Pobeta Watch Company (Russia) - Very Unique Soviet Union Symbol Hammer and Sickle Hands - New Old Stock Overall Condition (circa '80s)[RJE-MW-0073]
Here is a Men's vintage Soviet Union-Era 17 jewel manual wind watch with very distinctive hammer and sickle blood red metal hands! It measures 40mm lug to lug and 33mm across (35mm with crown).
The red enamel finished metal dial is in mint condition, complete with discrete hour marker dots at the 12, 3, 6 and 9 positions, blood red Sickle Hour hand and Hammer minute hand and sweeping gold center seconds hand. Signed in Cyrillic below the 12 o'clock position and also at the base of the dial. The original domed crystal is in excellent condition as is the gold finished case. The winding crown is gold finished and in excellent shape as well.
The back has a stainless steel lid and is stamped with reference number 838 and is in excellent condition like the rest of the watch. The movement is a 2609 HA Caliber Seventeen 17 Jewel lever escapement movement that runs very well and keeps accurate time. It is fitted on its original black leather strap with gold toned buckle. This old stock watch is about 20 years old, made at the height of the Cold War. The unusual aspect of this watch is that the actual hands are the old Soviet symbol of a Hammer and Sickle so this watch is fairly unique and pretty cool too!
