Chaika: Brand Information
Updated 23 Nov 2008 by Editor, RussianWatchGuide.com

The Chaika (Chayka) Watch Factory, located on the banks of the Volga river just north of Moscow, specializes in ornate women's watches. The factory has been making watches for more than 60 years.

Chaika watches are typically gold-plated, often heavily jeweled, and use Miyota quartz movements. Most models retail for between $250 and $5000.

According to KremlinGifts.com, a distributor of Chaika watches in the USA, the factory "complies with International Watch Standards (ISO 9001-2000) for durability and outstanding design."
