New Brand Commander Watches Short Review

[Alex Samuel]

Commander watches have been a great gift for over 50 years now. The history of watches, purchase conditions and their consumer properties.

Commander watches were first released in Soviet times. Getting them was extremely prestigious. This was available only to officers and soldiers who showed valor and courage in the course of hostilities.

Watches in that period were valuable in themselves, so the idea of ​​using them as a reward became popular. It is difficult to correlate them with medals, orders or diplomas - for hours they were not awarded officially, but they became a memorable and symbolic gift. This idea cannot be called new: diplomats and merchants presented the watch as a gift to their foreign colleagues back in the XIV century in the hope of quickly resolving various issues. And in tsarist Russia, courtiers and servants were awarded with nominal hours.

A brief excursion into history
The history of the Commander’s brand dates back to 1965. ThenChistopol watch factory "East"Received a special order from the Ministry of Defense of the Soviet Union for the production of award mens  watches rafiqsonsonline(.)com/product-category/mens-watch/. The first models were waterproof and shockproof, and two years later an improved Amphibian model appeared, which made it possible to dive to a depth of 200 meters without damage to the mechanism. The quality and reliability of the watches is evidenced by the 29-day stay in space of Amphibian as part of the equipment of the flight engineer of the Salyut-4 space stationGeorge Mikhailovich Grechkoin 1975.

The watch was intended for use by military personnel, therefore, the design clearly shows a tendency to minimalism and asceticism. What remains relevant for the commander's watches of modern production.

For a long time, they remained inaccessible and demonstrated belonging to the elite. However, in the 80s, the fashion for everything Soviet changed the situation radically. Commander watches went into the category of mass-acquired goods, both on the territory of the USSR and beyond. An interesting fact, in the 80s the export of watches to the United States reached the figure of 45 thousand copies annually. As a result, the commander’s watch turned into a symbol of the USSR.
Such popularity has played a cruel joke with the watches of the Commander brand.Probability to purchase quality goods has fallen significantly: the number of fakes has grown to unimaginable sizes.

Has the brand retained popularity today?

The unusual rough look of the commander’s watches compares them favorably with any other brand. Most often, the case is made in the form of a circle from white or yellow metal. The classic commander's watch is complemented by a leather belt, and some models are made using a metal bracelet.

Such watches are perfect for those who prefer the military style. They can make the image more restrained, strict, but at the same time original. It is worth noting that the commander’s watch does not fit well with other accessories. Choosing them, one should abandon voluminous and elaborate jewelry - it is inappropriate to use such concise watches with a frivolous scarf, earrings or a gold ring-signet
