Exactly that and the fact Vostok designed them as expedition watches which Jody could have found out of he had done his research! In fact these 24hr watches are for expeditions to north or south pole because either area has long periods where it either never gets dark or never gets light. With these 24 watches you will always know when you wake up if it's morning or afternoon or evening. Also: if you can read a digital watch that's set to 24hrs this is just as easy! I do not understand how he can even call this complicated? Hour hand at 18 and minute at 12 is exactly the same as a digital watch that says 18:12 ??

As an ex military man who still works in 24 hour time this watch makes perfect sense which is why I have one, mine is the blue version though. I would class these as a tool watch designed for a specific role or reason as opposed to a standard watch. They're easy enough to get your head around but it's beneficial if you already know 24 hour clock time which isn't hard to learn. After all there are 24hrs in a day and there are many aspects of daily and or work life that use or you would need 24hr clock time. I find it funny watching people trying to work out what 18.30, for example, is at a bus, train or flight time table. You see them counting the hours on their fingers then get frustrated converting to their 12 hour brains. Everyone should be taught 24 hour clock time. I was taught it at primary school.

Hmm I quite like it. Quirky enough to be cool. Plus the added advantage of being late to meetings and blaming your watch for being too hard to read at a glance.

I've got this and find it easy to read. Most of the time you already know which hour it is, so you're really just reading the minute hand to tell the time. Plus after a while you get used to the first half of the dial being AM, and the second half being PM.

Thanks for the review! When 24-hour mechanisms appeared, they were never intended for "ordinary" civilian use. They are intended to use in places where You can't tell the night from day - places, close to Earth's poles, where there's either polar night or day and You can't tell if it's day or night - the sun is always "on" or "off" throughout the day; nuclear submarines with great autonomy, not needing to resurface often; other facilities with no access to daylight (mines, command bunkers, casinos? :))) ). I believe, that after several days in such conditions Your biological clock might fail in determining whether it's a day or night, so watches like this come in handy. Breitling had a "Cosmonaut" watch with 24h dial just because of the same "hard to tell if it's day or night" reason.

I have used a 24h dial Raketa as a daily for almost 10 years. Being used to 24h "military" time, reading the time on it came more natural than on a regular 12h dial (I have my digital watches, PC and phone apps &c. all set on 24h time). The problem with Vostoks is that they have a quite small dial, which is very cluttered too, so reading the time on a 24h Vostok dial is very difficult. Indeed, not the best 24h dial watch out there. Keeping with Vostok, I prefer those ones with a regular 12h dial, but with a "digital" indicator (wheel) for the 24 hours.

This is actually a great watch. I wear mine more than any other watch I own. It keeps great time, if it hacked it would be perfect. I have refinished the case, replaces the bezel with a nice coin edge dive style and added a Horween leather strap. What's not to like: 24 hour movement, bidirectional bezel and great time keeping. The best everyday watch I own. If I want to show off I'll wear my Navitimer, otherwise I'll wear the Vostok.

HAHA! Of all the Vostoks you've reviewed, this one is the only one that appeals to me. Thx Jody!

I like that I can look at it and see exactly how much of the day has passed which I never really think of with a 12 hour dial, when the hour hand is halfway around half of the day is passed and the same with 3/4 or any other fraction. It didn't take me more than a couple of weeks to get used to telling the time. I did find these dials a bit plain though which is why I went with the 350607.

I had a sovjet submarine 24 dial watch around 86 and I was out partying a lot in those days (student) so it made perfect sense to be able to tell if it was 3 a clock in the morning or the night during winter or summer in Sweden. Great conversation piece, I was the only one having one so that was also cool. And I worked extra weekends at the hospital with nights and 12 hour shifts so it fitted well there too.

For most of my adult life I worked for FedEx Express and EMS. I used the 24 hour format in both those occupations. I love the watch. I also love Dr. Jody's watch channel!

I've been planning on getting one of these 24 hour vostoks for a while. I think I'll pull the trigger soon. Thanks for the video.

I chickened out on the 24hr and got the normal version of this (similar 020 case, same dial design only standard 1-12). Had it for a year or so and it's really understated, one of my favourites for sure. Usually have it on a black tropic but it suits loads of straps especially a chunky mesh. Thanks for sharing.

