This is the Komandirskie Military Watch literally translated as the Commanders Watch.
This 'Naval Submarine' Komandirskie model has two tone blue & white dial with black hands and polished numbered chrome bezel & case. The submarine depicted is believed to be an early diesel electric though the picture seems very stylised.
However, at its peak in 1980, the Soviet submarine force numbered 480 boats, including 71 fast attacks and 94 cruise and ballistic missile submarines. Because the names of individual Soviet submarines are seldom known abroad, the usual practice is to refer to them only as a member of a submarine class. The most widely known class names are those assigned as code names by NATO, such as Alfa, Charlie, and Kilo.
The standard Navy emblem of the Anchor is shown in the six o'clock position beneath the seaborne submarine 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.
