collection the whole nine yards but today we're gonna jump into this Vostok
Europe Anchar review let's take a look at what's on my wrist today the watch of the day is that
custom bill watch that I had made by Peter over at PK horology
right up in the corner of the screen right now I'm post a link to the video
of this watch still loving this guy's still wearing it any chance I get
PK horology custom watch
so taking a look at this vostok europe and chart that we received if I can get
this guy open you can see it comes in a pretty neat guide case dry just ABS
plastic dry case now the one thing I will say it's this thing is a bear to
get open so unless you have a lot of fingertip strength you're gonna struggle
but let's take a look at this guy so you can see inside of this case it's got the
Vostok-Europe logo cut out right in the padding if we open this up in the box
this is a instruction card for how to change the straps on this Vostok Europe
and then the 2 year limited warranty card that comes with it
now this watch actually came from a watch company that's an authorized
dealer for Vostok Europe watches this is incidentally also the same watch company
that sells the Vostok Europe watches to watch gang
so just interesting piece of information if you see that company name around
that's why and then we have the Vostok Europe manual see if I can get all of
these out because they are a bear so this answer actually comes with two
strapping tools which are basically almost like an allen wrench
give or take but the purpose of these is to help you change the straps on them
because this watch actually comes with two straps we have the red and black
silicone strap right there which incidentally I'm thinking I might try on
this watch because I've actually worn this watch once or twice before and
thinking the silicone might be comfortable on it so if we take a look
at the watch here get the watch box out of the way this is the Vostok-Europe anchar and
chart submarine chrono black-on-black the model number for this watch is a six
s 30 / 51 0 4 - 44 now vostok europe as we've come to learn in the past
typically names their watches after Russian Russian military pieces we'll
call it this watch they ensures no different this this watch was actually
named after the Russian K 162 and char which is said to be the world's fastest
attack sub whether or not that's true or not I honestly have no clue but that's
that's the purpose of this the purpose of naming this watch that anyway is
after that K 162 Russian submarine and you can see on the back of the case back
there it has a picture of the submarine itself you can see this is a chrono
red and black chrono very typical to my stylings I mean I think you guys are all
pretty clear on the fact that I love red and black color combinations I think
this picture right here that you're seeing on your screen pretty much sums
everything up about my my preferred coloring on things between the watch I'm
wearing this shirt and the watch I'm holding in my hands now this vostok
europe entrar operates on a quartz six s 30 chronograph movement that's a Miata
quartz chronograph movement you can see if we walk around the dial here we've
got very standard chronograph functionality the things that kind of
Drew me to this watch and let me see if I can zoom in here a little bit for you
guys the the things that really kind of drew me
to this watch itself was a lot of that dial design you can also see around the
edges or the indices of this watch you have those tritium gas tubes now if
you're not familiar with tritium gas tubes those are a radioactive gas with
inside of a tube that glows continuously and I'll get some low-light shots of
this watch towards the end of the video so you guys can see what I'm talking
about but as compared to bloom on a dial tritium tubes do not need to be charged
they do have a shelf life roughly of 25 years before they lose their glow but if
I have this watch in 25 years and this watch is still running then I'll have
absolutely gotten my money out of it and not too worried about it
now you you will notice that this is a little bit bigger of a watch the case
diameter on this watch is 48 millimeters with a case thickness of fifteen point
five millimeters but the one thing I will caution you guys on with pretty
much all of the Vostok Europe watches that I've had so far is they tend to
wear a little bit bigger than normal and the reason why I believe is is how they
build their lug and they're the top of their straps I mean the the top of their
straps are molded to you know to kind of fit with the lugs but wearing on the
wrist they tend to wear a little bit bigger than a watch of similar size and
part of what I mean is you can see kind of the stiffness in that strap at that
top of the watch by the lug there it makes the strap kind of kind of not
conform if you have smaller wrists I mean you can probably a horrible shot
there but you can kind of see it's not going to hug your wrist tight if you
have smaller wrists but definitely definitely someone that has bigger wrist
in mind my wrist is roughly seven and a quarter inches somebody with a bigger
wrist and mine is we have no problems wearing this watch
at all but just to be cognizant when you guys do if you guys do purchase this
watch or a similar one there is not a lot of play within those lugs on the top
of the straps the straps are very very nice genuine leather they're 24
millimeters you can see right on the back there they do have Vostok-Europe
imprinted right on the back of the strap as well as on the clasp itself it has
the Vostok Europe anchar logo and then you have the red and black stitching down that
strap now as I mentioned I'm likely gonna throw the silicon-silicon excuse
me strap on this watch just from a cuff for comfort standpoint because that
leather is so stiff I'm likely even going to look to see if I can find a
black silicon strap for this watch just because this red is really really bright
it's almost like a tangerine or a bright red I guess for lack of a better term
you can see there's the model number again that six s35 one zero two four
four for the crystal on this watch is an anti reflective mineral crystal with
screw down crown screw down Crais backs this watch actually has a water
resistance of 20 atm
talking about the price of this Vostok Europe Anchar currently Amazon
actually has this watch for sale for five hundred and fifty nine dollars I'll
post a link up in the description below if you guys want to take a look at that
but five hundred and fifty nine dollars directly from Amazon this at one point
in time was available on sale from touch of modern for eight hundred and ninety
nine dollars here's a website I found it's called
shady lifestyles calm that has this watch currently on sale for six hundred
and fifty nine dollars in ninety nine cents and then of course if we jump over
to ebay we're gonna see price ranges anywheres from that five hundred and
fifty dollar five hundred $20 all the way up to over a thousand dollars for
this vostok Europe Anchar line now incidentally one thing I forgot to
mention earlier is that this does come both in the chronograph version as well
as the non chronograph version the non chronograph version is powered by a NH
35 automatic movement versus the chrono is running the quartz movement I have
personally when I picked up this watch I have approximately four hundred and
seventy-five dollars in cash value and probably right around six hundred
dollars in trade value is what I traded to get this watch and this watch
specifics excuse me specifically actually traded
for so I had six hundred dollars in trade value on this watch some people
love Vostok Europe's there's a huge huge following for Vostok-Europe watches out
there personally I love their design but to each his own I mean I know there's a
lot of people that aren't fans of these watches and a lot of people that
definitely would not pay over five hundred dollars for a watch from them
but given the fact that I really like the design I like the presentation I I
felt that $600 trade value was was okay for me
because in actual USD I had much less into this the watch that I traded had
that I put a trade value on $600 I had about $300 and two so in the end of the
day I know I'm talking in circles but basically in a nutshell
- shipping I have about three hundred dollars into this watch so I'm pretty
happy with his trade I'm pretty happy with the direction that it went alright
guys so that was the Vostok Europe in chard that I received Dana on trade I
think this guy is gonna get a lot of wrist time I'd be here just curious I
should say to see what you guys would think black leather strap I'm sorry
black leather with red stitching strap or red silicone strap what do you guys
think I should go with on this one personally I think all read on that
silicone strap it's just a little bit too bright might be a little bit too
flashy but I'll have to check it out see what I
think I'll post up some pictures of both at the end of this video so you guys can
take a look and let me know what you guys like better anyway guys I
appreciate you guys watching to the end if you have any questions you can
definitely post them up in the comments below if you want to reach out to me you
