Hello everybody,
I would presented to you another acquisition. It is an Amphibia Frogman (a.k.a. Scuba Dude) which was imported in Italy circa in 1989 probably by Time Trend. I said "probably", because there is no presence of booklet marked Time Trend; but the tags appears very similar to others of my Vostok Komandirskie chrono 3133 (see https://www.watchuseek.com/f10/italianosky-komandirskie-chrono-made-italy-649733.html#post4823409 ).

Firstly the outer box: "VOSTOK AVTOMATICESKIY" !

Opening. The usual (and unusable!!!!) leather holster, never seen in USSR, probably designed (and realised?) in Italy.
It is often found together 80's Komandirskie watches here in Italy. The tags means "Original Soviet product " and "Guarantee seal".

The back and guarantee. Dated 1989:

And finally the wristwatch. Absolutely new, with leather strap applied (in Time Trend probably believed that Italian taste did not likes epilator stainless-steel bracelet...)

That's all. Thank you for visit.
Buona domenica,
Claudio

and the strap came in the kit? was not a bracelet?

Yes Amil, for Italian market does appear born without S/S bracelet.... Could you find some further info??

This is mine. Leather case for me too (not present in the pic), with "scuba dude" engraved on the upper side.

Michele, do you mean the engraving on dial or another engraving on the strap?
