Slava Tank USSR Wristwatch 1980s Men's Automatic 27 Jewels Caliber 2427

Description Slava Tank USSR Wristwatch 1980s Men's Automatic 27 Jewels Caliber 2427

This Slava Tank automatic wristwatch comes from the Second Moscow Watch Factory and dates to the 1980s, around 1986. It is powered by the Slava 2427 automatic movement and has been serviced, making it a strong collector-grade Soviet daily wearer.

The Look

The black dial gives this Slava a crisp, purposeful character, especially against the cushion-shaped chrome case. Slim baton markers keep the layout clean, while the dial is signed Automatic, Slava, 27 Jewels, and Made in USSR in English. Steel hour, minute, and central seconds hands are fitted, with white inserts on the main hands for contrast. The acrylic crystal suits the period and adds the warm, slightly softer profile collectors expect from a vintage USSR watch.

Inside the Case

Inside is the Slava caliber 2427, an automatic Soviet movement with day, date, and central seconds. This is one of the practical charms of the watch: a distinctive 1980s case shape paired with a full-function automatic movement.
