I collect watches, it's my dumb hobby, but there is a cult following in the community for Soviet watches especially Vostoks on the whole price : value that you get from them.
You can see that the factories and materials that were limited really influenced their approaches to design. It's fascinating to see how Soviet engineers approached problems such as shock absorption or bezel design in a completely different manner than their Swiss contemporaries.
They are harder to get considering sanctions after the war in Ukraine but many collectors do revere their watches. I wish Vostoks weren't as out there with their designs nowadays but I hope to collect a few down the line.
