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 ZIM Pobeda:

The Maslennikov Factory (ZIM, from Russian , ) was a defense enterprise in Samara that existed in 1911 2006. The factory produced elements of ammunition and civilian goods, the most famous of which were watches of the ZIM and Pobeda brands.

Even before the second world war, the factory was producing pocket watches under the ZIM brand. One of the most famous ZIM brands is the Pobeda wristwatch and (later) also ZIM Pobeda wristwatches. They were produced at the factory from 1950 to 2002.
