Vostok Europe entered the market in 2003. Based in Vilnius, Lithuania, they produce high-quality and durable watches, intended for adventurers and extreme sports enthusiasts. Vostok Europe watches are designed to withstand extreme conditions and are an excellent choice for those looking for a reliable watch for their outdoor activities.
The company was born out of a collaboration between the Vostok watch factory and Lithuanian entrepreneur Rolandas Bučinskas, a passionate extreme sports and adventure enthusiast. It was created by combining technology, precision, design, and functionality.
The Vostok Europe watch collection is very diverse, with models ranging from diving watches to aviation watches. The brand strives to use high-quality materials in their watches, such as stainless steel, titanium, bronze, K1 crystals, silicone, genuine leather, glass, and stainless steel straps. They also have unique features such as shock and water-resistant transport cases and a helium release valve. They use Seiko Instruments (Seiko Epson and Citizen Miyota) automatic and quartz movements as well as tritium components produced in Switzerland.
Nuclear Submarine, Titanium, Chrono
Vostok Europe watches have a sleek and modern style, with a wide range of functions such as chronometers, dates, and alarms, making them ideal for sports and outdoor adventures.
One of the most popular lines of the brand is Energia II. The watches in this collection have a large size (48 × 17.3 mm) and their cases, as in the case of most lines, are made of stainless steel, bronze, or titanium. They feature a unidirectional bezel, a screw-down crown and case back. Their K1 crystal is 3.5 mm thick and has an anti-reflective coating. The illumination is from tritium, they have a water resistance of 30 atm and a helium release valve for pressure changes.
Another noteworthy collection is called Space Race, which unlike the Energia II, has its elements illuminated by super luminova and a completely different and more discreet design.
Energia II, Bronze, 48 mm, Tritium
The Nuclear Submarine, Engine, Energia II, Lunokhod-2, and Anchar watch lines are distinguished by including a leather strap, a rubber strap, and a small tool for changing them. All of them have an impressive illumination of their hands and indices thanks to tritium, which is a very popular material due to its ability to produce constant and durable light without the need for an external power source, its safety, and its long life span.
In contrast, the Almaz, Rocket, Space Race, and Expedition lines have super luminova illumination and, although these models only include one strap, customers can choose whether they prefer it in rubber or leather, or if they prefer to combine their watch with a bracelet.
The brand has a strong presence in the extreme sports and adventure community, sponsoring athletes and teams that compete in sports such as motorcycling, rock climbing, mountain skiing, and skydiving, among others. The company also organizes events and challenges for its followers and customers, cementing its commitment to the adventurous community.
Vostok Europe is an excellent choice for those looking for a high-quality and durable watch. The passion for extreme sports and adventure, together with its dedication to precision technology and distinctive design, makes Vostok Europe an excellent choice for any extreme sports enthusiast.
