TV sets. They even to be called «TV-watches». The see through glass back of the watch allows you to see the mechanical hand winding movement, a bit like a show. The size of this model is 36 x 36 mm.
