Vintage Slava Soviet Watch, Mechanical Cal. 2428 Blue Dial Day/Date from 1980s

This vintage Slava from the 1980s reflects a period when Soviet watchmakers were increasingly looking toward Western markets for inspiration. The bold case proportions, integrated-style bracelet design, and clean dial layout show clear attempts to align with contemporary Western aesthetics, while still maintaining the practicality typical of late Soviet production.

The 39mm cushion-style case gives it strong wrist presence, and the deep blue textured dial adds character without excess. It stands as an interesting example of how Soviet brands like Slava adapted their design language during the final decade of USSR manufacturing, blending domestic engineering with export-oriented styling.
