Most people don't know everything about Russian watches. As a matter of fact, you may never have seen one before. And while it's true that Russian watches aren't as famous as Swiss or Japanese watches, their popularity is growing as leading Russian brands brands such as Vostok,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Vostok-Europe and Volmax become more widely available outside the former USSR. These watches are famous throughout Europe, North America, and the world.
Russian Watch Guide aims to provide clear, accurate information for anyone interested in learning about or purchasing a Russian watch. If you are new to Russian watches, we suggest starting with the Russian Watch FAQ and Russian Watches 101.
Curious what a typical Russian watch looks like?
Why Buy a Russian Watch
Most Russian watches use mechanical jeweled movements (not quartz) and sell for between $30 and $300. Many watchbuyers consider this to be outstanding value for a quality mechanical watch. High-end luxury watches are also available.
Designs tend to be strong and functional. If you like diver, aviator or military-style watches, you will probably like Russian watches.
Russia is not new to watchmaking. It has a rich history of manufacturing mechanical watches that dates back more than eighty years.

What You Need to Know Before You Buy
Of course, not all Russian watches are good looking or good quality. So you'll need to know which brands to buy and which to avoid,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], as well as where to buy them. You'll also need to know how to avoid getting stuck with a fake watch. And here are some special tips if you plan on buying a watch online.
Point of obsession: Sometimes, customers are perplexed whether a watch is made by Poljot or by Volmax. Let's thrash the matter out. Volmax was formed in 2000 by former Poljot employees. The company purchased equipment from the First Moscow Watch Factory after Poljot scaled back production. Most Volmax watches use Russian movements. Because of this reason, some retailers tend to pick Volmax watches as Poljot watches. But it is not exactly accurate. You can never see the Poljot brand name or logo on Volmax watches. The Volmax brands are Aviator,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Buran, Sturmanskie as well as Russian Watch Factory.
