The Vostok company's story dates back to 1942, when one of the Moscow watch-making plants was evacuated from Moscow to the small town of Chistopol, located on the Kama River. During the war years, the company's sole output was defense equipment, but as soon as the war ended, Vostok began manufacturing mechanical wrist watches, which have remained the company's primary production item ever since. In 1965, Vostok was appointed the official supplier of watches for the Defense Department of the Soviet Union, and this year marked the creation of the world-renowned "Komandirskie" ("Commander") watch.

The military watch quickly gained immense popularity, even among those unfamiliar with firearms, primarily due to its high precision, exceptional reliability, and remarkable durability. The watch's functional and clear-cut design evoked a sense of belonging to the rugged world of combat professionals. The expertise Vostok gained through the development of the army watch laid the foundation for their next special timepiece, the "Amphibian." This impressive stainless-steel cased watch could withstand depths of up to 2000 meters, making it a veritable wrist-mounted submarine.

The success of Vostok's professional watches has shaped the company's present-day philosophy: to create mechanical watches that maintain precise timekeeping in any temperature, environment, and withstand heavy pressure and impacts. The viability of this chosen strategy has been proven over time, with a vast multitude of people in Russia and abroad proudly wearing "Vostok" watches and the company's various international awards for high quality and commercial success serving as testament to this.

In 1996, Vostok entered into a partnership with the US "Capital Trading" company, aiming to create a new generation of timepieces. These watches are now assembled for sale in the US using Sputnik TM technology.

As for the specific details of the product at hand, it is a Casual Classic Style Vostok model with the following specifications: Dimensions of approximately 41x46x15 mm, 18mm lug size, and a water resistance of 200 m (20 Bar). It features an automatic VOSTOK self-winding movement with 31 ruby jewels, which requires no manual winding, but can still be wound using the stem if the watch has not been worn for some time. Fully wound, the watch can run for at least 31 hours. The watch is also anti-shock (shock resistant), with a central second hand and a graduated rotated bezel. The hands and dots are luminous, adding to the watch's functionality. The Casual Watch has a buckle clasp type.
