Description: Here's a look at a 1970's Vostok Amphibian. Vostok is a Russian manufacturer known primarily for making military type field and diver watches. They were appointed as the official supplier to the defense dept in 1965.
The Amphibian divers watch is one of their more iconic timepieces.
Re: Water Resistance: The watch is designed so that the deeper it goes the more water resistant it gets. The water pressure compresses the crystal causing it to form a tigher seal against the case. The caseback also pushes against the rubber gasket also forming a tighter seal.
mispeak : I meant to say "access the movement" not "access the caseback"
Misc: I wanted to point out that the one of the bridges is stamped "SU" presumably denoting Soviet Union
