11- 12- Vostok White Radio Room

This was a very cool initiative from watchuseek and orologiando forums. The project consisted in the design of a white dial version of the famous vostok radio room. The idea of the white dial is borrowed from a submarine clock and deck clocks where the markets are used to remember radio operators when to liten to the SOS frequencies in the board radios.
The watch was produced in two versions, one with a date window and the other one without it, totaling about 200 watches. I am lucky enough to have two of them (both of them without the date window).

Other translitarations: Wostok
Original name in Cyrillic: ВОСТОК
