Vostok Europe Anchar Series

Vostok Europe Anchar Series

The world’s fastest submarine, the Russian K-162 “Anchar”, reached a world record speed of 44.7 knots (82.8 km/h) during test trials in the 1970s. Built to be a super-fast attack sub, the titanium hulled Anchar carried the NATO distinction of "Papa" class. Regarded as the predecessor to the more widely known "Alpha" class. The Anchar served the Russian navy at the height of the Cold War and holds speed records through to today.

Designed as the first Vostok-Europe timepieces for deep diving, the new Anchar line of watches reflect the spirit of their namesake. Every detail of the watch construction was built to correspond to special ISO 2281 standards for divers’ watches. The first edition of Anchar watches was successfully tested by officers of NATO Underwater Demolition Units and scientists of the Greek Institute of Marine Archeology.
