Product Details

This Vostok mechanical wristwatch is a classic Soviet-era timepiece produced in the USSR during the 1970s–1980s. Vostok was one of the primary watch manufacturers in the Soviet Union and produced durable mechanical watches for both civilian and military markets. The dial is marked “Восток” (Vostok) and “17 камней”, which translates to 17 jewels, indicating the jeweled mechanical movement used to reduce friction and wear. The watch features a sub-seconds register at 6 o’clock and a date window at 3 o’clock, a slightly less common configuration for Vostok watches of this period. The cream dial has developed a warm vintage patina, with applied gold-tone Arabic numerals and small green lume plots around the dial. The gold-tone hands complement the dial and case. The caseback is stamped 2605, referencing the movement family used in this watch. The surrounding Russian text includes: Противоударные – “Shock protected” Пылезащитные – “Dust protected” The dial also reads “Сделано в СССР”, meaning “Made in USSR.” Specifications • Brand: Vostok (Восток) • Movement: Mechanical, hand-wind • Jewels: 17 jewels • Movement family: 2605 • Era: c. 1970s–1980s (Soviet era) • Case: Gold-tone plated case • Dial: Cream dial with applied Arabic numerals • Crystal: Acrylic • Functions:  • Hours, minutes  • Sub-seconds at 6  • Date display • Country of manufacture: USSR Condition Vintage pre-owned condition with visible wear consistent with age.
