Russian Vostok Military Komandirskie Hero of Soviet Union.

This is the Komandirskie Military Watch literally translated as the Commanders Watch. We have many models of the Komandirskie for sale but we were looking for something different to bring to our customers and we think we have achieved this in this small range of KOMANDIRSKIE ANNIVERSAY MODELS.

This model is one of four in the range and this one shows a Gold Star medal which was instituted 1st August 1939, by Decree of the Presidium of the USSR Supreme Soviet. It was awarded to both military and civilian personnel for personal or collective deeds of heroism rendered to the USSR or socialist society. Recipients of this award simultaneously receive the Order of Lenin, and a Diploma of the Presidium of the USSR Supreme Soviet. The medal was made of Gold, the other parts were silver, covered in Gold. Special privileges were also granted to holders of this title. These included a pension with survivor benefits in case of Hero's death, first priority on the housing list, 50 per cent rent reduction, reduced taxation rates (in 1985 this was changed to tax exempt status), up to an additional 15 square meters in living space, free yearly round-trip first class ticket, free personal bus transportation, free yearly visit to sanatorium or rest home, as well as entertainment and medical benefits.

The Military Komandirskie watch is a timepiece designed and manufactured especially for Russian Military personnel. These manual wind timepieces, uncompromising in design, strength and durability have kept the Military on time for those important events that people never hear about!

This watch has been made by hand in Chistopol at the Vostok Watch & Clock Factory for us. We have commissioned several models that are not currently available to the general public and we hope you find some Vostok Watch design you like among the 30 plus designs we currently have available.
