UdSSR Molnija mechanische Taschenuhr – Großer Vaterländischer Krieg 1941–1945 – Sowjetische - Militärisches Zubehör

A striking mechanical pocket watch based on the famous Soviet Molnija watch tradition, presented in a highly decorative case dedicated to the memory of the Great Patriotic War of 1941–1945.

The watch combines classic Soviet mechanical watchmaking with powerful military and ideological symbolism. The outer cover is decorated with a large representation of the Order of the Patriotic War, featuring the red star, hammer and sickle, and the inscription “ОТЕЧЕСТВЕННАЯ ВОЙНА” (“Patriotic War”).

The reverse side carries an impressive embossed composition with Soviet star, hammer and sickle, laurel elements and the inscription:

“ВЕЛИКАЯ ОТЕЧЕСТВЕННАЯ 1941–1945”
“Great Patriotic War 1941–1945”

Opening the protective front cover reveals a richly decorated dial with Roman numerals, ornate hands and a separate small-seconds subdial. The name “Молния” (Molnija) is visible on the dial.

A particularly important advantage of this example is its mechanical condition: the watch has undergone a complete professional service by a qualified watchmaker and is fully operational. The movement has been checked, serviced and prepared for reliable use.

Molnija became one of the best-known names associated with Soviet mechanical pocket watches. Today these watches are increasingly sought after by collectors of Soviet horology, military memorabilia and Cold War-era objects.

This example is especially attractive because of its elaborate military commemorative case, combining two strong collecting themes: Soviet mechanical watches and USSR military history.

The watch is accompanied by a substantial metal chain with clasp, allowing it to be displayed or worn in the traditional pocket-watch manner.

The case remains in attractive vintage condition, with normal traces of age and use consistent with its character. The embossed decorations remain clear and visually impressive.

Most importantly, the watch is not offered merely as a decorative collectible: it has been fully serviced by a professional watchmaker and is in complete working condition.
