Vostok company story starts back in 1942, when one of the Moscow
watch-making plants has been evacuated from Moscow to a little town
Chistopol located on the Kama River. Defense equipment was the only
company output during war years, but as soon as the war was over Vostok
started to make mechanical wrist watches - the main production item ever
since. In 1965 Vostok company was appointed an official supplier of
watches for the Defense Department of the Soviet Union. This year marks
the creation of the world-famous "Komandirskie" ("Commander") watch.
Military watch grew very popular even with people who were unaware which
end of the gun bullet comes off, mainly due to high precision,
excessive reliability and durability. The appearance of the watch also
contributes to its appeal - functional and clear-cut design invoked the
feeling of belonging to the tough world of combat professional. The
experience which Vostok gained through development of the army watch was
the foundation of our next special watch - "Amphibian". This impressive
timepiece in stainless-steel case endured the depth of 2000 meters -
kind of a wrist submarine. Success of the professional watches
determined the company's present philosophy - to create mechanical
watches maintaining precise timekeeping at any temperature, in any
environment, surviving heavy pressure and blows. The viability of the
chosen strategy is now time-proven. A vast multitude of people both in
Russia and abroad boasting "Vostok" watches and various international
prizes awarded for high quality and commercial success testify to this
