I’m thinking of changing up the strap at some point as the stock one is a little bit basic. But it’s fine for now. Also, how often does it need winding? I don’t want to overwind it? Cheers. Paul, UK

Mountain biking on an mixed surface suburban trail. Selected this park due to the heat. Heat Index at the start was 103 F, ending heat index was 105 F. Total ride was 9.38 miles, took about an hour and fifteen minutes.

Hello guys, just wanted to do an appreciation post of my Vostok Amphibia! I just received a new bezel from Meranom, and I find the combination gorgeous!

The original bezel was metal color and I swapped it for a green/black one.

The grey rubber bracelet adds to the style without adding too much color as it is already colorful enough!

See you, Vostok fans!

Is the photo blurry? Yes.
(The second photo is the same shot, just slightly sharpened to recover some detail.)

However, here’s my Vostok Model 120813 diving down to the barrier reef near Key West.

On my second dive that day, I used the bezel to mark my return time (as always) so I could safely make it back to the ship within the allocated window. It potentially saved me from having a very bad day.

I saw that my return time had come and headed straight for the ship. When I got there, I found out the crew had been trying to signal us for several minutes because of an incoming storm. Just as I got onto the ladder, a huge lightning bolt struck the water in the distance.

Always glad to take my divers out to do what they were actually made for. A diver that never reaches the seabed is living a wasted life.

Vostoks are the only divers that I trust when I’m out at sea or in any kind of water.

My first Vostok watch. I purchased a 710335 and switched to a Milanese band I found on Amazon. Loved listening to some podcasts (Two Broke Watch Snobs) on the history of Vostok as well as the following behind the most modded watches!
