VOSTOK Russian Vintage Mechanical Watch. A vintage wristwatch “Amphibian” that was produced at the Russian plant “Vostok” approximately in the 1960s. It was one of the earliest batch of “Amphibian” watches. Vintage retro watch, about 60 years old. Special removable “ears” (lugs), that’s why such watches are called “Eared Amphibian”. Hermetic stainless steel case. Diver water resistance case (200m) designed for diving, swimming, scuba diving, surfing on the waves in both salt and fresh water (wasn’t tested); the crown should be unscrewed for winding. Luminous dial and hands. New zulu strap. 18 jewels Soviet mechanism (there’s the inscription “Made in the USSR” at the bottom of the dial; all the inscriptions are in English so the watch might be done for export). Serviced by a professional master. “Vostok” (translated as “East”) produces military and diver mechanical/automatic watches in Chistopol, Tatarstan, Russia. The name of the watches was chosen in honor to the amphibian – a creature that feels comfortable both in water and on land. By order of the Navy of the USSR, the “Vostok” plant began to produce the military modification of the “Amphibian” watch, that was successfully tested during the naval exercises in the North Sea. In 1975 the watch was even used when flying into space. Case Size with crown: 42.2mm. Case Size without crown: 40 mm. Wristband size: 16 mm. For its age (about 50 years old) the watch is in excellent condition: watch bought from a private collection, runs well and keeps time accurately (the mechanism was serviced by a professional watch master). The luminous dial is very good condition. The case, its backside and the crown are looks great. There’re minor specks of dust under the glass. Mineral glass has minor scratches. The watch goes with a new strap. Look at all photos for more accurate description! You’ll get exactly what you see! Does not happen problems that can not be solved.