I love mine. Strap monster. Looks great on mesh

Love the concept of a 24hr watch. Makes so much sense.

I have this exact model and just love it. Use it more than my Tissot.

I got one of these a couple of weeks ago being my first Vostok and I love it. It’s different.

Have this, in blue. First Vostok, but not my last for sure. I use 24 hr. time at work and it’s so handy. It looks great, the band it came with is comfy and it’s pretty accurate, well within a minute per day, probably way less.

Got up this morning and put on my 24hr Volstok. Daily routine is sit down with morning coffee and watch "Just One More Watch". Low and behold it's a review of the same watch I'm wearing!! I agree that this watch is best as a novelty and not much more. I like to wear it as it is definitely a conversation starter. I also wear it when I ride my RUSSIAN Ural side car motorcycle!

This got me into Vostoks ..beater Glycine airman 24

Its useful where access to sunlight to ascertain exact time of day is hard to make out. Great for polar regions or some parts of northern Canada where you get wonky day time/night time split.

As you know that watch is a specific tool watch for those who require 24 hour timekeeping. Many like me ex military have no problem figuring out time with one. I think its a great looking fun watch. I've read having our new Bostok's cleaned and regulated goes a long way to accurate timekeeping. I have a vintage diver recently cleaned and regulated that keeps +5 seconds a day!

I've got a thing for having 24hr display on my digital Casios so this is just awesome! I love it

I’ve had the 305607 which is the white dial one for about a year now. It took a long time for me to get use to it. Partly because I didn’t wear it every day. I grew to like it and see it now as another characteristic oddity of Vostoks. It’s worth getting one as it’s not going to break the bank. Agree with you on their mesh straps, I they are excellent.

Ironically a white version of this just arrived for me today, I agree with your review, a strange one but I like it! I've already changed the strap, and swapped in a pepsi 24 hour bezel which makes it a bit more practical for keeping track of two timezones easily. Great review as always!

Really cool piece. I have one and love it. It's fun to re-learn how to tell time each time I wear it and it makes a great icebreaker and talking piece. I would also suggest that it makes a great "affordable" alternative to scratch the Glycine Airman 24 hr dial itch. Those have exploded in price tag and for $80 you get the same fun.

Maybe not so fashionable, but I’ve got two watches. This watch on my left and an Apple Watch on my right. I particularly appreciate this watch for when I’m flying, I’ve set it to Zulu time and that’s what we use in aviation. Would recommend if you’re a frequent flyer or even a sailor!

I've had a 24H dial and a one handed watch on "back burner" for a while, I think they are both great! Meranom is a great merchant too! I agree about the bezel swap! Nice watch!

I've had this in a white dial I got from Meramon. I love it. I have no problem figuring out time. In my zone, Which is Eastern or NYC time, I minus 2 hours. I have 6 Vostok, which 2 are 390781, 170863 version. 2 base Komandirski, a gold tank and a blue submarine dial, and 2 GMT. all of them are different. One GMT is a Amphibia batman style which I have heard are hard to get. I love all 6 of mine and often wear my 24 hour, just for conversation starters. People are always Looking at it and asking about it

I've loved using 24 hour "military" time since high school. Spent four years in the military and still contract for the DOD. I love my 24hr Raketa 2623h. I may have to add this Vostok to my collection! I've also been drooling over a Glycine Airman.

This will be my 10th Vostok for sure.

Hi Jody, great review but I have got to say I like it, when you put the GMT alongside I thought get a bezel like that one and it would be better still, you would have your two time zones. I know what you mean about the braclet mesh all the way for me. Keep up the good work.

Nice shirt! That’s where I’m from. Vostok definitely keeps their designed interesting.

I put a world timer bezel on my 24h Komandirskie (model 350.617) and I can now easily tell the time in any time zone by aligning my time zone with its hour hand position. That is an extremely useful function which a GMT watch can't do.

Military time is super useful. Lots of military and veteran would love this watch. Military time also help indicate am/pm too.

