Chaika ('Seagull' in Russian) make women's watches.

One style has enamelled panels on the band, and sometimes a hinged enamel panel over the watch face, each panel with a painting of flowers. Another style has ornate filigree designs. They also make watches with amber.

The enamelled watches are feminine in a particular way - a particular pretty way - that I personally am not so keen on. Some of the filigree designs are good, though.

I bought a Chaika pendant watch for a friend.
