The Vostok Amphibian is one of the most iconic Soviet tool watches ever produced, designed in the 1960s to meet the needs of the Soviet Navy. Measuring 42mm, this example carries the bold, functional aesthetic the Amphibian is known for, with a rugged stainless steel case, rotating bezel, and a screw-down crown ensuring durability and water resistance. Powered by a manual winding 17-jewel movement, it embodies the mechanical reliability that made Vostok a trusted name in military and civilian circles alike.
The dial, finished in deep navy blue, features luminous Arabic numerals, bold hands, and a date complication at 3 o’clock. A red star above 6 o’clock underscores its Soviet military lineage, while the Cyrillic text and “Made in USSR” marking root it firmly in its Cold War heritage. Paired with a practical fabric strap, this Amphibian remains as purposeful today as when it first left the Chistopol Watch Factory.
