Description
Pobeda Zodiac Signs vintage mechanical wristwatch
A striking Soviet-era “Pobeda” wristwatch featuring a unique zodiac-themed dial, with each month of the year matched to its corresponding astrological sign. Produced by the Maslennikov Watch Factory (“ZIM”), Russia, home of the classic Pobeda movement line.
The dial reads “Made in Russia,” while the movement is still Soviet – indicating the watch was assembled during the early 1990s transition period, when new dials were already being used, but earlier Soviet-style movements and calibers were still installed. The watch is fitted with caliber 2602, a well-known and reliable mechanism widely used in Pobeda watches of this era.
The watch is fully mechanical and does not require batteries to operate.
It features a manual winding, lever movement, offering the authentic feel and craftsmanship of a genuine Soviet-made mechanical timepiece.

About the watch factory
Pobeda Brand History
The brand name Pobeda was chosen by Stalin himself in April 1945, he gave the order that the first watches be ready for the 1st year of Victory celebration.
The first prototype came out of the Penza factory by the end of 1945, and the first model for the public came out of the Kirov Watch Factory in March 1946.
Note:
In the Soviet Union, a product brand was not necessarily exclusive to a particular manufacturing site (this changed though in the 60’s when each factory got its own brands), and during its lifetime, production of Pobeda watches was shifted between the following plants:
• Penza Watch Factory (Пензенский Часовой Завод): for a few years from 1945
• First Moscow Watch Factory (Первый Московский Часовой Завод): 1946 to 1953
• Petrodvorets Watch Factory (Петродворцовый Часовой Завод): 1946 to nowadays
• Chistopol Watch Factory (Чистопольский часовой завод): 1949 to the c.1950
• Second Moscow Watch Factory (Второй московский часовой завод): 1953 to 1964
• Maslennikov Factory (Завод имени Масленникова): c.1951 to 2004
