Definitely one of the best value watches that I've looked at on the channel so far. Not everyone is into Vostoks, but this one is a little more subdued than most! Pop it on a mesh or a NATO, or pretty much anything other than the stock bracelet, and you have a rock solid GMT diver for less than a ton. Can't be bad, eh? Cheers, Jody

This channel has changed my whole thinking on what true value is and how clever marketing makes people part with their money just so that tennis players endorsing their products can pick up their £5million...Even as a working dad on a working dad's wage I can truly enjoy watch collecting and ownership with some pride and without spending crazy bucks. Not saying a Brietling wouldn't be nice to own though😜

My first Vostok. First impressions weren’t great. My view to buying this watch was if I don’t like it I will sell it on. In fact I tried really hard to not like it. But once out of the box and with one of my NATO’s on it and yeah. I like it a lot. 👍

[@markw-2025]

Now two more russians are on their way to my house, should I say more? 😎

I want to thank you, I was a bit of a watch snob you however have taught me to value the others out there and the micro brands have been an eye opener.

[@ichris2011]

The waterproofing engineering that went into vostoks designs is complete genius I don’t understand why more companies don’t do the same. The two piece ringed caseback allows the watch to become more watertight as pressure is applied to it as the caseback plate seats deeper into the gasket. Same with the crystal. I dont know at what depth it would fully fail but I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s much greater than 200m

[@sammuller2176]

Chris kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJCyY6yMrt1oZ80 In this Video its tested up to 50 bar (500m) without any Problem.

[@thenerdling1]

I think the max someone tested a vostok to was 850ish meters

[@ElijsDima]

The early swiss Supercompressors also had the same principle of water resistance by pressure; the problems they encountered was that WR was rather spotty at surface-level, when there's no meaningful pressure to speak of. The Amphibia kinda solves it by applying pressure via the screw ring.

[@sammuller2176]

Elijs Dima it’s not made for swimming, its made to dive from one nuclear submarine to the other (sovjet-smiley) 😂

Domed caseback makes the watches thick, separate caseback nut is IMO uncecessary, unless you're opening the watch all the time.

I kept the bracelet and was surprised how comfortable it was. This particular bracelet is the best of the folded ones from Vostok.

[@brinx8634]

I have far too many inexpensive watches, but the best value among them are: 1) 1963 Seagull PLAAF chrono. 2) Parnis Auto GMT. 3) Vostok Scuba Dude. This is right up there with them so, I may need one. Damnit, here we go again. It's probably good that Meranom closed right now. Good review, Jody.

[@maciekkubat6972]

Wow. I just got mine (was lucky to check the meranom once there was a short restock) and I have to say you did not praise that watch enough. IMHO for the price it is remarkable how crisp the dial is and how consistent is the design. Ditch the bracelet, put it on ruberr or on engineered bracelet from Ali and you have a great conversation piece. It has a real cool&unique factor combined with just stunning quality for price. Yes it has rough edges but it is what it is and that's great.

[@chrispenn715]

Coincidentally I ordered an Amfibia Classic last week from Meranom. Strangely, their mobile website was significantly cheaper than their desktop website! Around £50 on the mobile site delivered vs about £70 on the desktop site. Looking forward to playing with it.

I got this one a week ago directly from Moscow. It is my 4. Vostok. The other ones, all Amphibias, I got in 1989, when a new one costs 30 Deutsch Mark, in our days about 15$. They are working great and I still like them very much. The new GMT has nearly the same movement. I like it. A Rolex couldn‘t be better 😃.

These are by FAR my favorite vostok design. I'm not a huge fan of many of their dials which has held me off from grabbing one. But this... this is entirely my speed. I wish they had more field/pilot style watches in their sub 100$ us line because I really do dig their stuff. I want to get one of these and maybe try my hand at copper plating the case. I think that would be pretty unique looking. I love the passion and lack of pretentiousness in your vids Jody, by far one of my favorite watch channels.

I love the size and feel of my amphibia, picked it up for 20 dollars last time in russia, its a pretty modded old watch and I think its really neat with a rounded off bezel in my case, makes it slip easily under a cuff, like to use it as a beater along with my casios. I keep it on the scratched up bracelet that came with it, sure it pulls the hairs on the arms. It wants to see if youre tough enough to wear it.

Great review of a really amazing bang for buck piece. 200Metre Diver GMT for $80! Out of it! I like the layout of the dial, especially the small seconds subdial at 10, and the markings on the dial are great. Wonder if these could be modded with decent lumed hands and a fully lumed bezel? Then it would be super hot!

[@buddybeetle]

I have this exact Vostok. Bough just before the pandemic hit. I absolutely love it. It’s my work watch and daily beater. I adjusted and monitored the timekeeping and it’s now as accurate as my Rolex Explorer. The lume is clearer than the Explorer, easier to read.

