Vostok company story starts back in 1942, when one of the Moscow watch-making plants has been evacuated from Moscow to a little town Chistopol located on the Kama River. Defense equipment was the only company output during war years, but as soon as the war was over Vostok started to make mechanical wrist watches - the main production item ever since. In 1965 Vostok company was appointed an official supplier of watches for the Defense Department of the Soviet Union. This year marks the creation of the world-famous "Komandirskie" ("Commander") watch. Military watch grew very popular even with people who were unaware which end of the gun bullet comes off, mainly due to high precision, excessive reliability and durability. The appearance of the watch also contributes to its appeal - functional and clear-cut design invoked the feeling of belonging to the tough world of combat professional. The experience which Vostok gained through development of the army watch was the foundation of our next special watch - "Amphibian". This impressive timepiece in stainless-steel case endured the depth of 2000 meters - kind of a wrist submarine. Success of the professional watches determined the company's present philosophy - to create mechanical watches maintaining precise timekeeping at any temperature, in any environment, surviving heavy pressure and blows. The viability of the chosen strategy is now time-proven. A vast multitude of people both in Russia and abroad boasting "Vostok" watches and various international prizes awarded for high quality and commercial success testify to this. In 1996 Vostok started a partnership with US "Capital Trading" company aiming to create a new generation timepiece.

Great bang for the buck watch
The watch looks better in person. I have a 6" 11/16 wrist size and fits really nice, even though its at the limit of what I like to wear. Still will need to give it a water test but overall the watch looks amazing and feels great. Totally consider to buy it not only as a beater or an inexpensive option, but as a unique time piece with an interesting story to tell. P.S. As you can see, it can fit under a cuff (even if it does it a little bit tight).

Looks good, lume great, bezel bad, crown bad
Overall looks cool and with unique Soviet style. The lume is located on each rectangular indices (not the whole indices sticks, just the rectangular parts), on the "12" indice, on the 12 location of the bezel, and on all of the hands. Lume is quite good and clear. The bezel can be rotated bidirectionally, rotation is quite rough without precise clicks. The crown feels quite different from other watches, feels like it's falling out which isn't robust, but still functions like it should. No quick date set, needs to turn hours hands from 8 to 12 again and again to move towards to today's date.

Just buy it, it's a no-brainer!
I am not going to go on raving about how great of a value this watch is. I'm sure there are other previous reviews mentioning that. Just buy it! It is the best value for your dollars. However, if you are still not sure of purchasing any Vostok watches, it would be worth your time tuning into a few YouTube videos by the watch critics. You'll def want to buy more than one.

This is my first automatic watch so take my words with a grain of salt. Wanted an practical automatic watch because my quartz watch died at work and I did not have my phone with me. No cash to deal with accurate automatic watch and I usually hide my watch under my sleeves so solar is out of question too. As for the watch in practice, I kinda get OCD by the +20 sec per day with the non-hacking mechanism. This watch was supposed to be temporary till I get cash for a more accurate and practical one but I think I might just continue using it.

Absolutely excellent watch. Looks cool, easy to tell seconds(in darkness too) and with a casing like that I really do believe that it's reasonably impact proof.
