A watch with strange markings you don’t understand? I’m totally here for it.
The brand is Slava, which was originally a Soviet civilian brand. Your watch was made in Russia, after the end of the Soviet Union (it is printed at the bottom).
Slava did not do well in the 1990's and many watches were made in China with Slava movements. The trade name has been bought and they are now made again in Russia where the old Chaika watches were made.
Took a little digging but there you go. Interesting! Anything on the caseback?
