The media could not be loaded. I have had this watch for about a month, I love it and it continues to grow on me. It has a lot of personality packed in. The bezel looks great, although it does not click, I love the bi-directional rotation. It has a nice friction to it as well. The domed crystal adds a really cool overall effect to this watch. I love winding it up every morning, like bring life into it. The watch does gain about 25s/d. This might bother some but the watch can easily be regulated. I found a number of youtube videos showing how to regulate these watches easily at home.

Absolutely love the watch. It looks great, extremely durable, and has an interesting history at a great price. I liked it so much I ended up buying an amphibia as well. In terms of winding it’s a lot easier if you face the crown towards the ground so that there is always outward pressure as you wind.

Good watch, This is my first Vostok watch. It came with a cheap black leather watch strap and another nato strap that was worthless but I ordered another better quality strap and I was in a nice weekend watch. No convenient calendar adjustment on this watch so if you are 10 or so days behind you need to manually turn the watch minute hand the right date but I knew that before buying the watch. Otherwise it functions great and very satisfying to hand wind. Cannot beat the price for a well manufactured reliable time piece that requires little maintenance.

I love this watch. I get complimented on it often. It's accurate, but you do have to hand wind it every day or two.

Winding is clunky, watch just feels cheap.Setting the date is just terrible… I don’t know if mine was broken out of the box, but I don’t think so as the instructions gave this method of “shortcut” to set the date… you have to turn the hour hand to 12, then back to 8 to move the date one position… REALLY? That’s just insane. I had high hopes but this one is going back

Nothing to dislike here. I think it gains a couple seconds per day, but since you need to wind it daily...that doesn't matter. I found out at work that the acrylic crystal is very scratch resistant. I'm thoroughly pleased with this purchase, as this watch is accurate and we'll built. It's the Russian equivalent of the old mechanical Citizen...if batteries become hard to get, then I'm confident that I'll have a good track of time.

According to the description this watch comes with a Zulu strap, but mine came with an extremely thin nato strap. With the slightest tension the buckle would pop through and I almost lost the watch altogether from this. I wonder if they will see this review and send me a worthwhile strap so I can actually wear this watch and give a proper review.

Cheap automatic Russian watch. Bracelet is not adjustable FYI so that’s a major bummer.
