Vostok | Sea Captain Amphibian Automatic Self-Winding Russian Diver Wrist Watch | WR 200 m | Amphibia 710615 | Fashion | Business | Casual Men's Watches

Such a pretty watch, especially with its nautical theme. 3 things I would highlight about it though (points 1 & 2 are the reasons I gave it a 4/5 and not a 5/5): 1. (Con) The bracelet it came with (I bought the version with the metal bracelet, see pictures) is pretty ugly and feels cheap, so I immediately bought a pack of 8 NATO straps (one of which is the blue and white one in the pictures) and I think it's a huge upgrade to how the watch looks and feels. The original metal bracelet is so bulky and wide; it was too much for the watch. So I think I would only buy Vostoks with NATO straps from now on. Liked it with the metal bracelet, absolutely love it with the blue and white NATO. (NATO straps for this watch are 22mm) 2. (Con) It's a fingerprint magnet. It's a beautiful and glossy watch, which comes at the price of having to wipe off fingerprints from its case and bezel every time I wear it or use the dive bezel. This isn't really a PROBLEM, it's just annoying, especially because it's really EVERY TIME I touch it. 3. (Pro) It is the first time I use a NATO strap, so I am still unfamiliar with how a NATO strap moves, or "behaves" while putting on a watch, so while I was putting it on with the NATO for the first time, I accidentally banged the watch extremely hard on the glass table I was sitting at. The watch landed crystal-first. I was sure I was going to turn it around to reveal a shattered crystal, but there wasn't a single scratch. The pictures with the NATO strap were taken after that accident; not 1 scratch. It's a solid watch; any other watch would have not survived that bang, or at least, not left without a single scratch.

This is my First Vostok Watch, and it surpassed expectations! In a world of Mass Produced, Machine made Goods flooding the Market, this one felt special because I knew it was made in the Vostok Factory in Chistopool, by real Russians. The Sailboat Dial reminds me of Nautical Experiences I've had and Late Relatives who were in the Navy, so it also has a classic, sentimental Quality that I couldn't pass on. If you've red this far, Buy One!

Friends, thank you very much for the watch! This is the second watch I take as a gift! For those who are going to buy. I want to share information - "Space is the last frontier." In 1975, cosmonaut Georgy Mikhailovich Grechko was twice a hero of the Soviet Union. He wore an Amphibian watch during his flight on the Soyuz 17 spacecraft. Then he wore them for another 29 days in space aboard the space station. After the trip, he wrote a letter of thanks to the Vostok watch factory, telling how much he liked this watch, and also distributed the watch to his friends. So if you need a watch that has been in space, but you don't want to pay $1,000 for it. Amphibian, It's a ticket!

Very cool watch. It’s a Vostok so I know it is going to last a long time. The watch arrived in excellent condition, looks great, and it is exactly what I wanted/expected.
