Cardi Pobeda 2602 Radar Dial

A Cardi (Pobeda) Radar Dial watch with a ZiM 2602 movement is another watch from my collection to be catalogued on this blog.


Bought NOS (new old stock) and BNIB (brand new in box) in 2013. 

The watch itself is late 1990s - early 2000s.


With the name apparently being an abbreviation of Car Design, Cardi was a Russian manufacturing company in the 1990s - early 2000s that produced watches, among other things, first, using Russian movements and placing orders in Russian factories then using Chinese movements before disappearing by the year 2005 or thereabouts.



They were frequently adding some new styling touches.


This distinctive dial is one of my favorites. It is known as Radar, you can see some Radar related motifs easily, also several numerical scales, military-redundancy style.
 


This is not the first Radar-dialed watch on this blog. Earlier we had this Pobeda Radar Dial.


And more Radar-dialed watches are still to come. Stay on the radar.
