I quite like the new plain bezel
Russian watches were designed to be maintained in the field by an agricultural worker using nothing but a hammer, a sickle, and some tractor grease... (phd)

I'm not sure if this is real or not, but it just doesn't seem plausible to me. From the seller's description:
This is a beautiful example of a Pre-owned Vintage Breitling Co-Pilot ref 7651 Chrono-matic Self-winding Water-resistant Wrist Watch. What sets this one apart from all the others is that it was re-badged ПОЛЕТ by Breitling in late 1968 and awarded to the Russian Air Force before the watch was released to the general public in 1969.

^ Who is the seller? And I don't see a reason why would Breit rebrand their watch.
