Hi folks,
On sale today is a rare Vostok likely military issued Naval diving watch made somewhere in the 60s.
It is rated 300m, with the interesting Russian Cyrillic fonts on dial and case back.
Works great, and it is equipped with the handwinding movement calibre 2209.
It is 100% original and in superb condition. Not polished at all with the nice original brushing details on the case.
If you google this watch, you will not see more than 10 examples surfaced so far and all are in the good hands of a collector. It has been speculated that there is a total number of 200 ever made. This condition by far is one of the best looking example. You will not likely see another surface for sale anytime soon.
Here is the watch:
