Description

Pobeda mechanical wrist watch – 15 jewels

 

Legendary Soviet brand trademark Pobeda.

Based on a French design, the Pobeda’s simple, 15-jewel movement was cost-effective, reliable, and easy to manufacture and maintain. Full-scale production commenced at the First Moscow Watch Factory. Joseph Stalin chose the name Pobeda (Victory) to celebrate the end of the war.

 

Manufactured at the Maslennikov factory (ZiM), Samara, Russia

 

This example has a deep red sunburst dial with silver Arabic numerals, a fine minute track with dot markers, and a small-seconds subdial with a crosshair at 6 o’clock. It is signed ПОБЕДА at 12, with 15 КАМНЕЙ (15 jewels) above the 6 and СДЕЛАНО В РОССИИ (“Made in Russia”) along the lower edge. The hands are silver-tone. Inside is the hand-wound, 15-jewel ZiM calibre 2602, stamped 2602 on the balance cock.

 

The “Made in Russia” dial dates this watch to after the break-up of the USSR in 1991. The Maslennikov factory in Samara (formerly Kuibyshev) kept making the Pobeda on the 2602 into the 1990s.

 

The cushion-shaped case is chrome-plated, with a plain stainless steel snap-on case back.

 

Condition: the dial is bright and clean, with a few small specks visible close up. The front of the case presents well, while the plating is worn through to the base metal on the lug tips and around the back of the case, and the case back is lightly scratched. Everything is as shown in the photos.

 

The watch is mechanical and does not need batteries to operate.

 

Original Pobeda watch has mechanical lever movement and manual winding.

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
