Eaglemoss Military Watches Collection.

The Vostock Watch Company in Chistopol Supplied the Soviet era military from the 1960s and with “Komanderskie” watches through military suply stores through the 80s.
After the break-up of the soviet union factories expanded production outside of normal military use and new Vostock watches are easily purchased today.

The Strap ends are folded over vinyl and are a possible weak point.

However due to the short Lug length there is only a small amount of clearance to the spring bars and fitting a stronger Nato or Zulu type strap is tricky.

Genuine Vostocks are actually much smaller than the EM version would suggest at around 40mm.

One is never enough. Even soviet era vintage watches in good working order can be had for a reasonable cost, there are hundreds of case and dial variations, and collecting them can be very addictive.

There is a dedicated Russian watch forum on IWL where you can get good advice on buying.
