Photographs, musings and reviews of a small collection of Russian Watches including Vostok, Raketa and Poljot
I really have been enjoying the Vostok Komandirskie k-28 280681 that I recently acquired, so much so that I decide to pick up another, the Vostok Komandirskie 280683. Whilst the 280681 has a blue dial, a classic dial design that it is very similar to …
The Vostok Amphibia SE 020B37 appeared on Meranom’s website in the summer of 2019. I decided to add this to the collection mainly because I hadn’t bought anything new for a while (I was getting withdrawal symptons!) and also because I realised that, apart from …
It has been a while since I last posted as I haven’t really had anything incoming (I would love to know if there are any new Special Editions coming out from Meranom!). I did buy an old Komandirskie 53 recently, which arrived with indecent haste …
This is a post more about the watch strap than the watch. The watch is one of my favourites, a Vostok Amphibia Classic 090 with a matt body and a nice matt, satin bezel (dial reference 090913). The strap is from GasGasBones.com. I had been …
The Vostok Komandirksie K-28 first appeared in the Summer of 2019. It sits in the Vostok classic Komandirskie range alongside other watches such as the K-35, K-39 etc. The Komandirskie K-28 was released in four different configurations: 280684 – Navy blue dial, white marking with …

The Vostok Amphibia 090 tonneau style case is probably my favourite of the classic Amphibia case styles, although the Amphibia 150 and 710 “ministry” cases are not far behind. I like the look and size of all of these on my 7 1/2 inch wrist. …
I thought I would start a new occasional series of wrist shots, just whatever I happen to be wearing out and about that day. I know the Buyalov Radio Room one isn’t to everyone’s taste, perhaps not strictly a Russian watch, but it is designed …
The Vostok Amphibia Classic 150 range of watches first appeared in 2017. It was a brand new case type for Vostok. The first of the Vostok 150 releases, however, was the special edition Vostok Amphibia 150520S (which I think I acquired in late 2015) a …
When is an Komandirskie not a Komandirskie? When it is the Vostok Komandirskie Classic 65! The Vostok Komandirskie Classic 65 range was first released in early 2018. On examination it appears to be a Komandirskie in an a Vostok Amphibia 670 case – or in …
