Vostok | Komandirskie Signal Corps Commander Mechanical Watch | 296 Series

I put a brown leather band on this and have been wearing it daily for the last three years. It’s a little fast, and every two weeks I reset the time back a minute or so. Wind it daily. The chrome has worn slightly on the wrist side, but I love this watch. And I love the story behind the factory.

I love the looks of this watch! It looks much better than the photos give credit. It seems to keep time accurate enough to satisfy any schedule you might have. I love the winding and yes the crown is loose but its designed that way. Put a little downward pressure on it in position 2 and it winds just fine. I will be buying other styles

I own quite a bit of watches and I see myself going back to this one quite a lot. It’s definitely one of my favorite pieces and for the price you’re getting the most value for your money. Original Vostok mechanical movement isn’t bad you just have to be careful with the winding. Always read the instructions that these watches come with every watch is different and it ensures longevity. I love the face and aside from what most people say I like the original leather strap also. Very well made

My first Komandirskie, and my first screw down crown ... encourages me to slow down and ponder the times while I'm setting it. Very accurate. I'm exceedingly happy with this purchase.

Received the watch within 4 days of ordering. Comes with the orange box with paper directions and everything. Great quality. This is my first Vostok watch of many!

Long Live Russia!!

I have one of these, it’s a decent enough watch, I bought it before Russia changed into the land grabbing aggressor it is now. I would not buy anything made in Russia now unless they decide Stalin is dead and aggression is not cool.

I would definitely reccomened although the strap is a bit weird overall worth it
