Soviet-Russian Military Watches
Military Surplus and Commemorative Items

RUSSIAN AND SOVIET  COMMEMORATIVE MECHANICAL WRIST WATCHES BY "VOSTOK" FACTORY.
Chistopol watch maker "VOSTOK" (EAST) started back in 1942 when one of the Moscow watch-making plants was evacuated from Moscow to little town located on The Kama River. Defense equipment was the only company output during war years, but as soon as the war was over they started making mechanical wrist watches - main production item ever since. Yet, they never backed away completely from military past - the company was appointed an official supplier of watches for the Defense Department of the Soviet Union in 1965. This year marks the creation of the world famous "Komandirskie" ("Commander") watch. Military watch grew very popular due to high precision and reliability. 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 professionals. The violability 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.
