This little watch is born the fourth quarter of year 1952, in the Chistopol Watch Factory (USSR, now Bielorussia).

The Pobeda "Red 12" was produced to celebrate the victory in the Great Patriotic War.

 

"Pobeda (Russian: Победа, Victory) is a Russian brand of wrist- and pocket watches. Based on a French LIP design, the Pobeda's simple, 15-jewel movement was cost-effective, reliable, and easy to manufacture and maintain. Watch produced from 1946."
