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.

Love it!
Great stuff. Brilliant for the cost. Hasn't let any water in, for an automatic it keeps good time +/- 2mins in two weeks. No really, for a non quartz movement that's good.It's much more of a bright chrome finish than the picture, which I prefer.Feels very robust.Only slight complaint is it's a bit fiddly to set the time to bathe second, but see above as this is t that important.I would definitely recommend, has attracted interest from Friend's and work colleagues. A little bit different from the usual.

Good value
Came on time. I orders one earlier this year but it leaked! I sent it back with no problems but still wanted one. I ordered the Amphibian it is solid quirky and is good quality. The waterproofing works and it looks good. Excellent value for money and a good solid watch to use as a beater. Only downside is the quality control could be tighter.

If you are starting out collecting watches or just want a decent watch for holiday I would recommend the Vostok amphibia. Looks great, automatic watch and won't let you down in the pool on holiday.

Fantastic watch
Really love this watch and at such an amazing price for what you get. Had mine a few weeks it's currently running at +19sec a day which is well within spec hopefully will get even better as it settles down. Iconic watch very solid build, if you love mechanical watches get one of these your love it. If your looking for super accuracy then only a quartz watch can do that.
