It would be great find for any collector or vintage jewelry lover
Up for sale is a genuinely beautiful, elegant, and highly collectible piece of Soviet horological jewelry – the legendary Slava mechanical manual-wind lady's pendant watch. This iconic timepiece was produced in the late 1970s / 1980s by the 2nd Moscow Watch Factory. This is a desirable export version, featuring original English inscriptions on the dial.
The watch features a stunning drop-shaped gold-plated case with textured ornamental detailing that seamlessly flows into the elegant fixed top bail. The deep burgundy/brown dial is decorated with clean golden markers and hands, protected by a high-grade acrylic crystal. Inside, it houses a reliable, in-house Slava 1600 manual-wind movement with 17 ruby jewels. The watch comes complete with its authentic, original matching gold-plated chain (76 cm), allowing it to be worn immediately as a magnificent functional necklace. It is ticking strong and keeping good time!

RECOMMENDATIONS
All Antique and vintage watches are mechanical. Repairs require precision, so please handle this historical artifact with care.
- Vintage mechanical watches should not be beaten or dropped - shocks can damage the balance staff.
- Vintage watches are generally NOT waterproof. Protect your timekeeper from direct contact with water, heavy rain, or high humidity.
- If your watch becomes wet it should be dried off quickly. Carefully open all covers and use a hair drier to blow dry the movement, dial, covers, crown. This will reduce the amount of rust.
- Winding any mechanical watch tight may break the mainspring. Stop winding as soon as you feel the natural resistance tightening up.
- When adjusting the hands of your watch, move them in a clockwise direction only to prevent stress on the gear train.
- Be careful and gentle when adjusting the movement speed (faster or slower). Don't make sharp movements, and don't touch other components in the movement.
- Every 2-3 years it is recommended to service, clean, and oil vintage watches to keep them running accurately for decades to come.
- Keep your watch away from strong magnetic fields (large speakers, modern computers, magnets) since magnetic exposure can alter the balance spring performance.
- Vintage mechanical watches naturally experience a daily deviation error of up to a few minutes. An accuracy of +/- 3 to 5 minutes a day is considered excellent for a classic timepiece.
