VOSTOK | Komandirskie Russian Army Commander Classic Military Mechanical Wrist Watch | Fashion | Business | Casual Men’s Watches | 171 Series

1.) The watch is beautiful and well finished. 2.) I checked for 24 hours and it is accurate minute by minute. I have not checked how many seconds it is +/- but I know that if it is not accurate we can open the back and adjust the watch using a tiny liver present there. 3.) Wound movement runs for around 42 hours. 4.) Strap is not high quality but it can be used. I am wearing it to office where I work as an Engineer for a multinational bank. 5.) Case diameter - 40mm, lug to lug - 44.45 approximately 6.) Bezel does not click but it can be used to time. It is metal on metal friction based bezel. 7.) Screw down crown. 8.) Plastic crystal. 10.) Available for around 43$ on Meranom.com but there delivery will take much longer. I love this watch for the history associated with it and the fact that it comes with the original 2414A movement which was designed around 1965.

Update #2: after canceling my refund, the seller has stopped responding without sending me a replacement. It's been 5 weeks since the refund has been canceled and I've even had Amazon reach out on my behalf, but still no response. As far as i can tell I've been scammed. Be cautious if you find yourself in s similar position as described below. Update: The seller replied to my inquiry a day after I wrote this review, and offered to send a replacement. It seems like USPS lost the package, according to the updated tracking information I was provided with. I have since canceled my refund and am more than happy to own two of these watches. Since my only complaint was not the seller's fault, and I love the watch, I bumped this up to 5 stars. I ended up ordering two of these watches. The first one was purchased in the middle of October, and as of January 20th has not shown up. The only tracking information I have received is that is was picked up by the carrier on the 6th of November. I tried reaching out to the seller to see if they could give me a shipping update, but after a week of waiting for a response I've now requested a refund. The second watch was purchased in December and delivered only a few days later. I had noticed the Amazon listing promising a 4 day delivery time and jumped on it since it also said there was only one left in stock. Not sure what the deal was there, but I'm glad I did. I really really like the watch that was actually delivered. It gains about 20 seconds a day, which is fine for me. I work in a hazardous environment where any spark hazards could cause an explosion, so I needed a mechanical watch to wear on the job, but I didn't want to spend a ton of money and had read that vostok makes reasonably accurate cheap watches. This is exactly that. For what it's meant to be, I like everything about it. It also seems reasonably robust. In my average work day it pretty regularly gets knocked up against any number of things, and though impacts seem to cause a momentary pause in the movement of the watch, it picks right back up. Bottom line is that this is a great watch for the price, if it shows up.

I've found the nostalgia of a mechanical watch from the cold war era, (the product internal workings was designed to work after a nuclear exchange) 1965 tech. There balance of loose tolerances and workmanship is beyond compare. It keeps excellent time, real head turner. Winding it, setting day, date, time takes some getting use to. The old school Soviet features adds to its charm. The instructions are in Russian so I recommend you Google an English translation online. For the money, its great value.

I'm a little surprised, but I like this watch. I like the semi-domed crystal. Winding it, once I got the hang of it, is kind of fun. The band is actually decent and the hands and dial all come together to overcome the effects of the somewhat cheesy bezel to make for a pleasing, easy to read effect on the wrist. The engraving off the Imperial eagle on the back is also a nice touch. It seems to run fast, but that's fine. It's no problem to adjust the time when the crown is unscrewed for winding. All in all, a good $50 watch.

Un peu cher ( mais bon difficilement trouvable en europe).

I love this watch. I bought it after a friend told me about an old KGB watch he had, and how reliable and eye-catching it was. I had a look at various classic watches by Vostok, and this particular model caught my eye. This is the "Komandirskie" model by Vostok, and came all the way from Russia, so it did take a couple of weeks. It is indeed good looking, and grabs attention. The watch is mechanical, and the small leaflet said it is also "self-winding", although it is best to wind it a few times each day just to be sure. It did take a little while to figure out how to set the time and date, but after reading some reviews on amazon.com, it was easy. The dial is luminous, and you will notice it after being out in the sun. I kept the strap that came with this watch, although I did need to punch another hole for a tighter fit. This is a great watch. It keeps good time. It looks good, and is certainly worth the price. It does feel and look more expensive, and I would recommend Vostok watches to anybody looking for a classic, and unique timepiece.

No se puede tener mas por menos.

Suprised by the quality for the price I paid. Strap quality could be better but again that is more of a feedback can't take any stars away due to the price you have to compromise somewhere. But the watch itself is great quality! Will be great as an every day watch! I have significantly more expensive watches but this one will be a favorite for sure.

Very good and practical watch. Arrived in perfect condition
