RARE Vintage Watch Wostok East 17 jewels from 1980s made in USSR
Vostok Watch Makers, Inc. (russian: Восток; literally meaning "East") is a Soviet & russian watchmaker based in Chistopol Tatarstan,Russia.
The Vostok Watch Makers company was founded in 1942 when one of the Moscow watch-making plants of the First Moscow Watch Factory was evacuated to Chistopol, a small town located on the Kama River in Tatarstan.
Only defence equipment was produced during the war years, but as soon as the war was over the company started making mechanical wrist watches. However, the company did not begin using the "Vostok" brand name until the 1960s. Presumably, the "Vostok" brand was named after the Vostok space programme, as were some other soviet watch brands, namely Poljot and Raketa.
