Russian digitals - mostly LCD some LED

[RaWatch]

I just wandered across a website on Leningrad that I thought some others might not have seen and might be interested.

It has section on early Russian digital watches.

The Elektronika LED's are very nice watches, they are well made and have 24hr modules with an interesting day of the week instead of the usual MO TU etc they have numbers 1-7 for each day.

Everyone should have one of these in their collections...

Hi Klippie

I've seen one or two of these on the auction site and they look cool (IMHO) - but what are the modules like for build, reliability ?

Cheers

My two have run perfect since I bought them a couple of years ago they've never been touched apart from battery changes.

The Russians can certainly build a good quality LED watch...

Great found,that watch is definitely the most classic version of the Elektronika-1, especially with that bracelet. And how cool to have a LED watch with 24 hour display. I am thinking to buy such one if will get in good condition.
