Vostok Amphibian Automatic Men's Self-Winding Diver Watch

Vostok, a renowned Russian watch manufacturer, has a rich history dating back to 1942 when one of Moscow's watch-making plants was evacuated to the town of Chistopol during World War II. Initially, the company's output was focused on defense equipment, but as soon as the war ended, Vostok began producing mechanical wrist watches, which have remained their primary product ever since.

In 1965, Vostok was appointed the official supplier of watches for the Defense Department of the Soviet Union, a pivotal moment that led to the creation of the world-famous "Komandirskie" ("Commander") watch. This military watch gained immense popularity, not only among service members but also with the general public, due to its high precision, exceptional reliability, and durable construction. The functional and clear-cut design of the "Komandirskie" evoked a sense of belonging to the tough world of combat professionals.

The success of the army watch inspired Vostok to develop another iconic timepiece - the "Amphibian." This impressive stainless-steel watch was designed to withstand depths of up to 2000 meters, making it a true wrist-mounted submarine. The company's commitment to creating mechanical watches that maintain precise timekeeping in any temperature, environment, and under heavy pressure or impact has been the foundation of their philosophy.

In 1996, Vostok partnered with the US-based "Capital Trading" company to create a new generation of timepieces. The watches assembled for the US market are produced using Sputnik TM technology, ensuring both quality and innovation.

The Vostok product featured in this listing is a classic model that embodies the brand's renowned craftsmanship and attention to detail. It boasts a Tang Buckle clasp type and is classified as a Casual Watch. The dimensions of the watch are approximately 41x45x15 mm, with a 22mm lug size.

At the heart of this timepiece is an automatic VOSTOK self-winding movement with 31 ruby jewels. This movement eliminates the need for manual winding, but the watch can still be wound up using the winding stem if it has not been worn for some time. A fully wound Vostok watch can run for at least 31 hours.

The watch is designed to be anti-shock (shock resistant) and features a central second hand, a graduated rotated bezel, and luminous hands and dots for enhanced legibility. The Vostok company has a long-standing reputation for producing high-quality, durable, and reliable mechanical watches that have won numerous international awards and the admiration of watch enthusiasts worldwide.
