Rare Vintage Pobeda Gilt Roman Numerals Dial, Soviet Watch from 1950's

This 1950s Pobeda is a wonderful reminder that even everyday Soviet watches occasionally broke their own rules.

Most vintage Pobeda models were produced with simple Arabic numerals, designed for clarity and mass production. This example, however, stands apart with its elegant Roman numerals — and not just printed, but executed in gilt. The warm golden tone of the numerals pairs beautifully with the matching gilt hands, creating a refined contrast against the light dial. It’s an uncommon configuration that gives this vintage Pobeda a more classical, almost European character.

For collectors of Soviet vintage watches, details like these matter. A Roman numeral Pobeda with gilt accents is far less common than its Arabic counterparts - making this piece an appealing and distinctive example from the 1950s.
