This time I fell for the Vostok Amphibia, a ridiculously affordable Russian diver. Watch the video for a little history – it’s fascinating stuff. There seem to be hundreds of styles to choose from on this site. Here’s mine.
Oh! For you trivia-obsessed bastards, this is the watch that Steve Zissou’s crew wore in Wes Anderson’s The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, only it was this dial …
These were in Life Aquatic? Do they come with a red cap and a speedo?
That’ll cost you extra.
I realize this is a rather anachronistic hobby, what with all the smart phones and Apple watches. Maybe I’ll start collecting typewriters next …
Maybe they’re making a comeback. One of my little droogs just ordered a watch and was pretty psyched to show it off when it arrived.
