Watch lines by Vostok

At current times, the main brands are the following: “Commander’s”, “Kremlin’s”, “Amphibian”, “Troyka” and the new brand “Europe”. Here you can find more detailed information about these magnificent pieces of art. Russian watches - Russian souvenirs are one of the sides of Russia, its progress and development in technology and design.

"Komandirskie" ("Commander’s") Watch

Commander's WatchYet, the “Vostok” never backed away completely from its military past - the company was appointed an official supplier of watches for the Defense Department of the Soviet Union in 1965. This year marks the creation of the world-famous "Komandirskie" ("Commander") watch.

This Brand is the world famous one. It is well sold all over the world, being the most popular Russian watch souvenir. “Commander's” wristwatches demonstrate the highest standards of precision, reliability, and resistance to unfavourable conditions. Their quality is approved by the time.

 

“Troyka” Watch


“Troyka” is renowned for its originally designed back cover. The rear transparent cover demonstrates the unimpeachable work of the watch and the delicate fretwork.
There is an abundance of technical items to observe down through a transparent cover. This Russian watch brand is highly popular all over the world.

Vostok was also noted for its production of marine clocks, which became a fixture on Soviet Navy warships and submarines. The navy series includes such models as Neptune and Breeze.

The experience gained through the development of the “Komandirskie” watch was the foundation of the distinguished watches – “Amphibian” and “RussArmy”.


"Amphibian" Watch

Amphibian WatcgTraditional conservatism of Russian manufacturer guarantees the stability on the market of the diver watches NV-1 produced a lot of years ago by Chistopolsky Watch Factory "Vostok" by request of Department of Defense. These Russian watches are intended more for professionals than for amateurs. They can be a good Russian souvenir for military men.

"Amphibian" is an 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.

”Amphibian” has a calendar in the small window and a band turning in both sides (lunette) in order to set the time of submersion and decompression stages which are useful during lifting. Hands and numbers, which are covered with special phosphoric paint.

Every "Amphibian" item is checked individually for the purpose of 100% conformity with international quality standards for diver watches. Even sea water can not spoil the metal. Legibility of lunette and dial's inscriptions, antimagnetic properties of case, reliability of bracelet and clasp, everything is tested. Watches must stand atmosphere, water pressure, and sudden temperature difference. Such tests allow speaking about quality and reliability of the watches.

The first Russian waterproof and shock resistant Amphibian category was born in 1967. The name “Amphibian” had been chosen for the new class of watches symbolizing the creature that is equally comfortable in water and on land.

By examining closely, one could see that “Amphibian” differs from regular “Komandirskie” it is equipped with thicker synthetic glass, backcase and with enlarged screw-in construction crown.

"Amphibian" during "Storm in Desert" operation
"Vostok" watches are popular in Russia and abroad. They are considered to be nice high-quality Russian souvenirs and gifts both for amateurs and connoisseur. It is surprising that soldiers of US, UK, German armies wear Amphibian watches. When in 1992 during "Storm in Desert" operation USA and its allies crushed Saddam Hussein, in Pentagon they decided to reward all participants of the campaign with memorable watches by old tradition. There was a competition, who could supply the desired quantity of watches with required characteristics in the shortest period of time. This competition was won by the company, which presented the famous "Amphibian", and several months later the winners were awarded by 20 thousand watches with the logo of this campaign.

"KGB" WatchThe historical “KGB” insignia timepiece and guaranteed future classic, that decorates some Russian watches, including Vostok watches, was designed and issued to Russian Security Forces professionals whose lives depended on reliability of their watches in the water.
