Powered by the Slava 2414 movement, one of Slava's 24xx series movements post-1960 -- one (date) calendar, central sweep second hand, manual winding.
Even though it says "Spetsnaz" on the dial and there's a an owl-like emblem (which may or may not be the emblem of Russia's Spetsnaz crack troops), there are no specific protective qualities -- no shock resist beyond basic and no water resistance. It is just Slava's military themed watch... they made many of those in the late 1990s - early 2000s.
An owl in the top half of the dial.
... and says Spetsnaz at the bottom.
On wrist.
Movements shots, made later.
It is a Russian period 2414 movement, probably early 2000s.
Twin barrels.
A compact movement.
Capable of precise running, if properly adjusted.
Utilizes the space "under the hood" most efficiently.
Nice clean movement.
A large minute wheel and a large balance.
Hello I have recently acquired a watch with same face, but ЗАЩИТНИКУ ОТЕЧЕСТВА (defender of the fatherland I think) on bezel, and a kind of fake tactical watch feel. Don't know if it's self winding but it stated running when I picked it up out of a box where it'd sat for years.

ReplyDeleteHello, yes, Slava has (had) many combinations of watch face / body / bezel especially in the 1990s - no strict canon.
DeleteIf it's self-winding you should feel (or maybe even hear) the rotor moving. Also, with self-winding Slavas the case back has a raised part in the center to accommodate the rotor under it. S2415 (rare), S2416 and S2427 are self-winding, the others (2409, 2414, 2428) are manual wind.
