YN85-560B519 Vostok Gaz-14 Limousine Men's Watch Limited Edition Vostok Europe Gaz-14 Limousine Limited Edition

The watch is beautiful and very comfortable. Big but acceptable. Luma weak, unfortunately. The mechanism with the strange name "seiko-epson YN85" is in fact the Orient 40N5A werk (Seiko bought the Orient with all the boons). The mechanism is extremely susceptible to changes in the resting position - it lags vertically and accelerates horizontally. Like any slot machine, this one is extremely sensitive to position changes. This is also an advantage - you can adjust the accuracy, putting it, for example, overnight appropriately and thus it will run perfectly without moving it. Overall, for the price, it's definitely worth it. I can't stop staring at him.

The watch is beautiful, large, but acceptable, the strap is also beautiful, everything is made very nicely. Well, it's not Ulysse Nardin's level, but for the price it's great. Luma is bad. The mechanism with the strange name "seiko-epson yn85" is actually an old Orient movement. After all, Seiko bought the Orient with all the boons. It is a 40N5A movement. Werk is ... specific. It is carried almost without deviations. Located on the back, it accelerates (even up to approx. 20spd). When placed vertically, it slows down (let's say a little over 10spd). So if someone wants to play with it, he can get a 0s daily deviation without changing the clock. Every mechanism (without the tourbillon) reacts this way, but this one is exceptionally strong. The spring winds up very willingly, and the working time seems to me a bit longer than declared (although I did not measure it exactly). All in all, this money is definitely worth it.

I should curse this watch. It can be said that the same is evil. I used to like watches a lot - but due to both financial issues and the taste itself, which changes with age - I only bought quartz watches (* slight bend of the truth, I had one automatic watch, but when buying it I did not pay attention to it, I was guided by only the appearance that suited me). After a few years of break, when I wanted to do it again - thinking about replacing 10 batteries - I decided that I would buy a "maintenance-free", i.e. mechanical watch - so that even after the break, I could only set the time and put it on calmly. Note for people who start with mechanical watches - "maintenance-free" compared to quartz is an illusion, on the contrary - the watch requires that you take care of it - make sure that it does not lie for months, do maintenance every few years. taste, I wanted something different - instead of the chronographs and the metal bracelet that were once a must for me, I felt like a more elegant (but still well combined with the everyday "casual" outfit), a relatively simple dial and a leather strap. I saw Vostoki sometimes in commercials and I liked them very much - it is a great bridge for people who, like me, from the aforementioned watches with chronographs or even fashion watches, pass into the world of mechanical watches. They are more subdued than the former, but at the same time definitely more "interesting" in terms of design compared to the latter, and at the same time affordable. "Interesting" in quotation marks because I use the term not because the average mechanical watch is uninteresting, quite the opposite. Most often it is simply more "classic", but here we have a very successful combination of the classic with a slightly more "modern" look, because this is how I would describe the Gaz-14 Limousine line, if I had to sum it up in one sentence. on one side, a relatively calm dial - we have a date display and a power reserve, no additional freaks and very classic, or as my wife says, "grandfather" colors. a brown stripe, and at the same time we have an interesting accent in the form of hands and indices, which depending on the angle of incidence of light appear black or show their true blue color. minute indices, because it is the three internal ones and the power reserve that are responsible for this effect.) a visual drawback is the date - due to the size of the date window, numbers such as 26 do not look perfect - there is practically no margin between the number and the dial, and I have the impression that the need to compress numbers in such a small space led to slight shortcomings in the applied The fonts 2 and 6 look like they don't match, both in size and position. However, this is a very small drawback that does not spoil the overall impression - you have to look closely to notice it (masking the problem is helped by its source - the fact that the date display is so small means that we will not pay attention to these details if we do not pay close attention. ). I will not pretend that I know watch movements and will write about it, but as far as I know, Seiko movements are considered one of the best in their price range, so I'm calm. I also admit that I did not measure the daily accuracy and I do not plan, I think that when buying a mechanical watch you have to be aware that the shifts are much larger than in the quartz one and that closes the topic for me. All in all - I should be cursing this watch. For me, he aroused a real "mechanical" hunger. After one day of wearing it, I wanted another - not because this one is bad, on the contrary - I just fell in love with mechanical watches. The effect is twofold. First of all - the desire to buy another one is definitely not a good omen for your wallet. Second - I have the impression that I will not want to wear any (well, maybe the Seiko 7T62-0GN0, which has always been my favorite) from my old quartz watches. And all this is the "fault" of this Vostok. It can be said that the same is evil.
