Vostok Amphibia – Ref. 106218 – 1970s
Description
A rugged icon of Soviet-era dive watch design, this Vostok Amphibia from the 1970s remains a sought-after classic among collectors. Built for military and underwater use, its 40mm stainless steel case features the original screw-down case back and crown, ensuring 200 meters of water resistance (not pressure-tested).
The standout feature is its beautifully aged dial, which has developed a striking gradient — darkened at the top and transitioning into a warm golden tone at the lower half. The distinctive patina, paired with the bold arrow hour hand, gives the piece exceptional vintage character.
