As was reported earlier - elsewhere and on this blog too, the Raketa factory, Petrodvorets, Russia, decided to re-launch the old USSR's famous Pobeda watch.
Recently first photos appeared on watch forums (borrowed pics).
Pobeda Red Twelve, Pobeda Crimea (too soon?), Pobeda Victory Day.
Pobeda Crimea
The look: not as bad as it might have been. The question of the price remains as the original Pobeda was one of (if not the) the cheapest watches in the USSR and then Russia. And also the fact that there is no small seconds hand at 6 o'clock is almost... almost a fail which is only redeemed to a degree by the fact that there were original Pobedas with the central seconds hand using so-called tall movement. So its design is not entirely out of keeping with tradition... Unless, of course, these are going to be quartz watches -- that will certainly do it... The best one can hope for is that they are going to be using Raketa's 2609 movements (which are of the same size as Pobeda's 2602).
