AS.V5-C
Vintage 5
The fifth vintage edition is one of the most exclusive ones, as it houses the automatic luxury movement caliber 2416 Poljot – a Russian legend.
It started in 1963, when the first slim luxury movement caliber 2416.Poljot de luxe left the assembly line in small series at the “First Watch Factory” of Moscow. Instead of attaching the auto winder gears to the manual winder gears, as it was commonly done, the automatic component was integrated directly into the movement.

INSPIRATION
The fifth vintage edition is one of the most exclusive ones, as it houses the automatic luxury movement caliber 2416 Poljot – a Russian legend.
It started in 1963, when the first slim luxury movement caliber 2416.Poljot de luxe left the assembly line in small series at the “First Watch Factory” of Moscow. Instead of attaching the auto winder gears to the manual winder gears, as it was commonly done, the automatic component was integrated directly into the movement.
The result was a sensationally slim, but at the same time robust movement. With their slim shape and the cylindrical glass, watches with this caliber presented a revolutionary design at the time. However, the production of this movement was discontinued in the early 70’s. ASUM was able to secure several of them in as good as new condition and uses these “gems” to manufacture the V5 model in a limited edition of 35 pieces per dial color.
All movements are refined, engraved by hand and completely refurbished. The design recreates the slim standard of the 60’s in an effort to preserve the old vintage tradition. The exquisite dial is curved and the hours are finely marked to emphasize the watches’ elegance. The case is equipped with a complex cylindrical sapphire glass and a sapphire glass bottom.
