I can’t believe it! This is a dope watch @Fiatjeepdriver. I look forward to using it as the answer to the question “WRUW”? 🏆

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 / 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. 😉

the watch is probably only ~35 years old, but I wonder how close to original that colour is
