Restoration of a Soviet Military Watch - Vostok Komandirskie U-Boat - Russian Cal. 2414
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 кві 2020
- This time i´am restoring a Soviet Military Watch.
It´s a Vostok Komandirskie U-Boat and it´s powered by the Vostok 2414 hand-winding movement. It beats at 19800bph and the lift angle of the balance is at 42°. The inscription on the bottom of the dial says: "caenaho b cccp" (made in ussr) so it´s made somewhen in the 80´s.
The movement doesn´t work at all and it´s in a pretty bad condition. The crystal has many scratches, the case and bezel is full of dirt. The crown is loose and the bracelet is missing. The luminous color on the hands has come off and some of the chromium-plating on the crown is starting to come off as well.
I need to disassemble the whole movement, clean all the parts and re-assemble it with some fresh oil. The barrel arbor of the mainspring is broken so i need to replace it. I´am also replacing the spring bars and the crown.
After applying some fresh luminous paint on the hands and polishing the crystal the watch can be assembled again.
I hope you liked this restoration, if so, like, comment and subscribe ;)

I cannot immagine how the first humans came up with this idea of a clock.. fascinating
I was just thinking this last night, and then imagine the antikythera mechanism was back in Greek times. Just inventing the tools to make a clock is amazing
Sundial?
I know, right? It's absolutely ingenious!
From china
The first clocks didn't have a face, only a bell to announce the hour. The word clock comes from the words in various old european languages, all literally meaning a bell. The oldest one in working order is in Salisbury, from 14th Century. The mechanism is on display there.
Marvelous restoration! Excellent camera work and music too! You made me laugh when you put up that sign looking for the spring that flew away!! Really enjoyable. Thank you.
Thanks 😉
@Олег Вещий Иди воруй.
@Олег Вещий это уже не плохо.
@Олег Вещий поскольку ты написал, что нет ничего советского, только российское. А это выражение - оборот, типо - ой, не ври.
@Олег Вещий Ну судя по последней версии винды, то да. Советская система образования (той далёкой страны), советские инженеры, которые благодаря этой системе разработали системы автоматизации, тех же часов. Так, что это страна породила продукт, его и реализовала. Современная Россия, тут ни при чём.
There is just something SO satisfying about watching a venerable old watch like this being given a second life through skill, care and attention.
In a throwaway automated consumer world, these videos are like a little bit of heaven. THANK YOU!
I have two Komandirskie’s, a tank commander, and a submarine commander. They are amazing fun watches, especially as I only paid £25 pounds each for them. Both of them keep excellent, accurate time. Thanks for yet another superb video.
Советское значит- отличное.
@@alexivanov417 почему тогда в союзе всегда искали импортное?)
@@Pacyuchina начинается. Именно по часам в СССР неплохо было, часовая промышленность была развита довольно хорошо. В некоторые годы около 60% продукции часов за год шла за границу и не только в соц. блок. Некоторые редкие модели стоят довольно дорого, по 20к долларов за штуку.

I bought one of these watches when I was on holiday in Bulgaria in 1989.I eventually gave it to my son who still wears it.
That's great 👍🏻
Communist countries made very quality goods. There were not trade wars. But there were high technical standards.

@@clinclin1240 Such cruel situation was only in Stalin's time. Every period was different in USSR.
@@skateibednet1skateibednet121 Russians have always been quite inventive when it comes to improvising things. They can built no-nonsense machines and weapons with a simple design, easy to maintain, easy to use and enormously reliable. Whether it's Lada cars, Kalashnikov assault rifles, Makarov pistols or Vostok watches, they all have one thing in common: They don't work extremely precisely, but they work under practically all conditions, even under those which almost guarantee failure of more sophisticated products.
I love how he treats each piece almost reverently. So great to see people taking something old and bringing it back to full functionality.
Yeah a interesting thing is that the company vostok still sells the movements separatly so thats also a way however it wont be the movemnt the watch came with obviously

