Photographs, musings and reviews of a small collection of Russian Watches including Vostok, Raketa and Poljot
Happy New Year! I thought it was about time for a new blog post, the first one of 2017. This very nice Vostok Amphibia special edition arrived from Meranom in November last year. I get rather busy with work (selling wine) in November and December, …
As you probably know I am sucker for the Special Edition Vostok Amphibia watches which pop up from time to time at Meranom. I was having a look at the website the other day and I noticed a Special Edition (SE) that I had not …
The sun is shining here in the UK this afternoon and I had a few hours to spare so I thought I would take a few pictures and share my thoughts on the Vostok Amphibia 120360NK SE. This is a Special Edition Vostok Amphibia that …
I haven’t really done any modding recently, I don’t know why. I call this Vostok Amphibia 120512 mod, but really it is only a very light mod with a Dave Murphy bezel (coin edge, insert style, bezel V01050) and a new Dagaz insert added (called …

I had a Vostok Amphibia 110 shaped hole in my collection of Russian watches and decided to fill it with a Vostok Amphibia 110 Radio Room, model 110650. This watch came from www.komandirskie.com. The Vostok 110 case shape is large and angular with much more …
This Vostok Komandirskie Ukraine is a watch that sparked some debate on Facebook, some political which I am not interested in, but mostly about identifying the model. Whilst I was preparing to write this blog post and I was researching the watch, I couldn’t find …
The weather here in the UK is becoming more spring-like with the day so I decided to dust off one of my spring / summer watches, the fantastic Vostok Amphibia Sailboat dial in the 710 Ministry Case. This particular Vostok Amphibia is model number 710615 …
