Photographs, musings and reviews of a small collection of Russian Watches including Vostok, Raketa and Poljot
A little while ago I noticed a couple of new Vostok Amphibia special edition watches pop up for sale on Soviet Market. There are two models both commemorating the 50th anniversary of the launch of Vostok 1 12th April 1961, the first flight of the …
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 …
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 …
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. …

The Vostok Amphibia SE 020B33 was released in Spring 2018. There were three variants – the SE 020B33 (the watch described here), the SE 020B34 with a white dial and the with a black dial. All are fitted with Vostok’s 2416B, 31 jewel automatic movement. …
In Autumn 2017 some new Vostok Amfibia watches began to appear for sale on various websites. There are five new models of Vostok Amfibia – the Black Sea, Red Sea, Reef and Scuba. I think there are new Turbina models too but I am not …