As someone who had watch like this when i was a child, thank you for restoring this relic
If money wasn't an issue,I'd do this. This is art, thanks for sharing.
You can get entry level tools pretty cheap, and there are tons of cheap watches out there for you to -destroy- practice on. That's what I'm on my way towards.
C 139 I have one similar, it need fix can you fixed for me?
A Vostok watch in this condition you can get it for cheap as 30-40$ for the restoration, you need some parts, glass, maybe a new movement. About 100$ you can make it look like new. The problem is the same watch in good condition you can get it for 80$ and you ready to wear it.
@@bencecyprus And you can get many Vostok watches new for $100 or less.
@@Brunnen_Gee i want to try it, where to buy the tools?
and what do i need?
I have this exact watch! my grandparents gave it to me as a gift when I was a child when they visited Russia and almost 40 years later it still keeps great time. Very cool to see the inner workings. Fantastic work!
I have several Vostok Commander's that are working extremely well, never serviced since the early 70's but still going lol
I have one three. 💕
@Central Scrutinizer was it a newly made one or soviet new old stock?
@Central Scrutinizer yeah, you're right. A lot of those watches were quite expensive in the Soviet times and were considered sort of like a currency in case the economy crashes. A paper band on those vostoks is not a simulation, it's just so the watch will not tumble inside the box and scratch, by the way. I've seen some NOS condition ones, but sometimes the price is just too steep even here in post Soviet countries, especially if you add in the price of a needed service to wear it.
Anyway, it's nice to know someone else is enjoying these vintage soviet classics.
@Central Scrutinizer Yes. I think 95% of watches were sold without bracelets or straps. I believe only watches with integrated bracelets were sold with them (like vostok neptune or some women's little watches for example). Bracelets were priced also quite high and the price wasn't included, so you would choose the bracelet right at the store and do the mixy-matchy to your taste, you know.
A common solution was to just make the band yourself or with help of someone who works with leather.
Also one thing to consider: with more and more time the watches started decreasing in quality, so late 80s couldn't be compared with say 60s or 70s. I have a watch from that "good" time period and I swear if I told you it was made by some swiss watchmaker you'd believe it in a heart beat. Its clean, unlike some other watches, especially modern vostoks. It's all decorated inside and simply is beautiful.
Well, to answer your question simply, you would buy the strap or a bracelet (the latter was usually preferred for its longevity) right at the store. They are still around, actually. You can still buy those bracelets NOS or lightly used. And for some reason even stamped cheap ones feel very solid. They even had some version of a jubilee (I hope I spelled it right).
I have to say the flight distance and caution sign were AWESOME!!!
It's like putting grains of sand together. The click of gears going back together is satisfying. Fantastic job!
This isn't a job, it's definitely a calling. The amount of patience, and pursuit of perfection is astounding.
Can't believe my grandfather used to do this for a living back then. He lived in Kiev so he was working on these exact types of watches too. Beautiful restoration!
Bought a few of these dirt cheap in Budapest in the early 90s. Always wanted to have them restored and give to me kids. Now I need to! It turned out amazing. Great job!
These videos are a form of artistry seldom seen anywhere else. The filming, the music, all perfectly presented along with genius level watch repair skills.........hard to beat this channel..........!

This watch is still being produced, the factory is located in my hometown, Chistopol)
Exellent work👍👍👍
great to know, what is the price?
@@maxmagnus777 I just ordered one for 40usd. Not bad at all. Just going to 1-2 months for me to get it but that's fine. If you go to Meranom.com that's the actual store. You can get them from amazon but itll cost you a bit more.
@@FrostBlackbird hey tnx for the info, have many great years wearing it.
so you confirm that the mechanism are the same of the 80'? it's a doubt i have. the fluorescence isn't radioctive? thanks in advance for your help!
I have one but it's the 24 hour variant. I love it and would like to have a classic Russian watch too, like Pobeda
Красота! Спасибо мастеру за отлично проделанную работу! Любо дорого смотреть!

Суть в том, что когда для тебя это ново - то ты действительно удивляешься этому волшебству. Ну, а для мастера конечно же это рутина!
I'm glad you restored this little gem. Vostoks are the coolest watches, with all the different dial images they have. This one had that really beat up crystal, but under it was that beautiful deep blue dial. You transformed it into a collector's piece.
Doesn't it bother you that your "super master" disassembles the watch without even cleaning it with a brush, well, at least, so as not to get your table and tool dirty ??? Or they (the watch) before the shoot were deliberately led to this look, like - look, here she is a shit candy?
@@thomasboyle1677 And it does not bother that the watch mechanism during disassembly is impeccably clean, as if it had already been washed and assembled before shooting. Staged video. And then. Synthetic oil HP-1300 is not intended for steel-steel friction pairs, it is used in stone-steel friction pairs. The author is a good operator, but a weak watchmaker.
@@thomasboyle1677 The author does not use pre-oil oil, but expensive, synthetic oil. But it is not suitable for steel-steel friction units, the purpose of this oil is stone-steel. For steel-steel friction pairs, semi-synthetic oil is used, any competent craftsman must know this. Something like this. And it doesn't matter how much the watch costs, otherwise it turns out that cheap watches are oiled with oil for sewing machines.
@@thomasboyle1677 HP-1300 oil
@@thomasboyle1677 This author has a lot of videos on how to repassage watches. Some of them show the name of the oil, it is red.
I loved that you used the tool as a drum at 10:10, matching the beat of the song playing in the background 😂😂
Great restoration of the Vostok watch. I own 6 of them and love them to bits.
I love the music in the 2nd half of the video! Why can’t I stop “watching” these repairs?!?! Absolutely mesmerizing footage. Thank you and please continue producing videos. Also I want give a big congratulations on the editing, truly professional.
Russian Dance Joey Pecoraro it's on you tube.
There is no such music in Russia. We don't listen "Kalinka-malinka". This all are evil stereothipes about us. And we don't like this.
@@alexander_vlasov97 HARDBASS OVERLOAD
So you don't listen to or like the folk music of your country? It's not really a stereotype.
@@jasonsummit1885 Прозвучавшая композиция не имеет никакого отношения к русской музыке. Это всего лишь звуки того, что по мнению её исполнившего должно звучать как русская мелодия. Я, как русский человек, отнес бы эту музыку скорее как музыку из стран восточной Европы ( like serbian, croatian, romanian music).
Tapping with the tool to the beat of the beautiful music: Priceless😀😀
I'm also laughing loud!
10:10 LOL! (I miss my Vostok Komandirskie.)
I love just how intricate the watch and the restoration process is. Gives me a whole new appreciation for the automatic watch. Thank you for sharing.
That is probably the finest looking watch I’ve ever seen
I have one of these. Gift from my brother - he picked it up at a market in the European side of Turkey in the early 90's. Still works, but the second hand has a mind of its own!

