Made in Russia, Mystery Included: The Komandirskie Watch
I was excited to buy this watch because it's made in Russia. This watch is still a bit of a mystery to me, and I've already had to replace the strap loop. The Komandirskie SU-35 Flanker Fighter Commander Russian Air Force Military Mechanical Wrist Watch is definitely unique. The 40mm chrome-coated case and leather band give it a classic look. The Russian VOSTOK 2414A mechanical movement is interesting, and the 36-hour power reserve is decent. The luminous hands and markers are helpful, and the bi-directional bezel adds a nice touch. While I've had a minor issue with the strap, I appreciate the water resistance and the overall design. It's a conversation starter, for sure.This review represents my personal opinion and experience with this product.

Extremely pleased with this watch!
This is a great watch at a wonderful price. I got the leather band version and the band is nice and well made, though I am replacing it with another black band with red stitching just because I have a spare 18mm band I like a bit better (and the red makes the watch pop a tad more). The face has an SU-30 Flanker that looks sharp, and the watch wears like a 40mm, so it's an excellent size. Lume is nothing spectacular, but it works well enough that I'm not complaining. Please note, if you aren't familiar with Russian watches go online to see winding instructions- it needs to be done a certain way and CAN be overwound if you don't follow the (very simple) steps. There is no date hack, so you will have to manually set the date, but the process doesn't take terribly long. All in all, if you like watches, like modern fighters, and want something your friends likely don't have, this is an excellent and inexpensive choice!

Tired of looking at you phone for the time, get a beautifully designed watch.
I have a gold Vostok watch thats working perfectly but wanted a silver colored one as well. These watches are very well made and reliable, excellent quality. For a comparable watch from other sources you’d expect to pay at least twice the price. I’m very pleased with these watches and get compliments on them often.

Read Before Buying
I got a gift card for Christmas, so I got this watch. Somehow it took 2 1/2 months. I got my Christmas present in spring. This is not my fault, but here's one that is, I bought this for $55 and that's a good price for a good watch. Now it's priced at $78. I wouldn't pay that much for it. Here's why, if you pay a few more dollars, you get a lot more watch like the Amphibian (I own one) and let's talk about Japanese automatics like Orient or Seiko 5. Now we're talking better lume and no more easily scratched acrylic. I will say somebody at Vostok Trading is very nice and professional.
