Vostok Watch Makers, Inc. (Russian: Восток; literally meaning "East") is a Russian men's watchmaker based in Chistopol, Tatarstan, Russia. The company produces mainly rugged military and amfibia mechanical watches. It also makes clocks and watch movements for other watch brands.
History
The Vostok Watch Makers company was founded in 1942 when one of the Moscow watch-making plants of the First Moscow Watch Factory was evacuated to Chistopol, a small town located on the Kama River in Tatarstan. Only defence equipment was produced during the war years, but as soon as the war was over, the company started making mechanical wristwatches. In 2006, Vostok Watch Makers began marketing another line of watches branded "Amphibia".
Despite the introduction of the new lines of Komandirskie and Amphibia, the "classic" models (mostly designed in the 1960s and 1970s) of these lines were still in production (as of 2021).
