Crafted in Russia, the Komandirskie 436818 Classic watch from VOSTOK showcases a distinct aesthetic. Featuring a 40mm titanium-coated case and a leather band, this timepiece exudes a timeless, refined look.

Powering the Komandirskie is the renowned VOSTOK 2414A mechanical movement, boasting 17 ruby jewels and a 36-hour power reserve. This reliable engine is shock-resistant, ensuring the watch can withstand the rigors of daily wear. The screw-down crown further enhances the watch's water resistance, allowing it to be worn while washing in the shower, up to a depth of 20 meters (66 feet).

The watch's face is a beautiful matte blue dial, adorned with metallic polished luminous hands and markers, providing excellent legibility in low-light conditions. The bidirectional bezel adds an extra layer of functionality, allowing for effortless time tracking. The stainless-steel caseback features the iconic Russian emblem, a testament to the watch's heritage.

VOSTOK's commitment to exceptional customer service is a hallmark of the brand. Should any product quality or functional issues arise after receiving the watch, the company promises a timely response, typically within 12 to 48 hours, to resolve the problem. This dedication to customer satisfaction is a testament to VOSTOK's unwavering dedication to its craft.

The VOSTOK story began in 1942, when one of Moscow's watch-making plants was evacuated to the town of Chistopol, located on the Kama River. During the war years, the company's focus was on defense equipment, but as soon as the conflict ended, VOSTOK turned its attention to producing mechanical wrist watches, which became the brand's primary focus.

In 1965, VOSTOK was appointed as the official supplier of watches for the Defense Department of the Soviet Union, a milestone that led to the creation of the iconic "Komandirskie" or "Commander" watch. This military-inspired timepiece gained widespread popularity, even among those unfamiliar with the intricacies of combat, thanks to its exceptional precision, reliability, and durability.

The success of the Komandirskie paved the way for the development of VOSTOK's next masterpiece, the "Amphibian." This impressive stainless-steel watch was designed to withstand depths of up to 200 meters, cementing VOSTOK's reputation for crafting professional-grade timepieces.

Today, VOSTOK's philosophy remains steadfast: to create mechanical watches that maintain precise timekeeping in any environment, enduring heavy pressure and blows. This commitment to quality and innovation has earned the brand numerous international accolades and a loyal following both in Russia and abroad.

Vostok Trading, a long-term partner of VOSTOK Watch Factory, proudly represents the brand in the United States, ensuring the legacy of these exceptional Russian-made timepieces continues to shine.
