so..

one question….

the newer amphibian like mine black dive are 31 jewels and automatic….

what about this old 17 jewels……..

are they automatic or maybe like i think are they only manual with 2414 mouvement inside?

am i wrong guys?

Please explain to me the cronology of the production in order of time of the amphibian..

i think maybe 2414 is the older and then………

i thank you so much…

The calibres can be translated as follows:

- first 2 digits is the diameter (e.g. 2214 is 22mm diameter)

- next 2 digits denote the function. The codes relevant to military Vostoks are listed below:

09 = shockproof, hand-wind, centre seconds, no date

14 = shockproof, hand-wind, centre seconds, date

15 = shockproof, automatic, centre seconds, no date

16 = shockproof, automatic, centre seconds, date

34 = shockproof, hand-wind, centre seconds, date, hacking

The Komandirskies and Amphibias of the 1970s used the 2209, 2214 and 2234 hand-wind movements.

After the introduction of the 24mm calibres, there was some limited use of automatic versions in mil-spec watches (possibly starting with the Ministry cal 2415?).

However for most heavy-duty uses, hand-winding was favoured for its simplicity (an admirably Russian attitude ). This included the ‘Antimagnetic’ models, which used the 2409. These watches had no date function due to the requirements of the anti-magnetic dial.

In the very late Soviet era, we saw the introduction of some automatic Amphibias, including Antimagnetic models. This was probably in response to Vostok military-style watches being offered more widely on the civilian and export markets.

Currently, Vostok Amphibia watches are only made with automatic movements; however the basic non-Amphibia military models are still primarily hand-wind.

The closest thing to a hand-wind Vostok ‘dive watch’ made this century was the Breeze; a water sports themed off-shoot of the Century Time range, offered as either a hand-wind 2414 or automatic 2416. Water resistance was rated at 10atm.
