Photographs, musings and reviews of a small collection of Russian Watches including Vostok, Raketa and Poljot
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 …
Its been a while since my last blog post, in fact I have just realised that I haven’t posted since 2015! This has been due to a combination of the fact that I haven’t really had much to blog about recently with very little in …
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 …

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, …
This little beauty, actually not so little, with a diameter of 40mm excluding the crown, was one of my first Russian watches. This model is variously known as the Raketa Azimuth, sometimes the Raketa Wind Rose and I have also seen it called the Polaris, …
