The Vostok Europe Expedition brings the brand's expedition and Dakar Rally past to the wrist: men's field watches with a case water resistant to 20 ATM (200 m), in solar, quartz or automatic. You can choose from several Expedition variants, and we deliver every one to your door. As an official dealer we provide the manufacturer warranty, and our own service takes care of strap and battery changes.
What makes the Vostok Europe Expedition an expedition watch?
This collection grew out of Vostok Europe's history with expeditions and the Dakar Rally: an easy-to-read, high-contrast dial, a robust case and 200 metres of water resistance. Many people search for the "Vostok Europe Expedition North Pole" model by name – if you want a specific variant, check the product pages or ask us.
Solar, quartz or automatic Expedition?
- Solar: charges itself from light and keeps running on a hike or in a tent with no battery change – the most practical for the field.
- Automatic: mechanical, with no battery; for anyone who loves a traditional movement.
- Quartz: the simplest option, with the lowest running costs.
We usually recommend the solar to anyone who will really hike with it: it does not stop if it is left in a drawer, and it is enough to put it in the light now and then.
Is an expedition watch good for everyday wear?
Yes, if you are comfortable with a larger case. The Expedition is among Vostok Europe's more affordable series, which makes it a good first piece from the brand. If you would like to compare several collections, you can see them all together on the Vostok Europe main page.
How to choose a size online
The Expedition is a large-case watch, so before ordering measure the case diameter of a watch you already own and compare it with the figure on the product page. If the lugs would overhang your wrist, look for the smaller-case variant of the series. We adjust the strap to size in our own watch service, so a home-delivered watch is no problem either.
Questions about the Expedition collection
Can I get the Vostok Europe Expedition North Pole?
You can see the Expedition models available on the category page; if you do not find the North Pole variant among them, we will try to order it for you. Write to us and we will check whether it can be obtained.
What is the difference between the solar and the quartz Expedition?
Both are quartz-based, but the solar charges its rechargeable cell from light, so there is no need for regular battery changes. A plain quartz has a battery that needs replacing every few years.
What determines the price of the Vostok Europe Expedition?
Mainly the movement: quartz is the entry level, while solar and automatic sit in the higher category. Overall, the Expedition is among the brand's more affordable series.
Is the Expedition suitable for hiking?
Yes, it was built for that: 20 ATM water resistance, a robust case and an easy-to-read dial. For the field we recommend the solar version, because you do not have to deal with a battery.
