Circa 1940s.
Here is a Russian Kirovskie WW2 military watch in a military case with a porcelain dial that shows signs of flaking. The sub-second chapter is located at 9:00 and within the large 12 hour Arabic numerals is another set of numerals that make up the remaining 12 hours for military timekeeping. The case measures approximately 44mm wide x 58mm from lug end to lug end and is comprised of what appears to be base metal or stainless steel. The watch sets and winds smoothly and kept good even though the power reserve is limited to roughly 17 hours. The current power reserve isn't enough to run a full 24 hours. The mechanical movement has 15 jewels and is marked 2- with the serial number of 11604 and some other markings in Russian. The back case is engraved with a star, hammer & sickle, and 1941.
