Own something really unique!

This beautiful Russian Pobeda Gents watch is in excellent condition, despite being about 40 years old. The winding mechanism works as it should and the watch runs smoothly.

Russian watches have become sought-after due to their uniqueness and build quality. There is just something about the Russian's ability to manufacture mechanical items which last forever - here the T34 Tank, AK47, Fed and Kiev cameras, Sikorsky Helicopters, MIG-27 Fighter Planes, Antonov Cargo Planes and Sukhoi Aerobatics Planes come to mind.


The history of Pobeda:

    Pobeda (Russian: Victory) is a Russian brand of wrist-watches owned by the Petrodvorets Watch Factory "Raketa". The brand name was chosen by Stalin himself in April 1945, when he gave the order that the first watches be ready for the 1st year of Victory celebration. The first prototype came out of the Penza factory by the end of 1945, and the first model for the public came out of the Kirov Watch Factory in March 1946.

    Based on a French design, the Pobeda's simple, 15-jewel movement was cost-effective, reliable, and easy to manufacture and maintain. Prior to World War II, during a period of rapid industrialization in the Soviet Union, the Soviet government sought international funding and expertise in developing a domestic industry for timepieces. Eventually the French watch manufacturer LIP was chosen; they established a new watch factory in Penza and licensed several movement designs to the new establishment. One design dating from 1908, the R-26 movement, was further developed and renamed the K-26, with significant alterations to the original design. World War II temporarily disrupted these plans, but after the Allied victory, this watch design was quickly finished at Penza, and full-scale production commenced at the First Moscow Watch Factory.
