Vostok Komandirskie Red Star Army Commander Russian Military Mechanical Wrist Watch for Men

The VOSTOK company's story traces back to 1942, when one of the Moscow watch-manufacturing plants was evacuated from the city 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 conflict ended, VOSTOK began producing mechanical wrist watches - their primary product ever since.

In 1965, the VOSTOK company was appointed the official supplier of watches for the Defense Department of the Soviet Union. This year marked the creation of the world-renowned "Komandirskie" ("Commander") watch. The military watch grew immensely popular, even among those unfamiliar with firearms, primarily due to its high precision, exceptional reliability, and remarkable durability. The watch's appearance also contributed to its appeal, with its functional and clear-cut design evoking 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 200 meters, essentially a wrist-worn submarine. The success of these professional watches shaped the company's present philosophy: to create mechanical watches that maintain precise timekeeping in any temperature, any environment, and can withstand heavy pressure and impacts. The viability of this chosen strategy has been proven over time, as evidenced by the vast multitude of people, both in Russia and abroad, who proudly wear "VOSTOK" watches and the various international prizes awarded for the company's high-quality and commercial success.

Regarding the specific details of the product, the watch features a buckle clasp type. It is made in Russia and is part of the Komandirskie 811186 classic style, with a 40mm chrome-coated case and a leather band. The watch is powered by a Russian VOSTOK 2414A mechanical movement, with 17 ruby jewels, a 36-hour power reserve, and an anti-shock (shock-resistant) balance. It is water-resistant to 20 meters (66 feet) and is suitable for showering.

The watch boasts a beautiful matte dial, metallic polished luminous hands, luminous markers, a bi-directional bezel, and a stainless-steel caseback with the Russian emblem. The original 'B' trademark is prominently displayed on the dial. VOSTOK is committed to providing excellent customer service, and any product quality or functional issues will be promptly addressed and resolved, with a response typically provided within 12 to 48 hours of receiving the customer's message.
