Vostok Watches History and Information

The history of Vostok watches dates back to 1942 when one of the Moscow watch-making plants was evacuated to a little town Chistopol located on the Kama River in the central region of Russia. All manner of Defence equipment was made at the factory during the war years. As soon as the war was over, however, they started to make mechanical wristwatches - the main production ever since. In 1965, the factory became an official supplier of the Soviet Union Department of Defence. This year marks the creation of the world famous "Komandirskie" (Commander's) wristwatches that demonstrate the highest standards of precision, reliability, and resistance to unfavourable conditions. Nowadays, Vostok wristwatches are awarded various international prizes and prove very popular both in Russia and abroad for a combination of high precision, reliability and modern design.
