Russian Wostok Watch

Russian watches have become rather popular among collectors because of their low cost. By Swiss watch standards, however, Russian watches could be considered to be "unfinished." The pictures below are of a Wostok wristwatch (1999) from the Wostok Watch Factory in Chistopol, Tatarstan, about 500 miles east of Moscow. It has a colourful dial (or face) and a shiny chrome-plated brass case.