I have a thing for 24-hour dials. I fell in love with the Breitling Scott Carpenter Cosmonaut as a teenager, and it's still an absolute grail watch. This Vostok may have to stand in for it for the foreseeable future 😎

Just got mine without date and a NATO and I love it. Nothing says super symmetry and efficiency like one sweep per dial per day. Very cool tractor.

A 24h watch makes perfect sense when using it as a sun compass. I just ordered the 2431.01/030935-1, with a navigation degree bezel that should make navigation on land easy.

Actually I have scene that dial type before and I like them! I would however most definitely change the bracelet and bezel for sure!

I’m actually wearing mine in uniform today. It comes in handy when I’m at work and need to record in military time. A different bezel would be nicer. It did take some getting use to and I can understand why many may not like it.

It is only hard to read if you don’t understand the 24 hour Clock. I love it.

I've been getting used to the 24 hour format on my Smart watch, it was a bit panicky when I checked the time in the middle of the night. But for us older people it's a great way to train our brain with watches.

one of my favourite watches. Mine is modded though with a GMT function bezel, which somehow makes more sense to me with a 24h dial... Ironically I'm using it to track down the time in Australia most of the time. Indeed the accuracy is not the best, but also not the worst. I'm really impressed by Vostok quality-wise and the aesthetics just makes me feel like I'm on the wrong end of the Cold War everytime I check the time. Maybe getting a Shturmanskie Traveller next...

I bought it so after I got my Part 107 Drone Pilots Certificate, in order to keep track of UTC (Zulu time) which uses 24 hours time. METAR and TAF reports are in 24 hr UTC. I didn't know what quality is was getting when I ordered it. Its good to see that Vostok has a generally good reputation on KZread.

I really like the Glycine Airman with the 24hr purist dial. I don't think they are really useless, its just a different way to tell the time. Would of been a home run if it had a GMT bezel and a GMT movement with the 4th hand added

This is super easy time telling. Easy to see and you know directly pm or am

Have one with the white dial variation... Been using it on and off since last July. All and all ... a great watch.

I have a Sturmanksie 24 hour which I used for work for years, great timekeeper/beater, it has a 24hr bezel which you can rotate to give a hybrid GMT. Takes maybe three/four days for your brain/eyes to adjust but then it's easy. The design was for long flights, there is technical reason for it. I haven't seen one of these before, I am tempted. Both brands have good movements, easily better timekeepers than a "real" GMT (or mine are crap somehow). Nice review, you were conflicted... I think on some level you liked it !!

I bought one accidentally. Weird but I like it.. Can't tell the time without thinking about it, like a lot but I enjoy the watch for its quirkiness and mine has a white face which I really like.. Swapped the strap out immediately for a red leather rallye strap..👍😀

I bought one a couple of weeks ago. It took a little time to learn how to to read it but it's worth it. Not only Pilots use 24hr dials, submariners do. It's great to own a piece with a naval reference as well as aviation. It makes me think of The Hunt for Red October.

I've been wearing the white dial version with a blue silicone strap from Barton , and I've not had any trouble telling time after the first day. It's running about 5 seconds/day fast, so I'm not complaining. It's different, but not too different for me. The white dial makes the white lume pips kind of disappear, you may want to consider another dial color if that bothers you.

I saw a video that mention ordering directly from Vostok, seemed even cheaper. I've been wanting a 24hr dial for awhile. The 650 has the same 200 m spec but if I recall is plated brass , that might be the standard ones though. I do like the mesh straps as well. Thanks for the video.

Both 650 case amphibias and komandirskies are all stainless steel case and crown, and most bezels are too.

This is awesome, I would totally buy it. We don't have, or use PM and AM in Sweden, we just go by so called military time. So instead of 6 PM we use 18.00.

And so does the rest of Europe, including Russia. To me it is more logical and convenient to just count to 24 instead of having to add am or pm. To have a simple 24 h dial indicating day or night without the need of a cluttering extra hand or subdial makes sense to me.

...I actually really like it! I have the standard 12 hour version of this in now for review, mesh bracelet attached of course!

I have this watch and I love it. I’m a hospital pharmacist and I’m constantly dating IV drips with BUDs (expiration times) on 24 time scale so this watch is the perfect work watch for me
