Vostok Commander’s watch – 17 jewels
MADE IN USSR!
Manufactured on Chistopolsky Watch Factory “Vostok”, USSR.
The company was appointed an official supplier of watches for the Defence Department of the Soviet Union in 1965. This year also marks the creation of the well known Komandirskie (“Commander’s”) watch.
Watches sold to the military were marked “ЗАКАЗ МО СССР,” meaning “Ordered by the Ministry of Defense of the USSR”. These models were sold exclusively through Voentorg stores, which catered to military personnel with identification only.
Today, these models have become sought-after collectibles.
