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 200 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.

Value for money
Bought it as a gift for my father.Overall quality is very good, especially for the low asking price.Another plus is that this is a time piece that has actual history behind it.The strap is a bit disappointing, but it's easy to replace it with whatever strap you want.The packaging looks like it is for a medication.Nevertheless, I think this is the right way to cut the production costs, leaving more budget for the actual watch.

Vostok Komandirskie
Onesto orologio russo del tipo a carica manuale ; ottima la parte estetica dell'orologio mentre il calibro che incassa è un semplice carica MANUALE che garantisce discrete prestazioni in termini di precisione della misura del tempo, ha solo qualche incertezza nella corona di carica che va usata con delicatezza nonostante l'orologio sia strutturalmente robusto.In definitiva un buon acquisto tenendo conto del rapporto qualità/prezzo estremamente favorevole.

Mediocre..
Orologio non molto robusto..Lo porto da mesi al polso andava benino...oggi dopo 2 ore ha già perso 25 minuti.. Lancetta dei secondi che si blocca ad ogni movimento più forte del polso.Non Consiglio affatto.

Orologio bello ma materiali scadenti
Dopo soli quattro giorni si è rotto il cinturino. A mio parere, in un orologio da polso, il cinturino è una parte fondamentale, se non me ne fossi accorto l'avrei perso per strada. Visti i materiali del cinturino temo per l'orologio stesso ma questo solo il tempo ce lo potrà dire.Dopo 11 mesi la carica non dura 18 ore costringendomi a correggere l'ora ogni giorno.La valutazione è pesantemente negativa statene alla larga è denaro sprecato.

Classic looks but rugged mechanics
I'm blown away by the quality of it, it's the most accurate mechanical time piece i own. In comparison with my other watch that was well over $200 i feel confident that it could take a beating at work and continue to be just as accurate. Customer service was top notch, the seller was in contact with me from placing my order to delivery, I highly recommend Vostok watches!
