Slava Sadko Automatic 5006167/100-2427

General information

Slava Sadko (Russ.: "Садко") might be the most anticipated watch remake from the year 2020. Sadko is the name of a traditional Russian epic (Russ.: "Были́на"). Sadko, a trader and adventurer of the same name, used to play on a gusli instrument near shores of lakes and rivers. His musical skills delighted the "Tsar of the Sea" who would dance to the tunes, hence, roughening the seas. The Tsar offered Sadko a deal: he would play for the ruler now and then and receive wealth in return. Sadko agreed and became a highly regarded and rich man. But after a while Sadko did not pay proper respects to the Tsar and the Tsar decided to lock down the musician at the bottom of a sea. Only with the help of the patron of mariners, Saint Nicholas, Sadko managed to escape after all.
Just like the well-known epic the watch line was and still is very famous among the Russian (previously Soviet) population. The main eye-catcher of the remake is of course the case that has a massive bullhead design. In order to be considered a true diving watch (maybe even at the bottom of the ocean?) Slava included a helium valve and improved the waterproofing to withstand up to 50(!) atm. The automatic movement in place is a genuine Slava 2427 which comes from existing stock and was maintained in a good deal of work.
Each watch comes with an original pre-mounted Slava stainless steel bracelet in a beautiful gift box that is covered in genuine leather.
