I Hate this about the Vostok Amphibia!

This annoying feature really is a huge pain.

Once you have set the time into PM, you roll the hour hand first clockwise between (approximately) the 8 marker to the 1 marker and then back to (again approximately) the 8 marker. This changes the date. If it is
not working you are trying to do so with the watch in AM or you are not moving the hour hand enough within his range. This works with every one of the 11 Vostok’s I have with a date function. Hope this helps.

No. Quick date change hack = wind the hour hand to 12 o clock position, then back to 9/8 o clock position, then back past the 12 o clock position for quickish date change ;)

Even with the 12-8 reversing hand trick, it takes some time Good foreplay is never annoying, isn't it 😅?

Even with a quick set date function, I never set the date on my watches.

It is a waste of time. I can check the date on my phone.

My automatic watches are to tell time, look cool, and make me happy.

Setting the date never makes me happy.

There is a quick set date actually. It is in the manual по Русский

[julianrichards]

I have one. Annoying yes... but wind past midnight to change the date... then wind backwards from midnight a bit... then wind past midnight again to change the date... repeat as necessary.
But yes, still annoying.

This is feature. It's not annoying. It demands your attention every day or else you regret it.

[reesebroekhoven]

The date is easy once it changes you stop turn time backwards to 10 1030 then forward again and so on. Takes literally a min to change 15 days

[ChapeauRouge]

Does that mean that you can't damage the movement by setting the date at the wrong time then?

[berkocan]

I think those amazing dial designs makes you ignore this disadvantage.

[grigthefirst]

Actually I just checked the instruction for my Vostok and it has dedicated page to describe quick date set by moving hour hand 12-8-12. Did you tried that or minute hand 0-50-0, when you had your date wheel broken?

[b.vonschnauser]

I was not aware of no quickset on this one.

[galetteS]

It was pretty common, for a 60's watch 😅 my aquastar 60 has this feature

[GlennJag]

I don't even change the date on my other watches with a quick set date feature 😂

This why I look for a "no date" Vostok

[Wannabearborist]

Put the crown in the chuck of a drill 😂😂😂 that’ll save ya some time lol

[HAYDNBBH]

How do you get these in the UK? Can only find the vostok euorpe store

[BlogofTheWst]

I have vintage Swiss watches with the same feature.

Not True…

To change the date unscrew and pull out the crown as if setting the time (there is only one click out).

- turn the hands to midnight in a clock wise position and slowly move past midnight until the date clicks to the next day number.

- Now slowly turn the hands backwards (anti clockwise) until the hour hand moves just past the 8 ( 12, 11, 10, 9, 8)

- Now turn the hands foreword (clockwise) and as you reach just past 12, 1, the day will click forward again one number.

- Repeat until you reach the correct date at 12 midnight. Now set the time (for am move up-to 12 noon. For pm, continue moving to the desired time (the date will not change at the first passing of 12 (noon) but will automatically change when moving past 12 midnight).

- OR just keep turning the hands clockwise until you reach the desired date.
