Slava 2428 from 2012

Bought this one in early 2012 -- a Slava 2428 manual wind movement (no auto).

This watch is manual wind, has a central seconds hand, a day and date calendar, a quick date change pusher at 2 o'clock... and is in a pseudo-sports like case, meant to look heavy duty capable (but only look mind you  - style over substance) same as this one -- Slava 2427 Automatic.

Slava's 2428 manual wind movement... supposed to be more reliable than its related automatic 2427 movement, especially as regards calendar operation.

Back.

The case-back is off to look at the movement.

Nice looking compact movement with twin barrels.

Watch of the Day: Komandirskie 2414A

My watch of the day (WOTD) on September 13, 2014, Saturday, was this Komandirskie 2414A watch.

This one is a Komandirskie 2414A manual wind watch, a current version, and is in fact my latest acquisition. 

 

Note the crown at between 1 and 2 o'clock and the star-shaped case.

And on a bicycle.

Another Pobeda ZiM 2602 from my already extensive collection.

This one has a minimalistic dial design and is still a "Made in USSR".
