YM86-640C697 Vostok Europe Atomic Age Oppenheimer Line Multifunction Limited Edition watch Vostok Europe Atomic Age Oppenheimer Line Multifunction Limited Edition

The Vostok Europe Atomic Age Oppenheimer Line Multifunction Limited Edition YM86-640C697 men's watch is limited to 3,000 pieces. The series is a reference to physics and the development of nuclear technology as a science, as well as the development of energy for peaceful purposes. The model bases its work on the Japanese Seiko Epson YM86 quartz movement. The watch has an original polygonal envelope consisting of 2 parts "pressed" one into the other, which is made of stainless steel in black. The envelope connects to a brown leather strap. The black dial protected by K1 mineral glass features a day-of-the-month date, chronograph, tachymeter and GTLS (Gaseous Tritium Light Sources) backlighting on the indexes and hands. The model also features an alarm, perpetual calendar and daylight saving time. The screw-down crown and caseback, as well as a water resistance of 20 ATM, allow diving without an aqualung. The line is dedicated to Nobel laureate Robert Oppenheimer. He was the head of the Los Alamos laboratory and has been called the "father of the atomic bomb" due to his role in the Manhattan Project, which developed the first nuclear weapon. After World War II, Oppenheimer became chairman of the influential General Advisory Committee of the newly formed United States Atomic Energy Commission. He used this position to lobby for international control of nuclear energy to prevent nuclear proliferation and a nuclear arms race with the Soviet Union.
