The watch was manufactured by the Vostok Chistopol Watch Factory (Tatar Autonomous SSR, now Republic of Tatarstan).
In excellent condition in terms of both appearance and precision of movement. Our 24-test showed no noticeable deviation. The gilt is slightly worn off where it touched the wrist. The crystal shows mild scuffing, mostly to its high point The watch has been serviced professionally, judging by the markings left by the repairman on the inside of the screwback..
The Komandirskiye series was launched in the mid-1960s by order of the USSR Ministry of Defense. Variations of artwork on the dial reflected various branches of the Armed Forces, whose officers the watches were meant for. For a long time, the Komandirskiye watches were not available in general retail stores.
Funding by the Ministry of Defense ended at the very end of the 1980s but the Vostok Chistopol Watch Factory continued manufacturing them even after the collapse of the Soviet Union.
