I've been interested in adding a Vostok to my collection for quite some time, but every time I went to add one, I've always found other things to save for that I wanted more, and that a Vostok purchase would only delay. Now, given the current state of geopolitics, I don't see myself grabbing a Vostok any time soon.
Brilliant Vostok collection! That blue one you are holding is particularly cool👌You seem to have done an excellent job of covering the entire watch spectrum with your choices 👏

Thank you so much! The blue one is what was referred to as the “Luna Dude”. It was a concept designed by Ole Dokka in one of the Vostok groups. It nearly made it to full production with most of the parts being produced, however Meranom pulled the plug right before. I was lucky enough to purchase a donor watch (a Neptune) and have Meranom swap all the parts over before they shipped me the watch. Now, all the parts are NLA and the few assembled pieces are selling on eBay for STUPID money! The watch was initially intended to sell for under $200…..I’ve seen going for close to $800! I really appreciate the comments, I have a very eclectic taste, but I enjoy every watch I have!!

They’re definitely quirky little watches, but when I bought mine, they were very reasonable for a mechanical watch and so many designs to choose from! Hopefully one day things will improve and we will be able to get them from Russia again, but for now it’s drastically curtailed my watch purchasing. There are US sellers, but they have a limited supply and charge almost double what it cost in Roubles even with conversion rates!
Nice collection, vostoks have a great heritage,quirky designs and are not too much money plus they have many cool models and you have great selection there.👍👍👍
This is a really cool collection all across the board. I have never owned a Vostok but I really like many here. The Aquaracer Chrono looks particularly juicy.
