Automatic
Automatic watches (or self-winding) are
watches with a mechanical movement which are wound by the
motion of the wearer's arm rather than through turning the
winding stem. A rotor that turns in response to motion winds
the watch's mainspring. If an automatic watch is not worn
for a day or two, it will wind down and need to be wound by
hand to get it started again. Typically, an automatic watch
will have a power reserve of up to 36 hours. Such watches
can last as long as 40 hours.
Hand-wound
A mechanical watch is powered by a mainspring
in a housing called a barrel. The mainspring when wound by
hand, unwinds very slowly, transmitting power to a system
of interconnected gearwheels called the gear train. This in
turn is connected to the escapement mechanism consisting of
a wheel and a pallet fork which transmits impulses to the
balance wheel, making it oscillate. This is the element which
makes the characteristic ticking noise. There is a further
train which moves the hands of the watch. A hand-wound mechanical
movement dates back to the 14th century. It is made up of
at least 130 parts assembled in the three main categories
which are:
the source of energy
the regulating parts
the display
The number of component parts is much higher
in so-called complicated watches (date, phases of moon, fly-back
hand, etc.). Most of “Poljot” watches are complicated.
Chronograph
 Chronograph
is a watch that includes a built in stopwatch function - i.e.,
a timer that can be started and stopped to time an event.
There are many variations on the chronograph. Some operate
with a center seconds hand which keeps time on the watch's
main dial. Others use sub-dials to time elapsed hours, minutes
and seconds. “Poljot” uses both. Some chronographs can be
used as a lap timer (also known as "flyback" and
"split seconds"). The accuracy of the stopwatch
function will commonly vary from 1/5th second to 1/100th second
depending on the chronograph. Watches that include the chronograph
function are themselves called "chronographs." When
a chronograph is used in conjunction with specialized scales
on the watch face it can perform many different functions,
such as determining speed or distance (such as "tachymeter"
and "telemeter".) Do not confuse the term "chronograph"
with "chronometer." The latter refers to a timepiece,
which may or may not have a chronograph function, that has
met certain high standards of accuracy set by an official
watch institute in Switzerland.
Day / Night
A watch with moon phase indicator that
keeps track of the phases of the moon. A regular rotation
of the moon is once around the Earth every 29 days, 12 hours,
and 44 minutes. Once set, the moon phase indicator accurately
displays the phase of the moon.
Chronograph
A watch that includes a built in stopwatch
function - i.e., a timer that can be started and stopped to
time an event.

Union of high quality and commercial success
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. Still, Vostok is far from being self-content with
their achievements.They are always trying to look ahead, pursuing
new ways to broaden their market presence.
Thus, in 1996 Vostok started a partnership
with US "Capital Trading" company aiming to create
a new generation timepiece. The synergy of traditional "Vostok"
austere design and the world's latest watch-marking trends
is a cornerstone of this new project launched into the oncoming
century. Time goes by, bringing changes into everything -
Vostok introduce innovative technologies, new styles of watches,
one generation of watchmakers follows another. Yet, one thing
remains unchanged with us - as fifty years ago Vostok makes
for you timepieces you can rely upon.
Every year the quality of the Vostok factory
watches gets a high world appraisal. In 1995 the factory got
the international diamond "Quality Star" and the
certificate "The Leader of the Russian economy",
and in 1998 - the Diploma "100 best goods of Russia",
in 2000 - the prize of the International Association ADM "The
enterprise of 2000".
Four certificates that appraised the high quality
of production of the Vostok factory were awarded on 29.09.2004
in Tchistopol. The general manager of the factory Vladislav
Tsivilyn was given the certificates, attesting the high quality
of chronometers and the correspondence of the management system
both to Russian GOSTs and international standards.
The first from the given certificates - GOST
R - confirms the correspondence of the quality of Tchistopol
watches to the Russian standards.
The second certificate - the one of the military
Register - confirms the professionalism and quality of Tchistopol
workers while fulfilling the state order of military agency.
The third certificate is given by the Russian
