A historically significant milestone for vintage mechanical watch collectors and enthusiasts of early automatic movements

Up for sale is a classic vintage wristwatch — the legendary "Rodina" (Motherland), manufactured by the First Moscow Watch Factory (1 MChZ). It features a striking black dial adorned with gold-tone Arabic numerals, matching hands, and marked with "22 камня" (22 jewels) and "1 МЧЗ им. Кирова".

The watch is powered by the pioneering mass-produced Soviet automatic bumper/rotor movement: the Rodina Caliber 2415A on 22 jewels with shock-protected balance. The movement has been cleaned, serviced, and is keeping good time. It comes fitted with a brand new black PU leather strap.

DEFECTS: Shows visible signs of use, minor scuffs, and age-related plating wear on the case consistent with vintage character (preserved in good working order)

HISTORY & LORE

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.
• When adjusting the hands of your watch, move them in a clockwise direction only to prevent stress on the gear train.
• 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.
