Best watch I've owned
By: Dave

This review is for: Vostok Europe Energia 2
This watch is everything expected it to be, very high quality, even the strap is built like a Russian T-34 tank tracks. Its a very heavy watch ,weighing in at a whopping 270g and really needs to be worn tightly or else it moves about an awful lot. The sliderule type calculator dial around the bezel can come in useful for rough calculations and adds a nice touch to the "engineering" look of the watch. The date is only changeable by puting the time back and forth through midnight, back to about 8:30, back to midnight, rinse and repeat.No 2nd pull on the crown like quartz movements. The viewing window on the rear case lets you see some of the movement inside the watch, but not much as it's only half the size of most viewing windows on other watches. The luminous hands really need a strong light on them to get them glowing and don't really last that long. The double clasp is a good idea as it gives a bit more security from it pinging open. This watch looks and feels like it cost 10 times what it sells for and it's one of those watches you can't help but want to display (short sleeved shirts from now on). Go on, treat yourself like i did.
