Bought this on Ebay, vendor is Ukrainian.

Really classy. I love the no-nonsense look of Soviet dress watches from this period.

I'm not the greatest with deciphering Cyrillic letters, but doesn't that say Raketa, which I think has a somewhat better reputation anyway?

Textured dial and bezel!

Nice Raketa. (That bezel will be fun to clean, been there...)

You are of course correct, a few beers while looking at Pobeda watches...... 😂😂😂

Bought another Raketa, it came without a strap, tried a Nato. I think it looks better with this "beads of rice" bracelet. 😊
