Gents,

Recently uncovered this Russian brand after reviewing a vintage build thread elsewhere. Picked up two 70's era divers and one new. Very cool in person particularly the gold (or brass) one. These are all in-house Russian mechanical movements.

First up is the new version. The bracelet was absolute crap, so I tossed it on a spare 5 ring zulu I had lying around. The zulu is only 20 mm whereas the watch is 22 but I'm still digging the look.

Next two are vintage models picked up on eBay. Neither came with a strap so I picked up a couple Russian style leathers from Panatime. At 39mm each they are rather small (compared to today's standard at least), but rather nicely sized for a vintage piece as most rarely get much larger than 36mm. The lume is non-existent on any of these but the patina on these two is quite lovely.
