The CCCP Sputnik Edition Slava automatic watch celebrates the word's first artificial satellite launched in October, 1957. The open date system evokes the orbit of the satellite. The cut-out dial exposing the back of the movement speaks to the clean, simple mechanisms of Sputnik 1. The 44 mm timepiece classically styled case includes both matte and polished surgical grade stainless steel. The ingenious pusher above the crown creates a quick-change date function for the Slava movement. This is a watch that will get attention for it's unusual dial but still keeps an understated look at feel. The CCCP brand celebrates the golden age of Soviet watch making from the 50s to the 80s.
