Russian movements were often introduced with a pretty name such as Molnija = lightning. Later, the movements were given numerical codes, which are often misunderstood as caliber designations. In fact, the first pair of digits indicates the diameter in millimeters (here 36mm), the second the most important characteristics, e.g. 02 (here) for hand-wound with small seconds and without shock protection, or 03 for the same with shock protection.

St. George is one of the fourteen patron saints. He is the patron saint of various countries, noble families, cities, knightly orders and scouts. The first name George is one of the most popular first names in Europe. Its symbol in heraldry is the cross of St. George. The red cross on a white background is included in many coats of arms and flags. Attributes of the saint which, in addition to the St. George's cross, serve as a symbol of recognition are the dragon and his depiction as a knight with a lance; George is also sometimes depicted with the palm frond of martyrdom (source: Wikipedia).
