- Is the Vostok Amphibia 420059 a real dive watch?
- Yes. It is rated to 200 m with a screw-down crown and rotating bezel. The case design uses water pressure to tighten the seal, a feature Vostok developed in the 1960s.
- Does it have an automatic movement?
- Yes. The Vostok 2416B is a mechanical self-winding movement with overwind protection and 31 jewels. It has no battery and runs about 31 hours on a full wind.
- How accurate is it?
- Vostok rates it at -20 to +60 seconds per day, which is looser than most modern watches. Expect to reset it every few days.
- What crystal does it use?
- It uses an acrylic crystal. Acrylic resists shattering but scratches more easily than sapphire or mineral glass, though light scratches can be polished out.
- What is in the box?
- The watch on its stainless steel bracelet, typically with a Vostok paperwork card. Box and extras vary by seller, so check the listing.
- Is it good for a first mechanical watch?
- Yes, if you accept its quirks. It is affordable, robust and easy to live with, but the loose crown and acrylic crystal surprise buyers used to quartz watches.
