What is the Vostok Europe Almaz?
The Almaz is the dive watch collection of the Lithuanian brand Vostok Europe, and it borrowed its name from the Soviet Almaz space station programme. It looks like a tool watch at first glance: a wide case, a rotating bezel, large high-contrast hands. The pieces we offer are all water resistant to 20 atm (200 m), which means you can happily keep them on in the pool, in the sea, and even for recreational diving.
Should you buy a quartz or automatic Almaz?
- Quartz: if the watch sometimes rests in a drawer for days, it always shows the exact time when you pick it up.
- Automatic: it runs without a battery, kept alive by the movement of your wrist – a good choice if you wear it daily.
With automatics, bear in mind that after a few days of rest they need to be set again. What we usually say: if this will be your only watch, go for the automatic; if it will be your second or third, the quartz is better.
How big is the Almaz, and how do you choose a size online?
Vostok Europe men's watches are made with large cases, and the Almaz is no exception. For a slimmer wrist, before ordering it is worth measuring your wrist circumference and comparing the case diameter and lug-to-lug distance on the product page with a watch you already own, because a photo does not always show how it sits on the wrist. You can find the brand's other series among the Vostok Europe watches.
If you are torn between quartz and automatic, tell us how you would wear it and we will help you decide which one is yours.
