A RARE VINTAGE RARITY
A real vintage watch is a rarity. Whether from renowned or lesser-known brands, it is impossible to imagine today’s watch industry without them and they are highly valued by watch collectors.
The new “Vintage 7” model adopts a smaller case of 39.5 mm was chosen, just like in the 60s. The case was rounded on the sides for a more classic look. As always, the bezel and back were polished and the middle part was brushed. From both sides, front and back, the case is covered with sapphire glass. Special Hytrel glass gaskets and rubber gaskets for the bezel and back allow water resistance of 5 ATM.
The dials consist of three parts. The basic dial is made in silver colour with a sunburst, and the upper dial itself consists of two parts – above the line 3-9 o’clock and below the line 3-9 o’clock. They are made in red, green or blue colours. The shape of the two upper parts is not chosen randomly. They both have round recesses in the area at 12 o’clock and 6 o’clock, as well as in the middle segment of the dial. In the outer recesses are placed important elements – the “Alexander Shorokhoff” symbol, the distinctive number 60 and the calendar. A small hour hand is placed in the middle segment. It is this
small hour hand, as well as the shape and colours of the upper parts of the dial that make the watch so special. They convey the vintage feel in a soft and pleasant presentation.
The lower dial has two more time markers – for minutes in the outer area and for hours in the middle area. These hands are also made in the same size. For seconds, markers are made on the upper dials and for this purpose such large second hands are made. Two appliqués at 9 and 3 o’clock, also made in a vintage shape, complete the affiliation with the 60s.
The movement is the Poljot caliber 2614 from the 60s. It is completely disassembled, engraved, refined, re-oiled, assembled, adjusted and certified at Alexander Shorokhoff Manufacture. After that, you get a mechanical beauty. This can also be viewed through the sapphire crystal case back.
All models of the “Vintage 7” collection are produced in a limited edition of 30 pieces per colour and are dedicated to the 30th anniversary year of the manufacture.
The bold combination of red/silver lends a playful edge to this piece which is further enhanced by blued hands to add clarity and legibility to the dial.
