This is the Komandirskie Military Watch literally translated as the Commanders Watch.
This 'Naval Destroyer' Komandirskie model has two tone blue & white dial with black hands and polished chrome bezel & case.
Depicted on the face is a Soviet Navy Destroyer believed to be a Project 61M 'KASHIN MOD' type Bol'shoy Raketny Korabl' (BRK; Large Rocket Ship) at sea. The six ships of this type, modifications of 'KASHIN' class ASW destroyers (BPK), were successors to the 'KILDINs'. They were meant as the "light" part of a rocket ship (RKR/BRK) squadron. Their main role was to 'shadow' US carriers in the Mediterranean, so they could rapidly eliminate the US flattops in case of war. Their rear-facing anti-ship missiles allowed them to launch at the carriers while steaming away from US forces; it was hoped that their high speed would let them escape counterattack. However, it was generally thought that their careers would have been very short and very interesting, had they ever performed their intended role.
The standard Navy emblem of the Anchor is shown in the six o'clock position beneath the seaborne destroyer finishing off a wonderful timepiece
designed and manufactured especially for Russian Military personnel. These manual wind watches, 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
