Восток альбатрос

Another cheap $20 Vostok pick up deserving of a refresh and a couple of good looking photos.

This one from a seller in Ukraine. 

The Vostok Albatros has a 38mm case (12mm thick incl. domed acrylic), 47mm lug to lug and 18mm lug width  

It has an in-hous Vostok 2409A movement, (17-jewel no-date manual wind), and runs at 19800 beats per hour with a power reserve of approx. 38 hours.

Introduced in the late 1970’s this one has to be late 80s...? (Note the "сделано в СССР" ["Made in the USSR"] signed dial).
