Vostok Amphibia Cal. 2209 USSR 1980s Men's Mechanical Wristwatch 18 Jewels

Description Vostok Amphibia Cal. 2209 USSR 1980s Men's Mechanical Wristwatch 18 Jewels

This Vostok Amphibia Cal. 2209 comes from the Chistopol Watch Factory and belongs to the 1980s USSR production era. It is a serviced men's mechanical wristwatch with a stainless-steel case, central seconds, and a fresh green dial fitted during restoration.

The Look

The green dial gives this Amphibia a crisp, military-leaning character without feeling overdone. Baton hour markers keep the layout clean, while the steel hands and central seconds hand give a straightforward, functional read. The dial carries the Vostok logo along with English-rendered inscriptions for antimagnetic, 18 jewels, and Made in USSR. A chrome rotating bezel frames the acrylic crystal, adding the familiar tool-watch presence collectors expect from a Soviet Amphibia.

Inside the Case

Inside is the Vostok Cal. 2209, a mechanical movement from the Chistopol Watch Factory. The watch has been fully serviced, including disassembly, cleaning, ultrasonic washing, assembly, lubrication, and regulation for timekeeping accuracy.

The replaced dial and bezel make it best suited to a buyer who values a serviced, good-looking wearable Amphibia over strict untouched originality.
