Vostok Cadet Amphibia
The 33 mm case gives this Vostok Cadet Amphibia watch from 1988 a notably small-format diving-watch profile. Chrome plating, a clean dial and bold hour markers retain its utilitarian Soviet-era appearance. Hand-wound caliber 2209 powers the watch, and the 38 mm lug-to-lug span keeps the case’s reach across the wrist compact.
Compact case and bold dial markers
The clean dial and bold hour markers support the Cadet’s clear, practical display. The chrome-plated case measures 33 mm in diameter and 38 mm from lug to lug, with a 16 mm lug width for compatible strap fitting. It is a smaller-format diving watch, with its size central to its visual character.
The case finish and utilitarian layout preserve the appearance of this late-Soviet example. The diving designation describes the historical design rather than a current water-resistance test.
Manual winding and mechanical operation
This hand-wound watch uses caliber 2209, requiring regular winding through the crown. That manual routine is distinct from automatic winding by wrist motion. The watch is fully serviced and fully operational.
Preserved components and warranty
This used Cadet Amphibia is well preserved, with its original watch components intact. The compact dimensions, clean dial and honest exterior finish remain the principal qualities of its presentation. It comes with a 12-month warranty, without box or papers.
