The Vostok Europe Batiscafos is one of the brand's serious dive watch series: men's models, all with a case water resistant to 30 ATM (300 m). It includes quartz, Quartz Kinetic and automatic versions, so you can also choose by movement. We are an official Vostok Europe dealer, we deliver your chosen watch to your door, and our own service handles water resistance checks.
What can the Vostok Europe Batiscafos do?
The Batiscafos is named after the bathyscaphe, the submersible built for deep-sea research, and you can see it in its character: a sturdy case, a rotating bezel and a dial that is easy to read in the dark. Every model we offer is water resistant to 300 metres, a serious reserve even for diving.
Quartz, Quartz Kinetic or automatic Batiscafos?
- Quartz: the simplest and the most accurate – a battery change at our service is quick and routine.
- Quartz Kinetic: quartz accuracy, but charged by the movement of your wrist, so there is no need for regular battery changes.
- Automatic: a mechanical movement with no battery that winds itself from your motion.
If you wear it every day, all three work well. If it only comes out at weekends or on holiday, plain quartz is the most convenient, because you do not have to reset it every time.
Does a dive watch's water resistance need checking separately?
Yes, if you really dive with it. Gaskets age over time, so it is worth asking for a pressure test once a year – our own watch service can do this. You can see the brand's other dive watch series together on the Vostok Europe page.
How to choose between the variants online
The three movements also differ in weight and thickness: the automatic is the bulkiest and the quartz the lightest. On the product page you will find the case diameter and thickness, so compare them with a watch you already own. If everyday comfort is your main concern, lean towards the quartz or the Kinetic; if you want the experience of a mechanical watch, the automatic is yours.
