Vostok "driver's watch"

Been after one of these for a while, but they were hard to find. Got this second hand on eBay for £60.

I call these wonky watches. Looks great of course but not sure I could wear one BUT never tried so who knows!

I was of the same mind... but I felt I had to give it a go as the aesthetics have called to me for a while.

That will look great while you're driving your Lada... 😉

Love mine. 👌🏻

Cracking buy👍👍

Beautiful watch!

BTW, Soviet-built Ladas were sold here in "Kanuckistan" (Canada) back in the 80's ... there were lots of 'em on the go back then, mainly 'cause they were inexpensive. The Lada Niva 4x4 was practically unstoppable in the snow!

They must've all rusted away however, as I haven't seen one in a few decades! LOL!

Great looking watch and glad to hear you bought it used so your money isn't supporting Russia.

Awesome!

Nice catch, I also haven't been able to find of of this for myself.

The guy I bought mine off also had a black one listed as Vostok 2403/581096

I have one of these, the blue dial version. I think this model is just gorgeous and not often discussed in social medial like other Vostok pieces. Congrats!
