Slava (Russian: Cлава, meaning "Glory") watches were classic "civil" Russian watches. The Slava factory (known originally as the Second Moscow Watch Factory) was the second non-military watchmaker established in the Soviet Union, in 1924. The watches of this brand have always been intended for civilian consumption, without military or aerospace pretensions.

Slava's own mechanical movements feature two mainspring barrels coupled together with an idler gear. There are many versions of the movement including manual wind 2414 and 2428 (double date) and self winding 2416 and 2427 (double date). 

Earlier the 2nd Moscow Factory produced movements derived from an old pre-war French movement, the Lip "T-15" (also some Poljot movements were derived from this French brand), and produced under license (brands Pobeda and Start). In addition to that, for relatively brief periods, Slava also produced its own electronic movements using tuning fork and quartz systems. Some Slava watches were produced under Sekonda brand names.

Awards:

    1964 - at the Leipzig international fair, Slava's tuning-fork wristwatch received a gold medal
    1974 - Slava watches received a gold medal at the Brno fair
    1975 - gold medal at the Leipzig international fair

Slava watches utilize their own Russian made movements today, and for some models, bought in movements from Miyota are used. In the 1990s, many Slava movements were exported to China and Hong Kong, and can since be found in Chinese production.
