Another little something from my collection.
Meet a Pobeda ZiM 2602; this one is an anniversary piece celebrating the 2000 years of Christianity.
It has a nice cheery blue dial, says in Russian "2000 years of Christianity" and there is also on the dial the Grand Church of something or other, not being very religious I can't therefore tell with certainty though suspect it might be the Church of Christ the Savior in Moscow (maybe not).
It is NOS and spends all its time in a little plastic box. I don't wear it, it is just a collection piece.
I like the gold-toned hour markers and also the fancy hour and minute hands, the tiny second hand is also there at 6 o'clock.
I must confess it took me some time to figure out in what year exactly we celebrated (or just marked) the 2000 years of Christianity. At first I couldn't get it but then.... it hit me.... answer after the jump.
It was in the year 2000!
