Hi all, here is a bit more information about the brand for those who have not heard of it:
Vostok-Europe is a Lithuanian-based manufacturer; they are a separate entity from Vostok of Russia. All watches are designed and manually assembled in Lithuania by a team of seven master watchmakers. The size is a bit larger than modern trends, as they are designed and tested in extreme conditions; every Vostok-Europe watch has a water resistance of at least 200M.
They also build every watch around an inspiration, so there is a story to go with each watch. In this case, it is the Expedition North Pole 1, which was a 9 month floating ice station that left from the North Pole in the 1930s and did scientific research over roughly 3,000 miles in the arctic. Hope this helps!
