Vostok Europe Expedition South Pole Automatic Watch with Black Dial.
Limited to 3,000 pieces worldwide. The Expedition South Pole line pairs solar and automatic calibres with compass markings on the bezel, for expeditions measured in months. The Expedition South Pole Automatic shows its movement through a semi-transparent dial. The case measures 43 mm in stainless steel 316L, 15.4 mm deep.
The S.Epson YN55 automatic calibre, made in Japan, drives hours, minutes, seconds and date, with hacking seconds and manual winding, beneath a K1 crystal with anti-reflective coating. A full wind holds 40 hours. The crown screws down under a bezel with compass markings.
The semi-transparent black dial carries Super-LumiNova on the hands and indices. It ships with a leather strap, 22 mm at the lugs, closed by a buckle.
Autonomy. The movements run for months on light or on the motion of the wrist, and the bezel carries compass markings for taking a bearing off the sun. Vostok Europe has built its watches in Vilnius, Lithuania, since August 2003, on Russian movements until 2014 and Japanese movements since.
Point the hour hand at the sun and read the midpoint between the hand and the 12 marker, which gives south in the northern hemisphere. The compass markings hold that line as you walk.
A synthetic crystal that combines the shock resistance of hardened mineral glass with a scratch resistance close to sapphire. On these cases it carries an anti-reflective coating for readability.
The distance between the lugs decides that, and here it is 52.6 mm. That span sits across the top of the wrist and matters more than the 43 mm of the case.
Seiko Epson in Japan. Vostok Europe used Russian movements until 2014 and Japanese suppliers since, so the case is assembled in Lithuania around a Japanese automatic calibre.
