The Vostok Europe Space Race is one of the brand's most affordable series: men's models, all with a case water resistant to 20 ATM, in quartz and automatic. It is a good entry point if you are looking for your first Vostok Europe watch. As an official dealer, we supply it with the manufacturer warranty and home delivery, and we do battery and strap changes in our own service.
What is the Vostok Europe Space Race about?
The name refers to the Cold War space race, when the Soviet Union and the United States competed for the first satellite, the first crewed spaceflight and the Moon. The Space Race is Vostok Europe's sporty everyday line from that era – a little more restrained than the Energia or the Lunokhod.
Who do we recommend the Space Race for?
- For anyone getting to know the brand who does not want to step straight into the higher price range.
- For anyone looking for an easy-to-read everyday watch, water resistant to 200 metres, that you can swim with.
- As a gift, if the recipient loves space exploration or history.
Quartz or automatic Space Race?
The quartz model is right if you do not want to fuss with a watch: it is accurate and only needs a new battery every few years, which we do in our service. The automatic has a mechanical movement and no battery – it is for people who wear it daily and like that it "lives" on the wrist. You will find the brand's other series on the Vostok Europe main page.
Ordering it as a gift?
The Space Race makes a gift with good value for money, because it has a story and is durable. If you do not know the exact wrist size, that is not a problem: we can adjust the metal strap to size afterwards in our own service, and leather and silicone straps come with several holes. Before ordering, it is worth checking the case diameter on the product page.
