There is a lot of iconography present on this watch but it does not
feel overloaded and I find it very pleasing to the eye, the dial is easy
to read and the hands are clear and register accurately against the
markers.
The Vostok in house 2414A movement is at the heart of this watch.
It is a stem winding shock proof non automatic mechanical movement that
has been around in one form or another since 1960. It has an excellent
record of both reliability and accuracy (within stated ranges), it has a
beat of 19800 semi-oscillation per hour and has 17 jewels, it is
manually wound with a screw down crown and does not hack.
It's accuracy range is quite wide with -20 to +60 seconds per day, but
put in context this is not far off the Seiko SKX007 at -20 to +40,
with simple regulation this can be improved massively and out of the box
it is not uncommon to have much much better accuracy, as low as +3
seconds per day. (Mine unregulated is roughly +20 to +30, but I plan to regulate this myself soon)
Of worthy note is the fact that this movement does not have a quick set
date, which is a pain if you plan to not keep it on the wrist and maybe
only cycle it in a few times a month, it also has for the novice who
has never owned a Vostok watch, a very alarming screw down crown, once
unscrewed you feel like you may have broken the watch as the crown is
exceptionally loose in the surround.
Having research this when I first got the watch I was relieved to note
that this is perfectly normal and does not effect the watch in any way.
