lexander Shorokhoff’s latest creation from the Vintage 7 series is called “Vintage 7 Matt”. The hand-finished dial design combined with the calm, not ostentatious overall look makes the watch a distinctive and elegant masterpiece. This is how Alexander Shorokhoff imagines a vintage watch.

The combination of precious rose gold plated base dial and rhodium plated with engraving matte upper dial gives the watch a special touch and emphasizes its elegant character. The watch is a time-shifting beauty that is distinguished by its noble design and exquisite workmanship. This retro look is joined by two hour appliqués at 3 and 9 o’clock, which are also in vintage style and complement the reference to the 60s/70s.

The clearly shortened and blued hour hand, as well as the blued minute and second hand and the clear hour/minute markers, clearly facilitate reading the time.

Poljot calibre 2616.2H ticks in this model and is a unique and very rare movement from the 60s, one of the oldest mechanical movements. It is a robust and reliable movement that is still used in some rare watches today. It has a 23-Jewels construction, which makes it very precise, and a power reserve of about 41 hours. The calibre is completely disassembled, engraved, refined, re- oiled, assembled, adjusted and certified at Alexander Shorokhoff Manufacture.

The height of the case shrinks to 39 millimeters, which makes it interesting for all watch lovers with slender wrists. It is rounded on the sides, while the bezel and the back are polished and the middle part is brushed. From both sides, front and back, the case is equipped with saphir glasses. Special glass seals made of Hytrel and rubber gaskets for the bezel and back allow water resistance of 5 ATM.
