In 1957, the Chistopol Watch Factory began production of the high-precision K-28 watch under the Vostok brand. This model featured a small seconds hand and a non-shock-protected balance, and was powered by caliber 2802. The movement was based on the Zenith 135 caliber, which had a distinctive lateral minute-pinion construction not found in any other movement.
