at the back it says that it can hold 50 meters of pressure and that it is equipped with a sapphire crystal.

It looks like a good watch. All that is left is to examine it thoroughly and decide what to do

Russian watches are considered bargains and this one is no exception. Made from dies of swiss watch movements, they are almost as good as the original, usually at a fraction of their price. (Personal observation has told me that they don't keep time quite as well.)

If you like it, go for it.
