I have only seen that on Russian watches...

The zero hour you mean? If so, I thought that, too, but there’s a small club. Hamilton, Universal Geneve, Avi-8. I’m sure there are others. The Big Zero is probably the most iconic, in my opinion.
No / Maybe. There are a lot of FrankenZeros out there. It’s a laborious hunt if you know what you’re looking for. But the hunt is probably 3/4 the fun of it. 😉
Oh very interesting, I didn't realize they had re-released this style. A few years ago, they actually released a new design based on the same theme of "Big Zero", but I personally wasn't a fan. Raketa Classic BIG ZERO Malevich 0273 – Ракета (World)
What you've shared looks cool and has more modern specs being bigger (40 vs 38) and having an automatic movement. But if you're really interested in a vintage model this was the article that sent me down the rabbit hole: So You Want to Buy A Raketa Big Zero... | Two Broke Watch Snobs
And if you want a Frankenwatch experience, just go searching on ebay!
No worries! Good luck on your search!
