Here is a quick video comparison between Vostok Amphibia and Vostok Komandirskie. Both watches offer great value for money but which one should you buy? I hope this video will help you decided which watch to get (or at least which watch to buy first).
The two watches I'm comparing in this video are Vostok Amphibia [ref 120656] and a Vostok Komandirskie [ref 211288].
Enjoy the video!

Thanks for making reviews of affordable and great watches. I'm tired of other reviewers raving about their latest Rolex. For us poor bastards, this is perfect! Which one gets the most wrist time ?
They are starting to creep up in price.
It's one thing to see pictures of each seperately on their website, it's another to see them held and described side by side. Thanks for doing this! Very nicely done :)
I bought a Komandirskie a while back thinking it might give me a taste for an Amphibia. Turns out the Komandirskie satisfies me pretty well and I haven't had any impulse to go Amphibia. I like the workmanlike aesthetics, it's durable, reliable, and I've always liked the way plated brass watches patina. The only downside I've found is that once you eliminate the more juvenile graphic designs they offer, there aren't many left that appeal to me. I'm not into jets or tanks, and have enough problems with my own country's patriotic symbols. Don't get me started on Red Stars. Lastly, I'm not all that fond of bulky, oversized watches that seem to be the way they all are these days. The Komandirskie is about the limit for me. Anything bigger is no go.
Cheap enough to buy both direct from Vostok before the friggin war broke out. That’s what I did
I've been raiding the cheaper aisles on ebay, getting some absolutely lovely Amphibia's and Komandirskies, have also a couple of Raketa's now and an Olympic celebration Slava. I paid £17 delivered for a very early 1980's Amphibia that keeps astonishingly good time for something pretty old.
What I'm wondering is this: you have people selling both of these. I've seen a whole variety. Many of the dials just don't look authentic, they look as if they're fakes. I mean, how on earth do I know if it's a real Komandirskie/AMFIBIA or if it's a fake? Anyone can buy a movement, dial, hands, put them together and say, Hey it's a real Vostok! But it isn't! So how do you know if you're getting the real thing?
I have Amphibia...I like amphibia
Excellent video. These watches are simply awsome! As a mechanical engineer, I appreciate clever design, functionality, durability and low price - all of which these watches exhibit. My brother have bought me Amphibia and I've got Komandirskie from my nephew. These wonderful gifts drew my attention to Vostok and it's vast range of very nice and practical models.
Both - the best! Respect from Russia!
A NATO strap on a Russian watch....you should be a diplomat.
The good thing about both models, is that both are waterproof. I have been swimming with my Komandirskie with no problems at all. I bought it first, then of course had to have an
beautiful watches oleg, love these watches. the simplicity and history behind these watches is remarkable.
Thank you for the review. Great tough easily adjustable movement.
Hi Oleg & Bond, and thanks for a fun & entertaining video! As a big fan of Vostok, I actually have several of each, but I think your overall advice & breakdown of features for each will help perspective buyers. Both have a similar, but endearing quirkiness, yet are different enough to appreciate those differences. I say adding both to your collection for approx. $100, seems like a good option as well!
Hello Oleg! I have many Vostok and I would not trade any of them , to me they are ultra cool and I'm waiting for my current Vostok to be delivered that I just ordered 2 weeks ago the K-34 ,cheers to you and
I have modded/parts assembled 3 Amphibia over the last couple years and recently 2 Komandirskie, specifically 020706 and 650541. Both these Komandirskie feature brushed stainless steel case and crown and stainless steel bezel with what I believe is an acrylic insert. Automatic movements (24h 2431 in the 650541) and both 200m water resistance. Top quality and looks on both of these watches, nothing less than their Amphibia cousins.
I recently purchased 2 Komandirskes. Both were stainless steel cases with 200m water resistance, with the domed acrylic crystal and the classic caseback. One was a 65 series and the other was a 02 series.They are also Automatics. I find them very cool. Meranom had them for $78 US.
I recently purchased a Komandirskie paratrooper. I love the green dial and just the overall look of the thing. Cant wait to use it.
After watching this a few months back I just recieved a Vostok Amphibia in the mail, mine has the same face of your paratrooper Komanderskie but is housed in the Amphibia model. Really happy with it, looks fantastic on a Nato strap, this will see a lot of wrist time. A great watch, thanks for your recommendation.
