I saw this posting on a search for movement information....while this posting is over a year old, I still thought I'd reply.
I'm guessing you know this by now, buy your Zlatoust is a remake, the early one made for the tourist industry in the 1970's, it is not the real thing. The real Zlatoust are made of steel/alloy and not nickel plated brass, the brass was never used by the military or any branch of the soviet government. I own a later model Zlatoust, looks almost a 1/1 to the one here, but my movement has a much better finish and mine has a steel case, also has the correct band. The last model steel version is 270 grams, not 300 grams, the steel/alloy version weighs less than brass.
Good reference for Russian timepieces is
