East German Ruhla Eurochron
Unworn example with original strap, box, manual, and warranty paperwork. I bought it on EBay from a seller in Poland.

Wow, very interesting, and looks cool too!
Yeah, that thing rocked the Uhren- und Maschinenkombinat! 😀
Man, what a find! Unknown brand to me! 😎
Very nice congrats! How much did you need to invest?

It was $63 plus shipping, which wasn’t that much extra.
Nice looking watch
Very cool Cold War relic! 👍
Oh Lord. I just am so envious, my friend!

They are hard to find in decent shape, but they aren’t very expensive.
It's beautiful. Good find! 👍
I used to own a watch made in Ruhla. (Still do, but I disowned it because it became sort of kind of broken.) From what I can tell, Ruhla is (probably was at this point, I haven't seen anything come out of there recently) another great German watchmaking hub overshadowed by Glashütte.
Oh, and I love vintage LCD watches. I came so close to pulling the trigger on a Junghans the other day.
Very good buy. Wear it well!

Thank you, I will indeed wear it well! According to my limited research, Ruhla didn’t survive long after East Germany ceased to exist. That’s probably why a lot of people have never heard about the brand, even in Germany.
Outstanding find! These (Early digital) get way too little love in the watch community.
