Invicta The Original Russian Diver Model 2625
Posted by wristwatch on November 1, 2007
If you’re a fan of big chunky watches, then this is the watch for you. It sports a black dian and black hour and minute hands. A few Russian words are on the dial, I have no idea what they mean. It has bold Arabic numerals which are easily readable. Its only water resistant up to a hundred meters, so I don’t suggest you take it diving with you. Not to mention that you’ll ruin the leather strap.
* Movement: Untitas skeleonized mechanical: engraved and finished with blue gold platinum and stainless steel tones
* Case and dial: 52mm
* Solid stainless steel case special screw in crown with protective cap
* Antique dial design: replica of original 1959 Russian diver
* Band: Genuine crocodile leather
* Water resistant: 100 meters

its looks like error because first letter in these words bust be “B.. CCCP”.
“BM. CCCP” – mean like “United States Navy” but for Soviet Union Navy.

HAY PAUL AND WRISTWATCH..this vodolaz watch is not an modern version.vodolaz (aka..zlatoust) was a russian navy diversant watch made for russian navy.in 50’s to 70’s
they were 3 inch in diameter(including crown 76mm)first 100 watches were made from switzerland.few earlier watches used american type 1 movement.whole machinery was shipped to russia from america.they stopped making vodolaz 32 years ago,now a days you see replicas.so to pay homage to zlatoust watches invicta makes them same design.(but smaller size at 52mm diameter) hope this information helps you.cheers.

Well. “Vodolaz” – model name, may be brand, but not a factory name.
Its “Zlatousovsky Watch Factoy”. This model is only one. Other products – special machinery.
Clockwork (movement) made by Poljot.

Russian watches have thier own distinct design. I’ve been reading up on some of them, its pretty interesting. I’ll be adding a few Russian watches to this site in the next few days. Any info towards which brands are popular would be greatly appreciated.
