The Vostok-Europe Energia-2 Limited Edition Automatic Watch NH35A/575A279 is a remarkable timepiece, encapsulating both advanced technology and historical significance. Handcrafted in Lithuania, this watch is a tribute to the Energia, the most powerful space launcher in history, which embarked on its maiden voyage in 1987. The Energia's decade-long development led to its capability of transporting payloads up to 100 tons, a feat mirrored in the watch's robust construction and innovative features.
Limited to just 3000 units, the Energia-2 watch boasts a 30 atm water-resistant and 48mm diameter case, housing a reliable Seiko NH35 automatic movement. Among its standout features is a helium release valve, crucial for commercial divers operating in deep waters. This spring-loaded one-way valve activates when internal and external pressure differences reach a critical level, a testament to the watch's professional-grade specifications.
The watch is further enhanced by a 3.5 mm thick hardened mineral K1 crystal, known for its durability and clarity. The exhibition case back offers a glimpse into the intricate workings of the automatic movement, while the screw-in crown ensures water resistance and secure adjustments.
Illumination in low-light conditions is provided by 18 Swiss-made tritium tubes: 13 are embedded in dial indexes-reflectors, 4 in the hands, and one in a sapphire capsule in the bezel. This feature ensures legibility in any environment, a nod to the watch's space exploration inspiration.
Aesthetic versatility is achieved with custom leather and silicon straps, easily interchangeable with a single screwdriver. The entire watch set is presented in an original XL-size dry box, which can be transformed into a Collector’s Box. This box includes cells for storing up to 4 watches, 4 additional straps, and a screwdriver, making it a complete package for watch enthusiasts and collectors alike.
In essence, the Vostok-Europe Energia-2 is more than a timepiece; it's a piece of history, a tool for professionals, and a work of art for collectors, all encapsulated in a design inspired by a monumental space achievement.
