Vostok-Europe Atomic Age Andrei Sakharov Mecha-Quartz Chronograph Black Watch - Brand New

The Vostok-Europe Atomic Age Mecha-Quartz is a brilliantly designed timepiece that pays tribute to the Atomic Age, a transformative period of nuclear technology development beginning with the launch of the first nuclear reactor in 1942. This watch is specifically inspired by Andrei Sakharov, a Soviet nuclear physicist, dissident, Nobel laureate, and advocate for disarmament, peace, and human rights. Despite being the chief designer of the Soviet thermonuclear weapons, Sakharov later championed civil liberties and civil reforms in the Soviet Union, earning him the Nobel Peace Prize in 1975. Handmade in Lithuania, this watch reflects a combination of unique techno-futuristic design elements and the best of both automatic and quartz movements. It features a polygonal anatomic shape case, a design that echoes the futuristic vision of the Atomic Age. The case is meticulously crafted from two metal parts, welded and fixed together with two rivets, reflecting the fine attention to detail and superior craftsmanship that goes into the creation of this remarkable timepiece. The watch is fitted with a specially designed bright silicone strap, complete with ventilation holes for outstanding comfort and adaptability, making it suitable for everyday wear. The strap's vibrant hue adds a contemporary touch to the watch's overall design, while also providing a comfortable and secure fit. The dial features brushed and skeletonized hands that gracefully sweep across its grain-textured surface. This, coupled with the use of tritium illumination, ensures easy legibility in any light condition, paying homage to the watch's nuclear inspiration. The Vostok-Europe Atomic Age Mecha-Quartz is powered by the SII VK64 movement, a hybrid of mechanical and quartz technologies, known for its reliable and precise timekeeping. The combination of mechanical complexity and quartz accuracy gives this watch a unique edge in performance. Measuring Ø 48mm x 16.5mm, the watch is impressive in size and robust in build. The case back is adorned with a 3D image of the "Atomic Age collection" logo, signifying its place in this historic range. In summary, the Vostok-Europe Atomic Age Mecha-Quartz is a tribute to Andrei Sakharov and the Atomic Age. Its distinctive design, high-quality movement, and detailed craftsmanship make it a notable addition to any watch collection. This watch is not only a timekeeping instrument but also a symbol of historical significance and technological advancement.SPECIFICATIONSSeiko VK64 Date at 6o'clock Mechanical chronograph Watch case material: stainless steel Diameter: 48 mm Water resistance: 20 ATM -- 200 meters -- 656 feet Glass: anti-reflective K1 crystal Crown: screw-in Case back: Screw-in Illumination: tritium tube illumination Engraved serial number Strap: comes with a leather and two silicon straps Lug width: 25 mm Buckle: tang buckle made out of stainless steel Engraved Vostok Europe logo 3 straps in total (1 leather and 2 silicon): 1x pre-mounted strap, 2x additional strap Vostok Europe dry box Vostok-Europe changing tool.
