With a compass bezel... not everyone likes it but I don't mind it... you can still use it to mark time. It rotates.
This is a Vostok Ampibia wrist watch with a Cal. 2416B automatic movement -- self-winding but can be hand wound as well.
The movement is like this one (but not this decorated version of course).
Date of manufacture is marked as 10.07.07 -- tenth day of July in the year of our Lord 2007.
And it cost me RUB 1,300 in 2007 (US$ 36 at current rates).
I wore it from 2007 to 2011.
Used it often for sauna session - at least once a week, which finally was its undoing. Time keeping became very erratic in 2011, sometimes it would stall for no reason, at other times it would be way too fast -- those sauna sessions, I think, got to it.
So early 2012 I replaced it with this Scuba Dude.

Wear and tear -- all mine.The thick acrylic (?) crystal can take a lot punishment but it does not go unnoticed.
Stainless steel bracelet... of the cheaper variety but serves its purpose.
Back, says water proof 200m, antishock, Amphibia and automatic.
