Rose Gold Case, Midnight Dial, original Box, Sleeve, and Booklet
Vostok Europe Almaz Automatic Line NH35A/320B259 from the Almaz Space Station model series. The Almaz program was a series of military space stations sent into space by the Soviet Union under the name Salyut. Two Almaz spacecraft were successfully inhabited – Salyut 3 and Salyut 5. The program included the development of TKS ships to transport cosmonauts and supplies to the Almaz space stations, but ultimately, the cosmonauts were carried to the stations by Soyuz ships. The TKS ships were only tested in unmanned mode; manned flights were cancelled.
The case of the Vostok Europe Almaz Automatic Line NH35A/320B259 is made of stainless steel with a gold-plated PVD finish. Inside is a Seiko NH35 Japanese mechanical movement with automatic winding and a manual winding option. It is set with 24 jewels and has a power reserve of 41 hours. The movement also has a stop-seconds hand function for precise time setting ( hacking). There is a handy date display at position 6. The lunette of the watch is unidirectionally rotatable. Thanks to the transparent dial, you can enjoy the movement’s operation.
The dial is protected by a mineral-hardened glass with anti-reflective treatment. Hands and indices are coated with Superluminova luminescent coating. Thanks to its 47 mm diameter, it will be an ideal choice for fans of larger watches.
The water resistance of the Almaz Automatic Line NH35A/320B259 is set at 20 ATM and is supported by a screw-down crown

Condition
All watches are categorised as brand new, preloved and so on. Vintage watches are shown as they are. For new watches we use some manufacturers' promotional pictures, but any limited edition numbers shown are those of the actual watch.
What we do and don't do
Each watch is fully inspected and is working as it should: hands turn freely, the date changes where fitted, and the watch winds. To bring you great prices we do not service every watch, and we recommend you do so regularly to keep it in good working order.
We bench test each watch for timekeeping and accept a tolerance of two minutes either way. If you have any concerns we are happy to send you a TIMEGRAPH reading with a picture of your watch in test. Some of the more expensive watches have been serviced by third party specialists, and where that is the case the service record is supplied with the watch and shown on the product page.
Watches are not tested for functionality and timekeeping over longer periods of time. For this reason, long-term performance is excluded from our warranty once the returns window has closed. This does not affect your statutory rights.
We aim to supply vintage watches in the best possible condition, but some wear must be expected due to age. This is shown in the pictures supplied. Please ask if you would like more pictures of any particular feature.
