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.

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.

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.

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.
