Luch: Brand Information
Updated 30 Apr 2009 by Editor, RussianWatchGuide.com

luch Luch is a brand of watches manufactured at the Minsk Watch Plant. They make inexpensive mechanical and quartz watches for men, women and kids. Most of their watches are made for the domestic market.

Outside Russia Luch watches are available at eBay and at stores specializing in Russian products, souvenirs and novelties.

Brand new Luch watches sell for as little as $20.

Despite the company's claim of "elegance, refined adornment, and modern design wich corresponds to world standard", the designs are not in keeping with modern trends. Men's watches are often small, thin and plain. Many watches in the collection look years out of date. In fact, some people buy Luch watches, such as the Luch Perpetual Calendar, strictly for their retro appeal.

About Minsk Watch Plant

Minsk Watch Plant (MWP) produced its first watches more than a half-century ago in 1956. Nowadays Minsk Watch Plant is a modern automated enterprise that employs more than one thousand people. According to the company website, the plant meets the ISO 9001 international standard for quality control.

Where to Buy Luch Watches

The best place to buy a Luch watch is on eBay. An eBay store called Gabriella's Gifts, operated by the GSZ Corporation, has a particularly good selection and positive reputation. It's based in the USA.

Official Website

The official site for Luch is http://luch.by

Additionally, you can find more detailed information about the company and its business at http://www.belarus.net/mwp/index.htm

I have a oval gold Luch ladies watch with beautiful semi precious stones in the strap. Someone gave it to me and I think it is the most beautiful watch I have ever seen because of its old fashioned look. This watch have the number 341 stamped on the back. Presently it is losing time and I need for it to be serviced

I had a Luch 23858 watch and it was stolen by a baggage handler on a recent trip. Can anyone tell me where I can find another like it? Am open to talking to someone if you have good info. 920-490-9944. GO PACK GO

I'm with you Rarly in that I like my watches the same way, "small, thin and plain". It's precisely WHY I just bought one.

That's funny, because "small, thin and plain" is just how I like my watches.

My brother got me two Luzh quartz watches in 1990 when he came from Voronezh, Russia. Amazingly, they lasted at 10 years without a battery change. I used to wear them in New Delhi, India, in the extreme heat and extreme cold. I had a motorcycle and wore my watches in the rainy season without a problem. Amazing watches. They looked so good that people used to ask me if they were Swiss. I used to proudly say I got them from Russia. I have no idea where those watches are now. Perhaps I got tired of wearing them but later this year I plan to go through the store room to find them.

Can anyone tell me if they are water resistant? If I wear it washing dishes or swimming in the pool, will it still work? Thanks!

I got a LUCH watch from my mom and it's amazingly pretty, and - never stops working because it doesn't need batteries.
