2)Rare Soviet men's wristwatch VOSTOK, which were produced by Tschistopol Watch Factory in 1970s. Vostok means 'EAST' in Russian.
Tschistopol Watch Factory located in city Tschistopol, on the Kama River in the central region of the Soviet Union (800 km east of Moscow) and was founded in autumn of 1941 when evacuation of Second Moscow Watch Factory was began.
During the years of II World War factory produced watches for usage of navy, aviation and tank industry. After the end of II World War, in peace time factory mainly produces mechanical wristwatches, which become it's main production.
In 1949 the manufacturing of the watch 'Pobeda' (Victory) with a side second hand began. The "Pobeda" movement was based on the well known "Lip" R26. The name, design and characteristics of these watches were personally approved by Iosif Stalin himself.
On the international Milan`s exhibition in 1952 year Tschistopol wristwatches first got wide confession and popularity.
In 1965, the factory became an official supplier of the Soviet Union Ministry of Defense.
1968 - the manufacturing of the first Soviet diver watches AMPHIBIA stats. During `60s and `70s AMPHIBIA watches could be purchased only in special stores reserved for officers.
