Ex-Collection Scarface3133: a Slava 2428 in this curious casing. I don't know what it is called and am at a loss to describe it. I don't even have an idea as to what it is supposed to represent... a ship's helm maybe? But the this type of case is an old one -- it was used by 2MWF from at least the late 1980s until 2010 -- the very end of what used to be known as Slava.
The dial is decorated with the flag and state emblem of Russia. And it also has a paint scheme which is not unlike that of the famous Okeah 3133 watch only sidewise and in different colors.

The watch has three hands: hours, minutes and central seconds, day and date calendar, a quick date change pusher at 2 o'clock.
The Slava 2428 movement is a remarkable windup movement as it contains two mainspring barrels -- an uncommon feature (especially in cheaper watches) -- which drive the minute wheel simultaneously. Together with the large Glucydur balance a good precision can be achieved.
This movement is also available with a selfwindig mechanism as Slava movement 2427 or without weekday as Slava 2414 movement.

I have one of these with an "ion black" case and the Red Star Perestroika dial with an S2427 movement. The dial may have been swapped as it doesn't look right, but I would like to know more about the case.
ReplyDeleteA common enough case for Slava watches in the late 1990s into the 2000s. I like it but know nothing about it either. Like what it is supposed to represent, etc.
