Design Context
Pobeda Watches Form An Important Part Of Post-War Soviet Watchmaking. The Pobeda Name Was
Introduced In The Soviet Period And Used Across Watches Produced By Multiple State Factories.
This Example Is Particularly Distinctive For Its Purple Sunburst Dial, Oversized Stylised Arabic
Numerals And Traditional Subsidiary-Seconds Configuration, Combining Classic Soviet Mechanical
Construction With A Considerably More Colourful Dial Treatment Than Typically Encountered.

I Would Not Publish This One Yet Without Identifying The Movement And Checking The Dial. The
Purple Sunburst Dial Is Unusually Vivid For A Pobeda And Could Potentially Be A Refinished/Redialled Or
Later Assembled Watch. That Materially Affects Both The Description And Value.
