The latest watch brand comes from Russia. The Volna timepieces take their inspiration from the mysterious world of the Soviet submarine fleet. Each collection is named after a submarine class of the Soviet era. The Typhoon, Volna's lead collection,is inspired by the largest submarine ever built of the same name. The watch's case is 46 ½ mm diameter. It is water resistant to 300 meters and has a prominent case protecting the winding crown. The Typhoon's double security crown uses a crown actuator to engage the crown from its place within the caseband and unscrewed for time setting. A security indicator within the dial lets you know if the crown has been properly closed by displaying either the "OPEN" position or the "300 M" position. VOLNA will produce 500 watches worldwide, with only 150 pieces available in the US. Retail prices begin at $4,900.
