Schwarzenegger 192 ChS

According to this Russian article [in Russian], Arnold Schwarzenegger may have been wearing a Soviet Military Zlatoust Diver 192 ChS (or 191-ChS, to be exact) wristwatch.





And also in this knife wielding (and budget cutting) video...



It has to be said though that there is a difference of opinion. One school of thought is that they are several watches, at least some of which are Russian Diver series Invictas... Still the concept and idea for [the relaunched] Invicta's Russian Divers were borrowed from the Zlatoust Diver in the first place.

To my untrained eye, those on a strap with metal things like rivets look more like Zlatoust, while the thing in the video could be an Invicta Russian Diver 2625 model, ditto on the 2008 Esquire cover below.



Zlatoust Factory's current re-issue of the famed diver - 192 ChS.
