he Neva River takes its beginnings near the Lagoda Lake, which is surrounded with a lot of greenery. Water is the source of life of any origin. Where there is water, greenery is not far.

Green is life, hope, confidence, naturalness. All these nouns perfectly describe the new model. In its perfection between all extremes, it has a calming effect without being tiring. It looks natural without being boring. Much more it radiates power, drives life, pulsates! The new green color scheme of the model “Neva” is lively and fresh.

At the same time, the green coloring gathers strength and brings regeneration, because the view of the green is never exhausting. Green is the spring, green is the fertile, the success and prosperity. Almost magical is this color, just like the new “Neva” from Alexander Shorokhoff.

As with the previous model, the wave-shaped guilloché of the upper dial plays the main role. The lower dial provides the contrast and bears the logo Alexander Shorokhoff, the minute as well as the second markers. Not to be forgotten is the small silver-colored curved seconds hand at the 9 o’clock position, which bears the shape of the letter “N”, referring to the name of the watch. The silver hour and minute hands create the necessary contrast with the rich green.

The stainless steel case completes this model with two strap options: A pleasant green crocodile leather strap or a high quality milanaise strap with engraved folding clasp.

The movement is the Russian caliber 3105.Poljot, which is derived from the Swiss Valjoux caliber 7734, but without the chronograph function. The movement is completely overhauled, re-oiled, adjusted and tested at the “Alexander Shorokhoff” watch manufacture. The bridges are hand- engraved or cloud-cut, and the screws are polished and blued.

The beauty of the movement can be seen through the sapphire crystal. These movements are no longer produced today. However, the Alexander Shorokhoff watch manufactory has secured a limited quantity and produces this series in a small limited edition.

Further models of this series will follow in different colour combinations with small limitations.
