Key Features
- Automatic Self-Winding Movement: Powered by the VOSTOK 2416B caliber with 31 ruby jewels, this movement ensures smooth operation and longevity. The mechanism winds itself through natural wrist motion, eliminating the need for battery replacements. With a 31-hour power reserve, it keeps accurate time even during periods of inactivity.
- 200m Water Resistance: Rated for depths up to 200 meters (20 bar), this watch is suitable for swimming, snorkeling, and recreational diving. The screw-down crown enhances water protection by sealing the case against moisture, ensuring internal components remain dry under pressure.
- Shock-Resistant Design: Features an anti-shock balance system that protects internal components from impacts, ensuring accurate timekeeping even during physical activity or outdoor adventures. This makes it a reliable companion for hiking, travel, or daily wear.
- Interchangeable Straps: Available with steel, leather, nylon, or 5-ring ZULU nylon straps, all designed for quick release. This allows easy customization to match different occasions—from formal wear to rugged field use. The quick-release pins make swapping straps simple and tool-free.
- High-Visibility Dial: The matte ocean blue dial features luminous metallic hands and markers, enabling clear time reading in low-light or underwater conditions. A bi-directional rotating bezel adds functional utility for timing dives or events, enhancing its practicality for water sports.
- 40mm Stainless Steel Case: Polished stainless steel construction offers a balanced blend of strength and elegance. The caseback is also made of stainless steel, reinforcing durability while showcasing the movement’s craftsmanship. The 40mm diameter provides a comfortable fit for most wrist sizes.
- Authentic Russian Heritage: As an official supplier to the Soviet and modern Russian Defense Department, VOSTOK brings decades of military watchmaking expertise into every timepiece. The original “B” logo on the dial pays homage to this storied legacy.
