Sekonda pocket watch

Sekonda was a Russian make, then acquired by the British after the dissolution of the Soviet Union, now (I believe) made in Hong Kong. Mine says "USSR" on the bottom of the face, so I assume this is probably from the 1970s or 1980s.

Size 16, 18 jewels (per the face), pendant wind and set. What looks like a nickel case with a raised railroad locomotive on the back. Etsy had one that looks just like it, though mine doesn't have a name enscribed.

Nice watch but I think it lacks a certain character that many of the genuine antiques do (especially since I prefer roman numerals on my timepieces).

Acquired: 2019

Circa: 1970s?

Current condition: runs fine
