Russia - Soviet Military Watch Vostok Komandirskie –...

Captivating and authentic Soviet wristwatch Vostok Komandirskie (Командирские), a true piece of history in military watchmaking from the Cold War era. Dial: Characteristic blue gradient dial with a metallic finish, decorated with a red star at 12, a submarine and an anchor, symbols of the Soviet Navy. It bears the Cyrillic inscription "Командирские" (Komandirskie), "17 камней" (17 rubies) and at the bottom "Сделано в СССР" (Made in the USSR). Arabic numerals are complete and there is a date window at 3 o'clock. Case and Bezel: Chrome-plated case with the classic bi-directional two-tone rotating bezel (red and black details). Case Back: Screw-down steel back with inscriptions in Russian relating to water resistance (Водонепроницаемые) and engraved serial number (517810). Movement: Manual-wind mechanical Vostok caliber with 17 rubies. Strap: Fitted with a vintage black leather strap. Conditions: The watch shows the usual signs of aging and use that attest to its authenticity and vintage charm. The plexiglass has light superficial scratches. The case and bezel retain a nice patina of age. (Note: as this is a vintage watch, original accuracy and water-resistance are not guaranteed; it may benefit from a service). A must-have piece for collectors of military watches, Soviet memorabilia and historical artifacts!
