Vintage Soviet-Style Mechanical Watch – Red Dial with Hammer & Sickle – Cold War Era

This vintage wristwatch features a bold red dial with a hammer and sickle motif, crossed tools, and a star at the 12 o’clock position — unmistakable Cold War–era Soviet symbolism.

Housed in a silver-tone round case and paired with a black textured leather strap, this watch was likely produced as a commemorative or export souvenir during the final decades of the USSR. These watches were popular among travelers, collectors, and as symbolic memorabilia rather than official military issue.

A striking conversation piece and a collectible slice of late-20th-century history.
