Jonny Depp Komandirskie Photoshoot

The famous Johnny Depp Komandirskie Photo Shoot - Michel Haddi, 1998 on Depp Impact.

And the year is 1998... personally I thought it happened earlier.

Vostok Komandirskie 2416B Tank Dial

Johnny Depp had one...

...And so do I. Although his is from the late 1980s while mine is recent -- 2012.

In case someone is wondering the tank (although very stylized) is likely to be a T-62 type tank, distinguishable mainly by where the fume extractor is on the barrel. 

If you don't believe me, I invite you to consult this guide (filter all political and propaganda stuff though). 

This watch is an auto Komandirskie -- it is intermediate between the Vostok Amphibia(n) proper and the Komandirskie proper.

It differs from the Amphibia in that the case is chrome-plated brass and not stainless steel. From the regular Komandirskie it differs in that it has a self-winding Vostok 2416B movement like the Amphibia does.

It is running at + 20 seconds per 24 hours but is consistent, and the chrome plating is not what it used to be -- it wears off quickly at points of contact.

Still rate it as a good watch overall.
