    The main theorem of the paper says that every three-dimensional convex body of constant width and constant brightness is a Euclidean ball. This improves the result of \textit{S. Nakajima} [Jber. D.M.V. 35, 298--300 (1926; JFM 52.0772.04)] who proved this fact under additional assumption that the body is of class \(C^ 2\). The author also generalizes his main theorem in a similar way like \textit{G. D. Chakerian} [Trans. Am. Math. Soc. 129, 26--37 (1967; Zbl 0161.41606)] who generalized the result of Nakajima for three-dimensional normed space with unit ball of boundary of class \(C^ 2\) having everywhere positive curvature.
