Photographs, musings and reviews of a small collection of Russian Watches including Vostok, Raketa and Poljot
I have been trying hard to reign in my watch buying recently but new models keep appearing! This is the new Vostok Komandirskie 03, the 030787, which was released, alongside model 030786, in autumn 2019. Both watches are the same the only difference is that …
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 …
I don’t own many Vostok Komandirksie watches, I am much more of an Vostok Amphibia kind of guy. However, I couldn’t resist purchasing a Vostok Komandirskie when I recently picked up the new Vostok Amphibia SE150520S. The Vostok Komandirskie K-35 range is a relatively new …

This is rapidly becoming one of my favourite watches. This particular Vostok Komandirskie K-34 Automatic, model 2426/350006, is a lot of watch for the money, if you can find one in stock somewhere. Mine came from www.komandirskie.com, at a very good price. Firstly, let me say, …
The Vostok Amphibia Operation Desert Shield has an interesting story behind it. There also seem to be a lot of variations of this watch, Komandirskies, Generalskies and Amphibias, some are real and some are frankens. I think mine is the real deal, an Amphibia 420 …
I am much more of a Vostok Amphibia kind of guy but I do have a few Vostok Komandirskie watches in my collection. I don’t know why, I just find the Amphibias more pleaseing to my eye I guess. This one of my Komandirskie watches, …
