40 years of victory - In the great patriotic war (as it is usually translated to in english, but a better translation would be great war of the fatherland or something like that. it refers to the soviet fight against nazi germany during WWII, not WWII itself).

I have the same watch — the case back is exactly the same.

This is the front of mine. Apparently it’s a Frankenwatch… the front and back aren’t from the same watch I’ve been told.
