Slava Era (Russ.: "ЭРА") is a line that leads back to the middle of the 20th century. When Sputnik 1 was launched as the first artificial satellite successfully into space, the era of space explorations began. This milestone was just a beginning for many other milestones and inventions in the Soviet Union. Almost any new technological masterpieces, from an electric razor to new cinematic techniques, were captured with this term. Zelenograd, not far from Moscow and better known as "Green City", became and is still the Russian equivalent of the American Silicon Valley. Of course many watches and clocks were further developed or invented during this time. A very popular table clock from the 1960s that could be found in many households is the Slava "Crystal".
The strictly limited Slava Era wrist watches are inspired by the previous table clock. A special feature can be seen at first sight: The refined 45° degree cut-edge of the glass which blends into a high bezel. For additional protection and to make it more scratch resistant the mineral crystal is plated with a sapphire coating. The built in Slava 2427 automatic movement is a true veteran among Russian movements. The manufacturer made every effort to buy up, maintain and check all of the movements that were produced in the 20th century and were part of previous inventories. Thus, all used 2427 movements are original and genuine Slava movements that serve as a new heart for these watches. A second pusher at 2h controls the quick date correction. All Era watches are 10 atm water-proof and the cases are made of 316L stainless steel.
Each watch comes with an original pre-mounted Slava leather strap in a beautiful gift box that is covered in genuine leather.
