I've never seen this watch before, but: real and ordered by KMZ (the same symbol has been used for other commemorative things, and see also a date of manufacture: 27.01.1992 -- corresponds).

May be everything..., but not a paper documents. A documents easier to "lose" than to forge.

In the papers there are no references about KMZ!
some time ago I Knew a Watch repairer in Rio de Janeiro that made watch faces for repairing old watches He did any face you want and put any name you request.... Why not in Russia?

I bought the first one (50 years KMZ). I have received it and it is very nice and obviously authentic. Never used and in the original "Zaria" plastic watch box.

Hi Luiz,
Thanks very much! I have been very busy with having adopted my grandson and work, and so sorry not to participate in the forum. I hope I have a bit more time now.
Soon I will take some photos of the watch and make a wiki entry. Nice to meet with you again Luiz!
Bill

Regards, Bill

Really delighted you are back!
We have missed you during all that time...

Does this watch give the right hour? [:)] I suppose it was not made by KMZ, even if there are their symbols ?...

Amitiés. Jacques.

Hi Jacques,
Very nice to be back and hear from you too! And, Hi Vlad!
Yes the watch works well and seems to keep good time. It was made by a Russian watch factory (Pensa Zavod ?) and the brand is named "ZARIA". That is what the box says and I believe the the passport too. I like it very much, but it does not look like a very expensive watch.


Regards, Bill
