Good morning Everyone,

I noticed this pictogram in the latest User manual

https://www.omegawatches.com/media/pdf/user-manuals/OMEGA_User_Manual_EN.pdf

..but never saw a watch custom made for the Russian market.

Anyone knows what is it all about? 😕

PCT (Russian Standard, - ed.) - founded by Gosstandart (now Rosstandart, - ed.) After the collapse of the USSR, the product labeling mark signifying its compliance with the requirements of the GOST R certification system. Replaced the Soviet quality mark with a stylized five-pointed star depicted on it

This is done so that you can track how the watch was imported into Russia. Officially or not. The RST mark is placed on goods only officially supplied to Russia. For example, Apple phones that are officially sold in Russia have a 2-year warranty. If there is no RST Mark, then only one year warranty from Apple.

Excellent, thanks @aleksejeremeev 👍
Do you by any instance know what is a country code for Russia?

ISO 3166-2: RU is an International Organization for Standardization standard that defines geocodes.
Tel code +7

What code are we talking about
