Restoration of a Soviet Military Watch - Vostok Komandirskie U-Boat - Russian Cal. 2414

This time i´am restoring a Soviet Military Watch.
It´s a Vostok Komandirskie U-Boat and it´s powered by the Vostok 2414 hand-winding movement. It beats at 19800bph and the lift angle of the balance is at 42°. The inscription on the bottom of the dial says: "caenaho b cccp" (made in ussr) so it´s made somewhen in the 80´s.

The movement doesn´t work at all and it´s in a pretty bad condition. The crystal has many scratches, the case and bezel is full of dirt. The crown is loose and the bracelet is missing. The luminous color on the hands has come off and some of the chromium-plating on the crown is starting to come off as well.

I need to disassemble the whole movement, clean all the parts and re-assemble it with some fresh oil. The barrel arbor of the mainspring is broken so i need to replace it. I´am also replacing the spring bars and the crown.

After applying some fresh luminous paint on the hands and polishing the crystal the watch can be assembled again.

I hope you liked this restoration, if so, like, comment and subscribe ;)

I love how he treats each piece almost reverently. So great to see people taking something old and bringing it back to full functionality.

I have two Komandirskie’s, a tank commander, and a submarine commander. They are amazing fun watches, especially as I only paid £25 pounds each for them. Both of them keep excellent, accurate time. Thanks for yet another superb video.

There is just something SO satisfying about watching a venerable old watch like this being given a second life through skill, care and attention.
In a throwaway automated consumer world, these videos are like a little bit of heaven. THANK YOU!

That was the most calming thing I’ve “watched” in a long time. Nicely restored

Marvelous restoration! Excellent camera work and music too! You made me laugh when you put up that sign looking for the spring that flew away!! Really enjoyable. Thank you.

Каждый раз когда смотрю ваши видео, я замечаю что пока смотрю, дышу через раз!!!

It's like putting grains of sand together. The click of gears going back together is satisfying. Fantastic job!

This isn't a job, it's definitely a calling. The amount of patience, and pursuit of perfection is astounding.

Вот такому мастеру я бы доверил свои часы 👍

[dalehamlin]

These videos are a form of artistry seldom seen anywhere else. The filming, the music, all perfectly presented along with genius level watch repair to beat this

I have this exact watch! my grandparents gave it to me as a gift when I was a child when they visited Russia and almost 40 years later it still keeps great time. Very cool to see the inner workings. Fantastic work!

I'm glad you restored this little gem. Vostoks are the coolest watches, with all the different dial images they have. This one had that really beat up crystal, but under it was that beautiful deep blue dial. You transformed it into a collector's piece.

I have to say the flight distance and caution sign were AWESOME!!!

I bought one of these watches when I was on holiday in Bulgaria in 1989.I eventually gave it to my son who still wears it.

[SouljuzZ]

This watch is still being produced, the factory is located in my hometown, Chistopol)
Exellent work👍👍👍

Bought a few of these dirt cheap in Budapest in the early 90s. Always wanted to have them restored and give to me kids. Now I need to! It turned out amazing. Great job!

If money wasn't an issue, I'd do this. This is art, thanks for sharing.