That one I owned for 15 years, used it as a field watch and after some polywatch it looked like new, well sorta new. As you said - fantastic, basic, tick tock watches for the people. I will never buy a Rolex (I’m just too cheap to own a watch worth more than my Jeep), but I can’t say I won’t buy another Vostok! Thanks for the video!

[@S-Ltd1000]

Got mine last week. A lot of people around the world are having pandemic related delivery problems from Russia but if you are in Europe it will only take about 3 - 4 weeks. It's the same case as the amphibia 670 but a brushed finish. Mine is running at about +5 seconds a day so pretty good. Bracelet is actually not bad by Vostok standards but I put mine on a super engineer. GMT function works very well as per the original Rolex design and no date makes it an excellent choice as a grab and go automatic. A great watch for £65 delivered.

Check out 650541 for a 24hr movement or a 020706 for a nod to one of the soviet classics.. both of which are in my collection and in my opinion two of the best dials available on a modern Vostok outside of the more expensive SE range.

[@recoilrob324]

I just got one of these and have it on my wrist as I type. In two days it's kept almost perfect time...within a couple seconds according to the computer time and after a reasonable break-in I'll put it on the timing machine and see how close it really is. The stock band seems to be fine once it's tweaked a little....the clasp wouldn't lock securely as delivered but a little attention with a pair of pliers (it IS Russian after all...got to treat it like man) and it locks down tightly and is comfortable. Only had to take one link out and move the anchor pin one hole to the middle position for a perfect fit. Going to dull the sharp edges with a stone in the next few days...nothing radical just put a bit of a bevel on them which will make the watch very friendly to the hands. The rotating bezel did trigger my OCD a little but I found a very thin black viton O-ring that fits around the bottom and snugs it down enough that it won't turn on it's own but is still easily adjusted. Got to say I'm loving the watch and have often found Russian engineering to be first rate...very clever and intelligent people over there and while you might be giving up a little 'sophistication' in some eyes there's no denying that they build things 'Strong like Bull'.

Love Vostoks, i have two. One Neptune GMT modded into a 120 case, brushed top with polished sides, pepsi bezel and glass caseback (ruski tudor bb lmao), and then a standard movement in the neptune case which i use as my beater. have had that thing with me in the pool, freezing cold rivers in the Vic High Country, working on cars and while doing other hands-on type stuff at work - it even had water ingress after i forgot to tighten the caseback properly and 1.5 yrs later is still running strong. I cant kill the bloody thing. If you want a budget watch that has horological significance, a Vostok is certainly the way to go! Moreover, modding adds to their charm and you can get something truly unique, which cant be said of many other brands (at least in the eyes of the purists). Also have an Orient Ray II with sapphire crystal + ceramic bezel/submariner style bezel and yet both Vostoks still get a significant amount of wrist time.... Love em.

The lume on mine for some reason seems to last through the night (on the hands and bezel). Mine is second hand (though it looks brand new) and came with a leather strap that actually looks more expensive than the watch! I love the unique placement of the sub seconds dial at 10 O'clock The assymetrical look of this reminds me of the layout design of old school Doxa divers as the Doxa Logo was at 10 o'clock.

Hey Jody, great video as always. I purchased one of these Vostoks about a year ago. An old school GMT for that price, I just had to check it out. Unfortunately I only had the watch for about a month when the small seconds had fell off. I kept the watch in my rotation until the crown separated from the movement and hand winding no longer worked. I will take it apart at some point and see what I can do to fix it but you never know what the quality is going to be with these types of watches. Additionally I have the Parnis GMT , also over a year old , and so far no problem with that one. Keep up the great work sir. Cheers!

[@philspencelayh5464]

As you can't adjust the GMT hand it is not really needed. If they had just fitted a bezel with 12 hours on it you could turn it until it lines up with appropriate hour on the normal hour hand .

[@Wilburnator]

I paid about twice that for the Vostok Komandirskie K-34 Dual Time. It's the same movement with a bit nicer finishing, a much nicer case with a display back and much nicer case finishing, domed mineral crystal, and an internal rotating bezel that operates by a second crown at the 8 o'clock position. To me, it was worth the extra cost to get a nicer , more substantial watch. I have an Amphibia that I paid $75 for, and I wanted to like it, but I just can't. It works perfectly well, but with the chrome plated brass case and bi-directional friction bezel, it feels like something bought out of a vending machine. This one seems much nicer for the $80. It's impressive that they can even sell it for that and make any money

The one I really want as of right now at this moment is the Amphibian Classic 670921. Because 1.) It doesn't come with a bracelet, 2.) It doesn't have color so it's pretty versatile with different attire (which is one of the top things I look for before buying a new watch), 3.) Has a date complication (which is also one of the top things I look for before buying a new watch), 4.) Has a stainless steel case, 5.) Has 200M of water resistance, 5.) It's only $75, 6.) And it still has the Vostok charm!
