Vostok-Europe Anchar Automatic White/Black with Tritium Tube Illumination
This new Russian Anchar dive watch is named after the fastest submarine ever built. It is a massive new design that can handle even the most taxing diving conditions. It is water resistant to 30 ATM or 300 meters. Its crisp white dial is highly visible on your wrist and you get both a white silicon dive strap and a black leather strap in the special dive case the watch comes in.

A screw driver specially designed for strap exchange is also part of the package. The watch is powered by a Seiko SII NH35 automatic movement - the first Russian diver ever to use this movement. The hands and hour markers are fitted with tritium gas tubes for constant illumination without the need for charging from a light source. They glow with the same intensity in the day or in the dark of night. The 48mm case is made from 316L surgical grade stainless steel and it is black PVD coated for a stealth matte finish.

The etched screw-in case back shows an image of the Anchar submarine and each watch is a numbered limited edition.


Note: This model also has a full luminous dial.

Product Features

Vostok-Europe Anchar White/Black AUTOMATIC

The world’s fastest submarine, the Russian k-162 Anchar, reached a world record speed of 44,7 knots (82.8 km/h) during test trials in the 1970s. Built to be a super – fast attack sub, the titanium hulled Anchar carried the Nato distinction of Papa class. Regarded as the predecessan to the more widely known Alpha class, the Anchar served the Russian navy at the height of the Cold War and holds speed records through to today.

Designed as the first Vostok-Europe timepieces for deep diving, the new Anchar line of watches reflect the spirit of their namesake. Every detail of the watch construction was built to correspond to special ISO 2281 standards for diver’s watches. The first edition of Anchar watches was successfully tested by officers of NATO Underwater Demolition Units and scientists of the Greek Institute of Marine Archeology.

The best visibility of the watch dial and hands in real conditions of deep diving is provided by the following features: In order to provide maximum readability of the watch at depth, 16 tritium tubes were incorporated.

The unidirectional rotating bezel incorporates traditional divers scale to provide set time of diving. The starting point is marked by a dot SuperLuminova.
