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.

You know this is a beautiful watch and I was excited after a long wait to receive it. Unfortunately after winding the watch it ran for a few minutes and stopped. I reached out seller but recieved no response, so I opted to return and have it refunded, did not feel the return and the wait was worth it. This is not my first Vostok and the quality can be hit and miss and unfortunately there is no service for these charismatic time pieces. Hope the war ends soon and better supply chains become available.

Really cool watch, draws a lot of attention. I will get a face protector band for it. Keeps excellent time. Came with a bar of the BEST chocolate EVER! Got here fast, a month ahead of schedule. Bought it from Boctok, straight from the factory in Chistopol. You can check it out on google earth, interesting place. I am already looking at the K-35 LOL I`m addicted! If you want a time piece that doesn't break the bank and is fine quality and is different , these are it. There are many models of the Komanderskie. Check out the Amphibian as well. Has a screw down crown, I wind it once in a day or day and a half. This has to be the best watch for the money around. Be warned, after you wear it a while, you may begin speaking in a Russian accent. Go ahead, Comrade, purchase one! You won`t be disappointed.

This watch keeps good time and looks good. It is extremely lightweight and wears like a 36-38mm. The dial font is quite small. The nato strap provided is the lowest quality, so you will need a replacement band. The one negative is that the lug width is 18. This is way too skinny. A minimum of 20, and preferably a 22 would make this watch significantly more appealing. That said, you can’t beat the price for an interesting hand-wind watch.

But a Seiko instead. This watch doesn't automatically wind, which is a likely defect from my watch only. The stem isn't well defined from time and date. Infact I could not find the setting to change the date. This is not my first automatic watch and I feel for $78 your money would be better spent on a Seiko for $30-$50 more. I'll be returning this one do to it being defective and I'd rather try Invicta for a cheaper watch.

I will be the first to say this is a lot of watch for the money. My only problem with the watch is it has to be wound twice a day. It keeps great time, the nato band is high quality, and it looks great.

So I just received the watch today. For the price of $50 I'm extremely pleased. The quality/price ratio is very high in my opinion and that's why I'm giving it 5 out or 5. There's a lot of value out this mechanical watch at this price. If it's like my other Vostok it'll be pretty rugged & keep decent time. I have an older Vostok that's at least 12 or 13 years old it still keeps good time after being neglected for the better part of a decade. Don't expect Rolex quality materials for $50. It's more like the Timex of Russia except that Vostok still makes watches in Russia. Plus you get cold ward kitsch. Some observations: - The lume on this is quite good in comparison to my other Vostok - perhaps that's because it's new. - It has a quick date set feature when you go past 12 to set the date you can back up to 8 then go past 12 again to go to the next day. That's nice. - Date changes at instantly midnight - a nice feature. - I'm pretty sure it has acrylic crystal but that's OK as scratches can be buffed out. - I'm not sure what the strap is made out of, feels like pleather to me but it's comfortable and suits the watch. - The crown is screw down. - Bezel rotates in both directions. - The semi-domed crystal can caused distortion depending on the viewing angle but it's clear when viewed straight on - The dial is clearly printed and lettering is sharp - I don't have a tool actually measure but it appears to me that second hand is running at 3hz (6 ticks/sec). - The specs say 40mm but I've got two different calipers that measure 39mm. It's shipped from Russia and took about a month. It came with Russian chocolate which is very good. I would highly recommend for someone looking to get a mechanical watch that's got a bit of history and doesn't cost too much. 4/21/17 - update: So I've had this watch for a few months and I do like this watch. It does keep pretty good time but sometimes I neglect to wind it so it's hard to compare against time.gov. It's been fairly durable with the exception of the buckle which I got caught on an edge and the spring bar popped out. That could probably could be a better metal. I've put a v rubber strap with a locking clasp on it so that won't happen again. My only 'complaint' is that it wears small - most of my other watches are 42mm or greater. But I don't think you can go wrong with this.

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.

muito bonito, mas veio com problema. enviei de volta e correu tudo normal

Es muy bonito este reloj, es mi segundo vostok, reloj honesto sin pretensiones

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.
