The SLAVA 1600 is a vintage Russian mechanical watch movement renowned for its simplicity and reliability in hand-wound watches. It features distinctive technical traits and a standardized set of spare parts, making it an important calibre for collectors and restorers. Here is a double-checked, 300-word overview highlighting its spare part specifics.
Overview
The SLAVA 1600 movement is manually wound via the crown, and is prized for its robustness and straightforward construction. It lacks shock protection, setting it apart from its sibling, the SLAVA 1601, which introduced shock-resistant upgrades. Typically built with 17 jewels, the movement uses a Swiss lever escapement and a monometallic screw balance.

5 1/2”’ (ligne) size, corresponding to about 16 mm diameter and 3.60 mm height.
17-jewel configuration for reduced mechanical friction and longevity.
Operates at 21,600 beats per hour (A/h), ensuring a smooth sweep.
No seconds hand in standard design and no date/day complications.
