Reply With QuoteLooks great!
Have you got one of these to wear? Perhaps for popping out to the shops when its raining?
In which case the original strap will be a boon
At 77mm including the Canteen! :)

I believe this particular Zlatoust dates to 1972 and has a type 3 case.
Always found these fascinating, plenty of history and mystery behind them too.
It should be with me in a week or so, not sure my 7inch wrist will be able to pull this one off but I will post a wrist shot anyhow. :)
The strap looks rather long, so I will be looking for an alternative. (I am a idiot so i will wear this out and about.)
Happy Easter everyone. :)

That looks a fascinating watch but I have to confess to knowing nothing at all about the brand. Some research is required. You are absolutely right to wear it out and about - enjoy !

nice original watch and strap, do you have the chain on the canteen cap?
I believe so.. :)Originally Posted by seadog1408

Unfortunately not.. But I have a duck down jacket, so maybe I could wear it on the outside cuff of that. :)Looks great!

Wowsers looks more like a small flask than a canteen! Bet that's going to be fun to wear, especially if you've had a nice 35mm dress watch in for a few days beforehand. Who said larger watches are a recent fashion?
Fashion watches were getting on the large side , I believe smaller watches are trending now though.
I did read somewhere that the Zlatoust is not classed as a watch.. A bit odd I know, but it was made in the clock division, the caliber K-43 movement inside is the same that would go into aviation clocks.
(My smallest watch is 42mm, but it's still going to get some getting used to, I'm sure of that.) :)
I don't normally quote with pictures but I just want to make sure you see this again Karl!!!Snap

Yeah, I see it Wayne.. Really looking forward to it too. ;)
Love those things.
Does it glow / emit radioactive particles?
Zlatoust by Noodlefish, on Flickr
The one I picked up is non radioactive, a little safer to wear :)
I believe only the early 60's versions had Radium on the hands and dials. (They stopped using it in the mid 60's.)
I'm guessing turning to Tritium?

Took my old Wempe B-uhr out for an airing once, talk about self conscious! You can always hang yours on the wall if not a practical wearer.
Well, when a watch enthusiast commits to purchasing a 70-odd mm watch, ld say hed already considered the possibility that it might look a bit daft on a bare wrist - especially when presented with photographic examples - so lm guessing said individual doesn't care.
Fair play l guess, if that's what blows your skirt - l certainly don't get a "look at me" vibe (from the OP).
Don't forget to refrain from cracking your knuckles, in fear of bones breaking! The crown protrudes a helluva lot.
I've seen that photo a number of times and your comment is really rather funny.
I'm looking forward to seeing this one landing.
Doesn't the crown rub on the back of your hand/ prevent you from extending your wrist?

A little late to the party, but that comment made me smile. Bravo.
I think You will have yo wear that on your right wrist so the canteen won't be digging at Your wrist everytime You extend.
Congrats! Looks like a fine example. When I wore mine at work it really generated many comments and chats and was actually funny to see the surprise on the faces. I wore it on my right arm due to the giant crown. However had to put off when drawing on the Cintiq screen to prevent scratches...(not on the watch of course 😊) Here is one more quich wrist shot just to scare...
This threads dying for someone to strap a grand father clock to there wrist stroke body,on a serious note I like a big watch but not that
I won't bother mentioning what I think of a few posters in this thread, but the watch is meant to be worn over a bulky dive suit in the 60's, it's not a daily wear on bare skin.

There are exceptions
A proper WIS watch contrats. Mine says hi.
Whoever does not know how to hit the nail on the head should be asked not to hit it at all.

lol... You're a braver man than me, that's for sure!
Wow. If i put that on i'd have enough space where the over hang would be on my wrist to stash two french baguettes.
Exactly.
Its too big for even his wrist.There are exceptions
Mine very accurate and the LUME!!!!!!
Does stick out a bit, but it has a place in my collection.
I keep meaning to have a holder built (maybe machined out of metal) so that I can use mine as a desk clock.
I've got the 'Tourist' version.
On one of Eddie's straps...

Funnily enough I have a piece of American black walnut put away for just such a project!!
Love to see what you come up with when you get around to it.
Well, it arrived today -
It's certainly a big one. :)
You're not wrong there! Still it's nice to see something a little out of the ordinary.
