I prefer my watches not to have rust and a crappy paint job

Hard to believe something that nice is made so close to Monroe.

What is so special about this watch?

I don't know, but it's a nice looking watch and I'd wear it.

The ones in the OP are very nice examples of an "important" vintage watch, think of it as a nice vintage car. The particular watch has a connection to Jacques-Yves Cousteau and is part of the direct lineage of the very first iterations of the modern dive watch which is probably the most copied design language of any watch type. The ones in the OP have gorgeous patina and like vintage cars in as found condition where use but not abuse is visible, they are considered desirable. They are also built by one of the high-end watch companies (a step above Rolex).
To a watch nut, they are cool vintage pieces that represent an important part of watch history.

Ever notice that all the advertisements for watches have the hands at 10 and 2?

Russian U-boat Commander's Watch
As for Russian watches I really like the vintage Vostock Radio Room watches.
Radio room watches have an interesting history kicked off by the sinking of the Titanic and the Radio Room Act of 1912. Link below is a history of the Soviet radio room watches.

I assume you know why. It is a position of the hands that normally does not interfere with the view of the branding nor does it obscure complications on most watches like date windows, power reserve indicators, subdials, and etc.
Psychologically it also gives the watch a "happy face".
If you notice the Vostock I posted above the seller chose ~9:10 instead of 10:10 since 10:10 would have covered part of the branding on that particular watch.

I don’t know it’s just visually appealing
