Vostok Europe, the watch brand signifies much more than just watches telling the time – these are timepieces built and designed to represent the adventurous spirit. The Vostok-Europe brand emerged in the 1960s when the Russian Defence Ministry’s official watch supplier began manufacturing iconic wrist watches like the “Komandirskie” and the Amphibia – a dive watch that had 200m water resistance capabilities. Incidentally, the brand name “Vostok-Europe” was inspired by the Russian Space program.
Vostok Europe watches are designed to survive the most extreme conditions, be it the highest mountain peaks, the depth of the seas or the freezing conditions of the North Pole. A Vostok-Europe timepiece on your wrist means you are ready for anything. Men’s watches with a difference that’s what a Vostok Europe is all about. Each of the brand’s watch collection is inspired by a story describing Russian achievements in the area of space, the deep seas and science.

I was looking at the Vostok Europe Gaz-14 Open Heart Automatic Men’s watch on the Citywatches.ca website. It looked beautiful, it looked classy and stood out as a distinctive timepiece.
