Maybe you’re not too impressed with these features, but remember this watch costs less than $100 – which is very affordable when you consider the military history behind this piece. a safety and shock-absorbing mechanism when unscrewed.Now, it certainly doesn’t look like your typical diver, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t one – in fact, it features: To me, the most striking feature of this dial is that beautiful turquoise color – something you almost never see on dive watches. This Vostok Amphibia 710059 is affectionately called the “Scuba Dude” because of the drawing on the dial. On to something completely different: a Russian dive watch.Ĭall it funky, quirky, or downward weird… but you can’t call it boring. There’s something exhilarating about wearing such a great piece for such a low price… you’ll know what I’m talking about the moment you put it on your wrist! Now, don’t take my word for it: check out the thousands (!!!) of 4+ stars reviews on the Internet. Now, to provide so much value with such a low price, they had to cut some corners – like using a rattly bracelet or sub-par lume.īut this is no deal-breaker to me, because the build quality and value for money is excellent. a hacking and handing winding Seiko movement.a fully aligned 120-click bezel (you don’t always get this on affordable dive watches).200 m of water resistance (and a screw down crown).You might not like the brand engraved on the side of the case – but seriously, this dive watch is as good as it gets, with: I mean, this watch only costs 1/100th of the price of the real deal after all.īut having experienced both in the metal, I can assure you that you’ll get at least 80% of the enjoyment!
