The mechanical watch with automatic movement ensures fast and accurate time determination in severe climatic and operating conditions, during routine and combat operations.
"If a soldier is exposed to electromagnetic emission of a nuclear bomb the watch will continue to operate without any interruption", said Faustov.
Soldiers can easily determine time in any light environment or under blackout conditions. The watch is securely fastened on the wrist and does not hinder any manoeuvres or acts.
