I always love how reactionaries point to in this photo the one ussr officer has two watches, because he obviously stole them off a german troop (who were good and heavenly little angel babies following orders).

One is a clock and the other is a wrist mounted compass he was issued IIRC

We don't know for sure but it was likely a wrist mounted compass which were popular in the Red Army.
