...And so do I. Although his is from the late 1980s while mine is recent -- 2012.
In case someone is wondering the tank (although very stylized) is likely to be a T-62 type tank, distinguishable mainly by where the fume extractor is on the barrel.
If you don't believe me, I invite you to consult this guide (filter all political and propaganda stuff though).
This watch is an auto Komandirskie -- it is intermediate between the Vostok Amphibia(n) proper and the Komandirskie proper.
It differs from the Amphibia in that the case is chrome-plated brass and not stainless steel. From the regular Komandirskie it differs in that it has a self-winding Vostok 2416B movement like the Amphibia does.
It is running at + 20 seconds per 24 hours but is consistent, and the chrome plating is not what it used to be -- it wears off quickly at points of contact.
Still rate it as a good watch overall.
But it does have a stainless steal back featuring the Russian crest.
Funny - this is what St. George looks like zoomed in.

Just got mine a few weeks ago. It lasted less than 24 hrs. I wound it up, and it worked the first evening. Next morning, the watch jingled like there was loose coins inside the watch. Not much I could/can do about this type of defect. Back to Meranom, who knows if they will ever get it. I no longer trust them.
