A Soviet Чайка ladies' watch with a painted enamel bracelet — two tapered rectangular links flanking the oval case, each depicting loose floral sprays in red, orange, blue, and green on white ground. The oval gold-tone case carries a white dial with no numerals: a red dot-and-vine garland border, gold hands. The remaining bracelet is plain gold-tone chain. Made at the Uglich Watch Factory, 1970s–80s.
The dial format — unmarked except for the decorative vine border — was a deliberate design choice, not an economy measure. Chaika produced several dial variants without numerals across its enamel bracelet range, positioning the watch as jewelry first, timepiece second. The painted links follow the same logic: small scenes of flowers that have nothing to do with telling time.
Good vintage condition. Enamel links intact with clear painted detail and no visible crazing. Case shows light wear. Dial clean with garland border legible. Recently serviced, running.
