Comment

Vostok watches, produced in Russia, are icons of reliability and robustness in
the watchmaking world. Known for their ability to withstand extreme conditions,
these watches are cherished by both collectors and enthusiasts. Their history
dates back to the Soviet era, during which they were developed to meet the needs
of both the military and civilians. In this article, we will explore in detail
the identification codes used to describe the movements and cases of Vostok
watches. For convenience, the notation ABCDE/FGHIJKH is taken from the site:
netgrafik.ch.


UNDERSTANDING VOSTOK WATCH CODES

Russian/Soviet movement and case codes follow a specific format: ABCDE/FGHIJKH.


ABCDE

 * AB: Movement diameter in mm.
 * CD, CDE: Soviet movement specification. For more details, refer to the table
   at the bottom of the page.


FGH

 * FGH: Case variation. Each combination of numbers represents a different case
   design or style.


I

 * I: Case material. Here are some examples from Vostok models:
   * 0: Stainless steel and other metals without plating.
   * 1: Chrome plated.
   * 2: Gold plated.
   * 3: Gilded (at least 5 microns).
   * 4: Colour coated.
   * 5: Synthetic, polymer, rubber.
   * 7: Titanium alloy.
   * 9: Glass, crystal, ceramics, marble.


JKH

 * JKH: Handset. Each combination represents a specific type of hands used on
   the watch.


CLASSIFICATION OF VOSTOK CASES

The table below categorises the different cases used in Vostok watch models. The
information is organised by case code (FGH), case material (I), watch model, and

CASE MATERIALS

Vostok watch cases are made from various materials, each with its own durability
and aesthetic characteristics:

 * Stainless Steel (0): Offers exceptional resistance to corrosion and long
   durability. It is the predominant material for Amphibia models, known for
   their robustness.
 * Chrome Plated (1): Primarily used in Komandirskie models, providing a shiny
   finish and good corrosion resistance.
 * Gold Plated (3): Found in some Komandirskie models, giving a luxurious and
   refined appearance.
 * Titanium Alloy (7): Lightweight and highly resistant, used in models like the
   Amphibia for increased durability.
 * TiN (Titanium Nitride) (9): Known for its extreme hardness and scratch
   resistance, providing a distinctive golden finish.


CASE SHAPES

Vostok watch cases come in various shapes, each with a unique design to suit
different tastes and aesthetic preferences:

 * Tonneau: An elegant, barrel-shaped design.
 * Octagonal: An eight-sided design often associated with robustness.
 * Carre: A square or rectangular shape offering a classic look.
 * Round: The most common and versatile shape, suitable for any style.


MAIN MODELS

 * Amphibia: Famous for their water resistance and robust construction, these
   watches feature cases in stainless steel or titanium alloy. Originally
   designed for the Soviet naval forces, they have become popular among divers
   and adventurers.
 * Komandirskie: Inspired by military style, these watches, though not
   officially used by the military, are available in chrome plated, gold plated,
   and TiN versions. They are known for their classic design and reliability.
 * Generalskie: These watches also feature a military-inspired style but lack
   evidence of official military use. They often include models with chrome
   plated cases.


CONCLUSION

Vostok watches perfectly combine history, engineering, and design. The diversity
of cases, in terms of materials, models, and shapes, offers enthusiasts a wide
range of choices. Whether you are a collector or simply a watch lover, Vostok
models with their unique characteristics and reliability make an excellent
choice. Their history and continuous evolution make them a fascinating topic for
anyone interested in horology.
