A package full of watches from Russian and East German production arrived at the archive in February 2026. It contained a wonderfully preserved Slava 5338, an electromechanical movement with a Russian transistor, then a Luch 1800 (previously only available in the archive in a defective state), a Chaika 1601 (without the “A” suffix, and therefore a new addition to the archive), as well as a functional UMF 24-32 in a special, waterproof case with a worldtime bezel, a UMF M3 (Diva) and a UMF 83 (Regular) in the F2 variant, which was not yet in the archive and was only produced between 1968 and 1970.
As soon, as the other movements and watches/clocks are officially added to the archiv, due to the large backlog probably in 2030, they will be linked here, too.