My father was gifted one of those in war by his friend. We now sell watches of all kind but this is his favorite.
It's amazing to see how sophisticated these old watches are.
These are pieces of art!
You revived this watch from looking like Chernobyl to being as beautiful as Moscow! Brilliant work! Warm regards from South Africa 🇿🇦
I’m a certified mechanic who restores cars, motorcycles, and even the occasional firearm. I never want to even try to work on a watch. Nice work!
My gosh, I have one of those! My dad took a trip to Russia (USSR back then) and came back with several. Very cool. You did a great job with it.
Loved that restoration! I am so happy when an old watch is saved.
As a collector of old Vostoks, I really loved this. Felt good to see it come back to life!
Thanks for an amazing restoration. I absolutely loved the music, It is very refreshing and unique. Not what I am used to at all
I was surprised how beautiful the dial was after all these years. Beautiful watch
Столько усилий, столько средств, чтоб поднять то, что может стоило забыть. Часы командирские - ух :-) Молодцы!
This video was so relaxing and satisfying to watch. So glad I randomly clicked on it.
MyAutomatic Vostok Paratroopers model from 1995 runs perfectly since that time and i keep it when swimming.Really serious watches
When you look at professionals ice skaters, for example, they make skating look easy even though you know it's crazy hard. When watching a restoration professional restores a watch he makes it look crazy hard and you know it is even harder than it seems.
My tank commander version of this from the 80's is still working a treat, beautiful watches. Also love the fantastic restoration you did to this; great to see real craftsmanship at work 👍
Me too
Wow! That tool to get the spring back in place. That was amazing. OLD SCHOOL.
You do a fantastic job restoring these little pieces of art we wear on our wrist
Normally I don't like the music in these videos, but here it gives it a special sensation for the Soviet watch.
Wow, now I understand why it's so expensive to fix a watch. Good work 💪
4:36 At this moment, I would have panicked and thought: "Holy sht, how to put all of those things back?"
watching the video backwards?
@@polvoradelrey2423 You can, if you recorded it on video, if not then you are in trouble.
The same for me 😂
У меня тоже командирские часы и насмотревшись ваших роликов я их разобрал полностью, потому что они не работали. Было очень интересно. Собрать обратно точно не смогу.

Great job indeed! Thank you for the video! I have several watches of this model with different displays. I wish there was such a master-hand somewhere in my neighbourhood who could make them new again! These watches really worth this!

Spot on this appeared in my feed today, awesome work and you got a new sub keep it up 👍

Surgically accurate work! You bring them back to life, and they said "Thank you, friend"
Watch repairers and engine builders amaze me in how they can put all the nuts, bolts, washers, screws etc into one container for the parts washing machine and remember where everything went! I would have to take pictures of each step of disassembly so as to not forget what went where. I'm sure this gentleman would say that it's easy or that it's obvious or that it can only go back one way, or? I'm also sure that practice and repetition helps over time, but still... How many junk watches or engines would you have to tear down before you see the logic or patterns for reassembly, not to mention building up a bin of spare fasteners for when those tiny pieces get to flying off the work table? It does seem like screws and bolts could have the same length, diameter and thread pitch for standardization etc, but you still have to remember how all the other parts went together! Watches seem to have many "layers" as well, some deeper and some shallow, with gears overlapping each other so that maybe reassembly could be somewhat logical. But still... Fascinating to watch craftspeople at work...
2:25 proof that life likes to teleport things away when you need them just to frustrate you

I’ve watched loads of watch restoration videos and I’ve never seen someone redoing the lume really interesting great video.

It's nice to see thats you only replaced little things and saved many original parts. It looks outstanding!!! I'm so glad I watched your video. Thank you. It looks brand new like the one I have!!!
Изумительно! Спасибо большое за ваш труд!
The fact that this is a 40 dollar watch is just insane...
that could have the memorial value, for example
That fact that you can put every thing back in order is amazing. I can't even remember after step 4 or 5 :D
Great work. When you had it all disassembled on the table, all I could think was "Oh Hell No!" End result is a beautiful watch.
I own one of this wristwatches, Komandirskie With a red star, made in 1993, still working.
damn
Truly enjoyable. Perfect editing along with the music. Great work.
Delightfully complicated little machines. I’d have absolutely no chance taking apart or putting one of these back together. (As much as I really want a mechanical watch) I get confused disassembling some of my guns. You’re awesome!
Amazing, have become obsessed, just bought a vostok watch from ebay, says its been serviced, had to have one now I know that goes on inside.
