Bought this on a trip in Budapest in 2004. Been sitting in a box in my house ever since. Thought I’d do some research about it. Love the dial!

Two Amphibias, two Komandirskies.

Wearing the Vostok Sheikh Shamil with original CCCP leather strap today.
What about you guys?

Modded 650.
Civvie Ratnik in a 650 case, smooth bezel and crazy horse. Absolutely love it, earth colour leather monster.

These are the amphibias that I like a lot. Bought it from scuba dude store. Very happy they sent it so quickly. These are models 120812/120811

I also bought a komandirskie 81694G, but it's strap seems to be fitted in reverse and is not of good quality and I'm not a 100% convinced I like it but I'm thinking maybe I'll change the strap and like that model better? Also, it's a mechanical watch and I'm yet to get used to the idea of daily winding it.

Lastly, so glad I came across this community and sub reddit and very happy I discovered Vostok.

Just obtained my latest Komandirskie, the same model worn by Cosmonaut Gennady Padalka during the Expedition 9 ISS mission.
