Despite the history of Vostok Europe in the field of military watches and sports, this watch is particularly elegant. It is part of the World Timer Alarm series, which includes only few watches. That is why the Vostok Europe YM26-5609256 is our watch of the week!

Vostok YM26-5609256

The Vostok Europe YM26-5609256 is a men’s wristwatch. It has a light brown leather bracelet and a rosé-gold-coloured stainless steel case, which is coated with PVD. You’ll find an engraved serial number on the watch, because this watch belongs to a limited edition. In addition to the normal functions such as hour, minute, second and date displaying, this watch also has special features such as the World Timer, the GMT display in any time zone, the 24h display, the alarm function and the alarm time display. All in all, this is a compact chronograph that also looks stylish and modern, because the ocean blue dial gracefully clings to the brown leather bracelet creating a great contrast. The stroke index, the chronographs and the pointers are also coloured in rosé-gold.

The History of Vostok Europe

Vostok is one of the oldest and biggest Russian watch brands. In Russia, Vostok is a well-known manufacturer of classic military watches and has a 70-year company tradition.

Around 2003 the company Vilnius Koliz merged with the Chystopol Watch Factory Vostok and became Koliz Vostok. The aim of this company was to produce new watch collections with a modern design and modern quality. Hence, the famous brand Vostok Europe was created. In 2004 the first watches were already sent to Germany, Poland, Greece and even to the USA. In 2007 the number increased to 30 countries selling Vostok watches. Soon the company came out with the slogan „For Going to Extremes“, because their numerous expedition editions are extreme in that they are designed for all situations. They are perfectly suitable for motorcyclists, researchers, climbers, and extreme athletes, or in military action.
