Citizen 67-9356 "bullhead" chronograph from 1980. I have to say it's one of the best looking chronographs ever, for me at least. Love it and can't stop wearing it daily.
Great taste! But a Westclox pocket Dax! Really? What do I not know? I turf them when they come my way.
@Canuck ..... My Dad, who started life behind a single blade plow and a team of horses in Sask.and worked his way up to the top of the CNR after serving on both steam and diesel engines had a Westclox Dax watch for his first timepiece as a boy in the 30s. He then had a 992B, his railroad workhorse, a 30mm Omega, his "office" watch, and is now wearing some quartz thing from Columbia sportswear now that he's in his nineties and no longer gives a sack of fertilizer.... so full circle then. Given that... how could I not have a Dax??? A 30mm Omega and a 992B are there as well!
My late father, at age about 10 yrs. in 1910, bought his first watch for $1.00. Back then on the Canadian prairies, there was a bounty on gophers of one cent per tail. He trapped 100 gophers. The government discontinued the bounty when they found out that people would lop the tail off the live trapped gopher, then release it to breed again. I have an early 20th Century Ingersoll Yankee pocket watch which sold for $1.00, way back then. It Runs!

Thank you for that. Now that I think of it, if Omega is sold in Russia, the dial would likely read Omega in Arabic characters. I guess.
Well, yeah, and no. See, I am from eastern Europe, Estonia, exactly. Our big neighbour to the east is Russia. Back in the 40's the YCCP occupied Estonia. From the 40' to the 90' Estonia was behind a certain iron curtain - I am sure some of you know what that means. Estonia gained its independence again in 1991. It is VERY highly unlikely, that any Omegas could be sold in Russia during that era. Still, I am flattered that this Pobeda which belonged to my great great uncle looks good enough to be mistaken for an Omega
Not necessarily. A few years ago, I was in Moscow and St. Petersburg. It is quite funny for foreigners, how they transliterate names like MacDonald's (МакДоналдс) or Würth (Вюрт) into cyrillic. Omega in cyrillic: Омега
