VOSTOK | Men’s Komandirskie Tank Commander Russian Mechanical Military Watch | 306 Series

I'll keep this review nice and sweet.What I like:- It's a very nice size for my smaller wrists. This may bug people who don't really like small watches and especially people with large wrists.- Lightweight piece because it's made out of painted brass. Again this may bother some who like a little bit of heft on their wrists.- Love the red star and tank design on the dial plus all of the Cyrillic writing. Really gives off the feeling like it's an exotic piece.- Hand-wind. I can totally understand why many dislike this but I personally love it. I think this quirk of the watch adds to the appeal of the design's original purpose as a field watch for Soviet era commanders. Plus it is a nice addition to the morning routine.- domed crystal. very very charming.- pretty accurate. I've seen a lot of reviews that say the ones they've gotten become inaccurate fast but I've had mine for a week now and it's keep excellent time.Dislike/kind of annoying:- While the crown is very unique, it is a little difficult to operate. No quick date function, so you have to wind all the way around or back and forth from the 10 and 2 positions.- the black leather strap it comes with is nice in that it is rough and I'm sure it will last a while, however it's not too comfortable nor very stylish.- while the design of the dial is charming, it does give off the appearance of being cheaply made.- you can definitely hear it tick away.In conclusion, I think you're getting this watch not for any special feature or movement but for it's history and uniqueness. I would highly recommend this watch for any enthusiast or collector. I hope this helps!

The watch is amazing! Thank you so much for it. I just received it today and works really well, I did have to adjust the bracelet to fit it, but other than that, I love it. I highly recommend this watch. Thank you!

I absolutely love this watch. The strap wasn't the best, but a $15 Nato and it's great-o!The crown is a little odd to get used to, but now I love it... just think of having to slightly keep pulling it out while you're turning it, just keep a LITTLE pressure.But this little thing gets worn as much as my fancy smancy high dollar watches.

Very nice old school watch. Manual winding. Keeps perfect time. Rugged but do not get it wet. I purchased an aftermarket bezel that accents the watch perfectly. If you want a traditional military watch then Vostok is a great choice.

The watch is nice I got it for work nothing crazy but the band sucks the Buckle is super cheap I think it’s made from tin foil, if you want this watch plan on buying a different band!

I picked up this watch for $50 on a bit of a whim. It actually a great size for small wrists. Took a bit to figure out the winding but I am a fan. Not a huge fan of the strap but I will switch this out.

Throw away the strap and add a nice zulu or nato to it, and you have yourself a very functional beater watch.Don't be fooled: the dial on this is looks like cheap cardboard. Do not expect some dark-horse high-end Orient Bambino or Seiko 5 killer.This is a mechanical watch made to have fun with, and enjoy owning for what it is:A very cheap, die-hard, tool with a nice story and well-deserved cult following.Would highly recommend this as a watch for your son if you want to get him into mechanical watches.
