In a Soviet department store, when one buys a Vostok, the salesperson rings up your sale, but then a KGB agent comes to place it on your wrist, reminding you that "You are being watched!"
I love my amphibia! Got one with a shark mesh bracelet with butterfly clasp, and its a good all around watch. I've worn it going swimming, and it's slim enough to fit under shirt cuffs when on a bracelet (NATO makes it too thick though). I don't love that money is going to Russia, but honestly it's a great watch, especially for 100 bucks!
“Cult like”… I don’t think dropping a $100 for a robust watch is cult like, cult like is more of your typical overpriced $50k+ watches that, sure are reliable, but those have more of a cult like following
I felt like it was a prerequisite to own, so I picked one up! Of course, I had to open it up and service it. Simple, functional and fun to wear for $79 😂
Very cool watch! It is sad to see that the Russians get such a bad rep for the current events but it is also understandable. I wish for peace and love between nations and wish that we can all just sit down and enjoy watches together
I have two Vostok's and love them for what they are. But then again, I love watches with interesting back stories. They're super fun watches that don't break the bank.
For the money yes I been wearing a amphibian submariners watch for three years every day I’m a roofer, it runs 1 minute fast every 6 days. But it’s a tank.
There're more russian watches. Actually There's a Rocket or Racketa(Ракета) watches, Chaikin watches and st. Petersburg watch factory watches that sometimes costs more than swiss ones.
The Steve Zissou version is one of my favorite watches and I wear It far more often than any of my Rolex. It is the best reverse snob watches ever. Cheers!
I have an 090 with a tank dial on a cut to size shark mesh, the 090 is the government case, it's the only 19800bph movement. I ordered alot when the rouble crashed for 25 dollars each. My old 090 was like +1 - 1 but maybe from me regulating it now it's not that accurate but accurate enough. I have 2 suba dudes for sale a 090 traditional date and no date new QC has got to better before invasion not sure about now. But a watch with a service interval of 10 years... Monster seals, no click bezel 3mm thick acrylic it can take 800 to 900m
I got one in autumn 2020 my first mechanical watch I have had many adventures with it but now it needs a new crown gasket and caseback gasket it is going into the watch box for good unless I can source them from outside Russia for a reasonable price
@drawincode1800 for shure Yes Yes Yes Honestly, I'm using the watch for the last 3 months, taking shower , washing dishes, and working with the watch, and so far the only problem I noticed is the mineral acrylic has some scratches, and because is a mechanical watch once every week I need to adjust the time, just this, otherwise is a excellent watch for the price.

Я из России и эти часы считаются хламом по 1 простой причине- на заводе отвратительный контроль качества, чтобы они работали, их нужно после покупки нести к мастеру на репассаж. Возможно экспортные версии в США и Европу проходят лучший контроль качества. Теперь немного о часах: 1. Безель крутится в 2 стороны, это конструкторский бред. Но я в своих восток поставил безель для обратного отчета минут, теперь меня это устраивает, так как допускает 2х сторонее движение безеля 2. Восток не может в отсутствие оборудования делать стекла из сапфира или минерального стекла, т.к нужно вытачивать новый корпус, а на это денег нет, т.к. нужна модернизация завода. 3. Вы не купити нормальный красивый циферблат и стрелки на эти часы, т.к. у завода нет станков для производства 3х гранных стрелок и циферблатов с накладными метками. 4. Эти часы для тех, кто хочет купить не часы под старину, а реально часы, сделанные по старой технологии. В России эти часы покупают или детям или самые бедные люди или те, кому нужны простые механические часы. Я удивлен, что этот хлам ценится в мире. Я владелец часов Восток Амфибия в корпусе 090. Я сделал им репассаж, заменил безель, циферблат и настроил точность. Часы идут +-3 сек в день уже более года, в целом они мне нравятся. У меня есть tissot, seiko, andriatica, но восток нравятся больше всех и это часы на каждый день, простые и надежные Наверное в этом их магия, написав этот текст я только сейчас понял, что это очень надежные, практичные часы с огромным вариантом дизайна

So stop buying american and european products then. USA alone has invaded many countries and killed millions of people. I bet that didnt stop you? Dont be another brainwashed zombie that believes everything in the news and go and enjoy life. It's just a watch bro, chill out
You act like Ukraine is so innocent, war is extremely complicated and Russian war crimes do not excuse Ukrainian war crimes. Buy a good product, not politics, your $100 does nothing to help or hinder Putin- ie, if you like the watch, feel free to buy it, if not, thats fine

@@DracoBonezNo, I was blunt, not rude. It's your being overly delicate that inhibits you from recognizing the difference. Regardless, Teddy didn't suggest anyone go and buy anything. This video was informational for those who love watches and the history of watch making.

