Vostok Amfibia Red Sea Watch Review

David from lifestyle shop has sent this in for me to have a look at this Vostok Amfibia Red Sea.

A very bold watch that is sure to impress upon first look as well as long term. Russia seems to be churning out some amazing designs that are both functional and super cool to look at and use.

thanks for watching

cheers
Peter

Just ordered one so looking for reviews. I've just discovered Vostok and am fascinated by their heritage and history.
I think this watch is a lovely design and had to have one. Quite expensive by Vostok standards but what a looker.

Whilst not a watch I'm keen on, your enthusiasm for it really kept me watching and at least made me appreciate it.

I see you've gone down the Vostok rabbit hole. Very interesting piece!

I am actually looking to buy either this, the blue version and I also have a K-39 GMT all in my Meramon website wishlist.

I think I was Russian in a past life 👍 I currently have 5 Russian watches!

Hey Peter!
It's been great to see a few Russian pieces on the channel mate!
As you know I'm a ᴍᴀssɪᴠᴇ fan of Soviet era watches. They're miles away from the new Vostok pieces - especially size wise - but you can definitely see the DNA in the styling.
I don't have any modern Vostok but I think that might be changing soon! All my vintage Soviet pieces - Vostok, Raketa, Poljot, Strela etc. - and I've got about 15 or so of them - are tough as nails too! They're soft as on the vintage market and more than a few have real horological history behind them - like the Strela Chronograph that was worn by the Cosmonaut Alexei Leonov during man's 1st ever space-walk and the regular military issue Sturmanskie pilot / field watch that was worn by Yuri Gagarin in the 1st ever manned space flight. I've got examples of both these pieces, they aren't difficult to find and they are pretty reasonable - and tough as nails then as they are today.
Great vid again mate and these might just be the perfect summer knock-about watch!

Another excellent video. A vostok amphibia found it’s way to my home last year as well. Excellent value for the money. I love it!

[idletime]

Wahoo, Thanks Peter, Im definetly adding a Vostok or 3 to my collection asap 😇

[neelsengupta]

Never looked at Vostok before this video, I have to say I'm impressed!!

[eddieforbes]

Your videos really are my latest addiction and what a beauty this Russian timepiece is! I never ever thought I would even look down this Vostok rabbit hole and now look what you've done Pete, I'm checking online to see where I can pick one of these HELP!!!!

[erikbasil]

Well, that didn't take long! I love that you have discovered these Vostoks!

Let me suggest that you next acquire an Amphibia, of the type spelled with a "ph"... I suggest one in the 710 case. These are the original design Amphibia that dates back to 1967 or earlier. The Amfibia (with an "f") you have here is one of the series with modern designs, cases and materials that are quite nice but very much distinct from the traditional Vostok.

Cool watch mate. Thanks for showing! I reckon our channels have a few things in common (I don't mean the Aussie thing and besides that, NSW IS better than Vic LOL!)

[wizardofahhhs]

I just ordered a vintage Vostok from Ukraine and can't wait for it to arrive.

[derekshearer]

Finally a non seiko review. I love Vostok and dislike seiko. Great video....

[rgbwatches]

Very enjoyable video Peter. I’m a big amfibia fan so I’m not surprised you liked this watch so much. I love my seiko’s but I could easily end up with numerous Vostoks too. Thanks again for bringing this beautiful watch to us 👍

[dalegamble]

Hello Peter. I enjoyed your review of this watch. I own this exact watch, plus the Amfibia reef i really like both of the watches, but as we are now in the year 2023, the movements should hack. It's a let down for 2 great looking watches.

Love the Vostok watches!!! Great video

[jpdavis]

Nice shot, Peter, of the Omega on the tan strap. Getting back to Russia, I visited a Cold War era Russian Submarine, docked next to the Queen Mary in Long Beach Cal. It was on display as a tourist attraction and I heard that it was now in Australia. The conning tower was massive and there was cheap formica in the Officer's Quarters. Soviet era design, even household appliances were bulky and not that well liked by the collective. They preferred East German household stuff and of course a Swiss Watch was logically a prize possession. I had one Vostok and donated it to TGV (No BS). Enjoyed this vid. Cheers, JP
