Description :

A striking vintage Molnija pocket watch from the Soviet era, featuring the Imperial Russian double-headed eagle in bold relief on the case. The eagle clutches a sword and scepter, with a central red shield and heraldic accents in blue, red, and orange—evoking the grandeur of pre-revolutionary Russia.

The reverse side showcases a dramatic engraving of a knight battling a dragon, likely referencing the legend of Saint George. Inside, the watch face is adorned with Roman numerals, floral engravings, and the Molnija brand mark, with “Made in Russia” inscribed below. Includes its original chain and is in working condition.

Measures approximately 2" in diameter. A captivating blend of Soviet craftsmanship and imperial iconography—ideal for horology enthusiasts and history collectors alike.