My first mechanical watch I have had many adventures with it but now it needs a new crown gasket and caseback gasket it is going into the watch box for good unless I can source them from outside Russia for a reasonable price
I support Ukraine first and foremost, (even by buying leather watch bands from there on eBay) but all you haters talking about Teddy having poor taste for spot lighting this brand need to chill. Vostok the company isn’t responsible for Pootin’s actions. And they deserve to be talked about like any brand. There are certain German brands out there that could garnish some flak but we need to appreciate horological history from the sidelines.
Vostok delivers watches to the russian military, of course they are involved and profit from the war. And Teddy already presented this watch in the past so I have no clue why he thought digging it up now was a good idea.
@@JD-rt5sd I don't care about either government. The human/child sex trafficking happening within that government is just one thing that Ukraine as bad as Russia. Then factor in that places like the U.S send billions of dollars to "help" but the vast majority of it ends up being laundered back into pockets of politicians of both Ukraine and U.S. instead of it going to good use for the United States citizens or Ukrainians. You have everyone trying to push this war for political & profitable gains which will only lead to innocent life lost or even WW3, and everyone loses there. Leaks show that U.S Troops are already there... Illegally. Don't even get me started on Ukrainian government killing their own people in mass genocides. The best possible outcome is for the innocent to flee to safety and to let the corrupt fight each other and everyone else stay tf out of it, other than to help citizens. The other outcomes are hundreds of thousands of lives lost on the low end; billions lost on the high end. Putin is a psycho with a degrading mental state almost on par with Biden's and will, hopefully, soon be dead. If the world pushes him to go nuclear then a lot of people are going to die.
I don’t know if the Russian military needs mechanical divers wouldn’t surprise me if they do but they most likely are making Quartz sports watches for the Russian military same with Rataka,Poebda or any of the last of the Russian watch companies.

Buy a good product, not politics, your $100 does nothing to help or hinder Putin- ie, if you like the watch, feel free to buy it, if not, thats fine
Yeah how about boycott the Israeli and American products too?
These fall in the realm of invicta. Crap but guys buy them anyway.
I hope these go down in price a lot because of the political situation - I'll buy a couple when it drops low
Once beloved, now it's a Russian Z watch. No thank you.
USSR watch
I can’t see when this video was made, but I hope it was before the brutal Russian war of aggression against Ukraine.
$100? Sweet
$130
Its like 60 in europe
88$ on Meranom web site
I paid 50 euro 10 years ago, it was and still is insane value for the money
@@krvav1 I live in Europe and it’s double the price.
Probably should have turned on the news Teddy... Good way to lose subscribers. Plenty of other brands need your help.
Oh for god sake, give it a break. This is a watch channel not a political channel.
@@Mike-In-O-Town THANK YOU. These people are pathetic
@@Mike-In-O-Town Im not a politician. There's right and wrong. You have your opinion I have mine. Problem is you have to be rude to get your point across.
@@DracoBonezNo, I was blunt, not rude. It's your being overly delicate that inhibits you from recognizing the difference. Regardless, Teddy didn't suggest anyone go and buy anything. This video was informational for those who love watches and the history of watch making. Take your emotions off your sleeve and enjoy learning about a watch and some of its history that many people have never heard of.
@@Mike-In-O-Town let's agree to disagree and respectfully move on. We are clearly two different people with different values guiding us.
Agree, for now there’s nothing that is marginally good about russia
My first mechanical watch I have had many adventures with it but now it needs a new crown gasket and caseback gasket it is going into the watch box for good unless I can source them from outside Russia for a reasonable price
I am watch fan, but sorry NOW I do not want anything from RuZZia!!
I support Ukraine first and foremost, (even by buying leather watch bands from there on eBay) but all you haters talking about Teddy having poor taste for spot lighting this brand need to chill. Vostok the company isn’t responsible for Pootin’s actions. And they deserve to be talked about like any brand. There are certain German brands out there that could garnish some flak but we need to appreciate horological history from the sidelines.
Vostok delivers watches to the russian military, of course they are involved and profit from the war. And Teddy already presented this watch in the past so I have no clue why he thought digging it up now was a good idea.
Ukraines government is equally as evil and corrupt as Russias. How about everyone stays out of that dumb war and just let them kill each other 👍👍
@@srm158how about you learn the difference between the invader and the defender?
@@JD-rt5sd I don't care about either government. The human/child sex trafficking happening within that government is just one thing that Ukraine as bad as Russia. Then factor in that places like the U.S send billions of dollars to "help" but the vast majority of it ends up being laundered back into pockets of politicians of both Ukraine and U.S. instead of it going to good use for the United States citizens or Ukrainians. You have everyone trying to push this war for political & profitable gains which will only lead to innocent life lost or even WW3, and everyone loses there. Leaks show that U.S Troops are already there... Illegally. Don't even get me started on Ukrainian government killing their own people in mass genocides. The best possible outcome is for the innocent to flee to safety and to let the corrupt fight each other and everyone else stay tf out of it, other than to help citizens. The other outcomes are hundreds of thousands of lives lost on the low end; billions lost on the high end. Putin is a psycho with a degrading mental state almost on par with Biden's and will, hopefully, soon be dead. If the world pushes him to go nuclear then a lot of people are going to die.
I don’t know if the Russian military needs mechanical divers wouldn’t surprise me if they do but they most likely are making Quartz sports watches for the Russian military same with Rataka,Poebda or any of the last of the Russian watch companies.
Cool watch. We stand with Russia!
My watch collecting rabbit hole only gets deeper 😂
Thank you for these videos btw
Blocking this channel now, promoting Russian products? Really dude?
