Vostok Amphibian Black Dial
Vostok Amphibian Diver's wrist watch, made in USSR, ca.1993s. The Vostok Company was founded in 1942 when one of the Moscow watch-making plants of the First Moscow Watch Factory was evacuated to Chistopol, a small town located on the Kama River in Tatarstan.[1] Only defense equipment was produced during the war years, but as soon as the war was over the company started making mechanical wrist watches. However, the Company did not begin using the "Vostok" brand name until the 1960s. *Presumable "Vostok" brand was named after the Vostok space program, which gave the initial advancement of the USSR in the Space race (as some others soviet watch brands, named to space topics in 1960s - Poljot and Raketa).The company was appointed an official supplier of watches for the Defense Department of the Soviet Union in 1965. This year also marks the creation of the well known Komandirskie ("Commander's") watch. The experience gained through development of the army watch led to the Amphibia, a stainless-steel watch able to withstand a 200 meter depth (20atm). By 1980, Vostok Watch Makers was producing 4.5 million timepieces per year. This watch is an Amphibia model made by Vostok Watch Factory. It has a bilateral rotating bezel. The black dial has shinny hour markers and date at 3 o'clock and centre sweep second hand. The case is stainless steel. The movement is 2416 automatic with 21 jewels. The watch is waterproof to 20 ATM.

My Watch Collection
Welcome to my watch and clock collection. I sometimes upgrade my collection and so I occasionally decide to sell some of these watches to make new room and to pay for new additions to my collection.
