RUSSIAN AND SOVIET COMMEMORATIVE MECHANICAL WRIST WATCHES BY
"VOSTOK" FACTORY.
Chistopol watch
maker "VOSTOK" (EAST) started back in 1942 when one of the Moscow
watch-making plants was evacuated from Moscow to little town located
on The Kama River. Defense equipment was the only company output
during war years, but as soon as the war was over they started making
mechanical wrist watches - main production item ever since. Yet, they
never backed away completely from military past - the company was
appointed an official supplier of watches for the Defense Department
of the Soviet Union in 1965. This year marks the creation of the world
famous "Komandirskie" ("Commander") watch.
Military watch grew very popular due to high precision and reliability. The appearance of the watch also
contributes to its appeal - functional and clear-cut design invoked
the feeling of belonging to the tough world of combat professionals. The violability of the chosen strategy is now time-proven. A vast
multitude of people both in Russia and abroad boasting "Vostok"
watches and various international prizes awarded for high quality and
commercial success testify to this.
