ABOUT THIS WATCH:
I just love these old mechanical Russian watches. They always run like a champ and their designs are down right charming. This one from the famed Petrodvorets watch factory is no exception with it's quaint military / pilot feel about it. The dial extremely legible and the small seconds register is stepped down giving it a lovely depth.
