This Vostok is Too Clean

(Not my pictures)

I enjoy Vostoks. That is, I enjoy them with the right expectations. They are Soldier/Sailor-proof, and feel accordingly.

But, at least superficially, this 170548 PAMphibia hits different.

This looks like a watch I would genuinely enjoy wearing and not out of some stubborn commitment to supporting the budget-beater.

I do find Vostoks caseback system to be top quality; maybe even #1 out of any other brand. I just like how it's such a simple solution with such an effective result. That is watch design/engineering at its finest.

And who doesn't like an in-house movement if not for anything else other than to satisfy the inner watch-nerd?

I'm 100% adding this to the collection.

I'm thinking a juicy retro razor bracelet will pair nicely with its retro style.

I like it, it has the dial of a Panerai and I love the case shape 😍. What are the dimensions?

·

I like it too! I think Vostoks are cool in general.

·

Not used to see such a classy Vostok. I’d gladly replace my scuba dude model for this one.

·

That's the Vostok you pair with caviar & vodka.

Very nice.

When a Panerai designer gets captured by the KGB🤣

I have one and it wears well but not on the awful OEM strap. I thought it had died recently but managed to bring it back to life by tweaking the movement’s regulation a bit. It is built like a tank though

Panerai called, they want their dial back😉

To me it looks like the bezel has popped off. Other than that, quite like the clean looks.

·

Ah the PAMphibia 👌👌

·

It’s so clean, beautiful

·

I enjoy mine 😉
