I'll post my Komandirski '89 as soon as I get a Nato strap for it (probably worn by a god or a cat, in honor of recent tradition).

Patrick, post that vid again! The Vostok watches have some impressive engeneering history behind them, the Amphibians are built like T-34s and they're dirt cheap.

They are quite a few members that have Boctok on the Omega forum. I wonder if they can share some information on Boctok via this thread for the benefit of other forum members.

One of my favorite Russian(USSR) watches

I quite like Russian watches. It was only when doing a little research on Sekonda I discovered they were all re-badged Russian watches. I quite like the Raketa 2609.HA movement for its simplicity and accuracy.
The Luch 2209 is one of the nicest 😀

Since I can't compete in the game of Ed White's, I've got my Alexi Leonov. This one dates for early 1965, within the batch that he might have worn for the first space walk
Cheers,
