Product Description
The Kashalot, for which this watch is named, was a single-hull submarine that entered service toward the end of the Soviet era in 1988. Absent of lugs, this watch is built from a single hull as well—and it’s not too shabby in the water, either Read More
I liked it a lot! I think it is a nice piece to begin a conversation. It is well made I guess, exactly what I would expect from a “soviet” tech, to feel rough and durable.
I think the design is pretty cool, black & gold and not another homage of Seikos or Rolexes. The exhibition case back comes with a pretty unique red crystal. Not a diver though, only 10 ATM WR.
Movement wise, I do hope the Slava keeps going & going. I hate that the date adjustment can only be done manually by turning the hands simulating a 24h cicle. I’d be better not to have it, it’s a very annoying “complication” if you know what I mean!
The strap is ok, kind of rustic leather and it might be a little difficult to find a replacement. Lume is fine...bezel motion is fine.
I couldn’t find much about CCCP, I believe it’s a HK based company.
For $99 it rocks! I wouldn't pay more than 200 USD for this; very pleased with Drop.
The watch is a good size. The band is fairly flexible right out of the package - that is good. The fit is good. The down side to this watch is the accuracy. On a brand-new fresh out of the package watch I would expect that the accuracy would be better. My watch gains 30 seconds an hour. Every hour. I will have to go through the exercise of opening it up to recalibrate the mechanism. I don't think I should have to do that on a new watch. I know that this will be a chore but figure that it will prove less onerous than going through a return. Probably will not buy another watch from this brand.
For the price I like this watch. The only problem is :- How do you replace the watchband?????? I have 9 1/2 inch wrists and 95% of watches need a replacement strap/band!!!!!!!!!! Also there seems to be only two positions for the crown,fully in winds the watch and fully out sets the time. Instruction booklet shows a third for date setting???
Looks good , has a really easy to read dial as well.
Arrived in good condition , started right up after a wind and has kept good time for the last 2 days .
I will do a review in a few weeks .
