Vostok Watch Manual

For extended longevity and peak performance of your Vostok watch, kindly refer to these instructions.

The crown in Vostok watches is intentionally designed to be wobbly. This might seem strange, but it's normal. So don't worry if you notice some movement in the crown - that's just how it's supposed to be.

WINDING

If you have an automatic Vostok watch and wear it daily, manual winding is not necessary. Your wrist movement keeps the watch powered.

However:

- If your automatic watch hasn’t been worn for over 24 hours, or

- If you own a manual-winding Vostok watch,

then manual winding is required to keep the watch running accurately.

 - Unscrew the crown counterclockwise and set it to position 2.
 - Wind the crown by turning it 25-30 times.
 - Screw the crown back in place.

 

ADJUSTING THE TIME

     - Unscrew the crown counterclockwise and set it to position 3.
     - Turn the crown counterclockwise to set the correct time.
     - Screw the crown back in place.

     

    ADJUSTING THE DATE

    The Vostok watch does not have a “Quick Set” date system, but you can adjust the date faster:

     - Unscrew the crown counterclockwise and set it to position 3.
     - Move the hands just past midnight (12:00 AM or 24:00 hrs).
     - Move the hands backward to about 8:00 PM (20:00 hrs)

    - Advance the hands forward past midnight(12:00 AM or 24:00 hrs) again.

    The date will change each time the hands advance past midnight.

    CARE TIPS

      To ensure your watch lasts as long as possible and continues to function accurately, follow these tips:

      • Protection: Protect your watch from sudden shocks, exposure to chemical products, and magnetic fields. Handle it with care and store it in a safe place when not in use.
      • Moisture Prevention: To prevent the glass from misting, ensure the crown is screwed on tightly. Regularly check the crown and tighten it as needed.
      • Water Resistance: Always check that the crown is screwed in tightly before submerging your watch in water. This will help prevent water damage and ensure the watch continues to function properly.
