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.

Very smart dial for the ministry case
My Vostok Amphibia arrived in Turkey in 3 weeks'time in a well packaged and undamaged condition. My first impression of this 710 ministry case is charming esp. with this dial. Quite a robust diver watch, keeps time within acceptable tolerances. This is my second order from the Ru-store, the first one was a 420 case which was a bit small for my wrist. Sergey gives fast and polite replies in case you have questions. Absolutely happy with my purchase.

Retro cool
I’ve had the watch for a couple days so far. It’s keeping really good time for a mechanical watch, at least by my standards. The customer service was excellent, especially considering an ongoing postal strike in Canada.I love the domed acrylic crystal and the bezel has the perfect tension for a bi-directional design. The included nato was a decent quality and went on one of my other watches. I have the watch on a two tone bond nato with polished hardware, and it looks really retro and cool. The loom is suprisingly good for the price. I love the satin pebbled dial with the railmaster-esque hands and markers.Overall, I’d recommend the watch unless you want a modern looking watch. This is retro all the way.
