The Vostok “Radio Room” is more than just a watch – it is a true piece of maritime history. Its striking white-and-red dial was originally designed for the radio rooms of Soviet naval ships.
Radio operators were required to switch to the international distress frequency every 15 minutes for three minutes to listen for possible SOS calls. These quarter-hour intervals were clearly marked on the dials – a feature that still makes the Radio Room instantly recognizable today.
