Category: vostok komandirskie automatic
Vostok, the official supplier of watches for the Defense Department of the Soviet Union and the modern Russian Army, has a rich history dating back to 1942. 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 its 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-famous "Komandirskie" ("Commander") watch. This military watch quickly gained immense popularity, even among those unfamiliar with firearms, primarily due to its high precision, exceptional reliability, and durability. The watch's functional and clear-cut design evoked a sense of belonging to the tough world of combat professionals.
The experience 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 endure depths of up to 2,000 meters, making it a true wrist-mounted submarine.
The success of Vostok's professional watches has shaped the company's present philosophy: to create mechanical watches that maintain precise timekeeping in any temperature, environment, and withstand heavy pressure and impacts. The viability of this strategy has been proven over time, as evidenced by the vast number of people both in Russia and abroad who proudly wear "Vostok" watches and the various international prizes the company has received for its high-quality and commercially successful products.
In 1996, Vostok partnered with the US-based "Capital Trading" company to create a new generation of timepieces. The watch is assembled for US sales using Sputnik TM technology.
As for the specific details of the Vostok watch, it features a classic design with a tang buckle clasp and is classified as a diving watch. The dimensions are approximately 1.6x1.9x0.6 inches (41x48x15 mm), and the lug size is 20mm. The watch is powered by an automatic VOSTOK self-winding movement with 32 ruby jewels, meaning no manual winding is required, but the watch can still be wound with the winding stem if it has not been worn for some time. A fully wound watch can run for at least 31 hours. The watch is also equipped with an anti-shock (shock-resistant) balance, a central second hand, and a graduated rotated bezel. The hands and dots are luminous, ensuring visibility in low-light conditions. The watch is water-resistant up to 200 meters (20 Bar).
In summary, the Vostok watch is a classic model made by the official supplier of the Soviet Union and modern Russian Army's defense department. Its rich history, impressive features, and proven reliability have made it a highly sought-after timepiece among watch enthusiasts around the world.
