Ratnik

[fergfour]

Arrived about an hour ago, the WUS Ratnik, 60 piece project. No time for a long review at the moment, but I wanted to post something while I have the chance.

Cool packaging with wood box with lots of Cyrillic I can't decipher lol. The case finish/color is very unique, and is my first 060 case style. I like the lume on the bezel and the textured dial.
Caseback says 20M but it's understood that designation was per the military contract only and that due to the similar crown/case/crystal design it's likely just as water resistant as other Vostoks.
Overall impression? WOW!

Hi Fergfour´, it's also from Wus forum 2016.
Number 19 says Hello, I ' ve used it only once to collect mushrooms to the woods , it has the crown at 9.00 and I would say it's not for a dayly use, honestly I'm not get used to such 060 case.

Bye for now.

I used to have a couple of old analog Casio MRG's with a left crown, it can be tricky to wind/set time but it's fine. The case shape is different for sure, and I wouldn't go out of my way to find more 060's, but I enjoy variety The main trouble I have is deciding on a strap. 18mm straps are pretty skinny. I have a temporary solution with a Vostok rubber strap with 18mm lugs and is 20mm wide which looks good for now, I'll post it later today. Cheers

It's black rubber. The buckle and keeper are silver though Maybe I'll replace them with black hardware, and just keep looking for more strap options.

It is a frankly beautiful clock, with clear military aesthetics. Although that box is not my favorite, its color makes it very, very attractive! Congratulations, mate! And thanks for sharing!

Beautiful score, congrats! Looking forward to your review!

Welcome and congratulations for that Ratnik comrade.
Especially because it is the "authentic" with the vostok movement.
You have to be careful because there are other versions with Chinese movement.

Very beautiful, it is a very exclusive piece.
