Photographs, musings and reviews of a small collection of Russian Watches including Vostok, Raketa and Poljot
Here is one of my latest acquisitions, a Vostok Amphibia in the 670 case. A couple of months ago seven different models popped up on the Meranom website. I am not going to go into too much detail about the case size etc., there is …
I didn’t have a Vostok Amphibia Classic 100 in my collection, so I thought it was about time I picked one up. I guess one of the main reasons I hadn’t got one yet is because I never really liked the look of the bezel. …
