Photographs, musings and reviews of a small collection of Russian Watches including Vostok, Raketa and Poljot
The Buyalov RR02 Akula was the third watch to be released by Buyalov Watches and was released in Summer 2020. As any Vostok watch fan probably already knows, the man behind Buyalov Watches is Dmitry Buyalov. Buyalov has been the designer at Vostok Watches since …
The Vostok Komandirskie K39 is a pretty big watch, one of the biggest of all the in the Komandirskie range of watches. There are about half a dozen watches in the K39 range and this watch, the dual time 390781, is the one that I …
In my previous blog post I reviewed the Vostok Amphibia Classic 170549 that forms part of a core range (so far) of six Amphibia 170 models which were first released towards the end of 2019. This watch, model 170549, is perhaps the smartest and dressiest …
It is funny how one’s tastes change. When I first started buying Vostok Amphibia watches it the 420 case shape (I was inspired originally by Bill Murray’s character in The Life Aquatic). I soon decided that these looked a little bit small on my 7 …
The Vostok Komandirskie 030935 24 Hour Watch was released in the winter of 2020. It is one of three Vostok 24 hour watches that were released at the same time. This model reviewed here, the 030936 has a blue dial and black / blue bezel. …

A little update and a quick post from my Instagram. I picked this Vostok Amphibia “Ministry” up from Ebay recently (something I don’t normally do). I was intrigued by the little fish logo and 200m around the edge of the dial between the 10 and …
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 …
