The Vostok-Europe Expedition North Pole-1 Chronograph Watch (6S21-595C644) is an exquisite timepiece, handcrafted in Lithuania in a limited edition of only 3000 units. This watch draws inspiration from the pioneering North Pole-1, the first drifting station dedicated to scientific research in the Polar areas. Launched on June 6, 1937, near the North Pole, the station was instrumental in hydrological and geographical research, traveling an impressive 2,850 kilometers across the ice floe over nine months before concluding its expedition on February 19, 1938.
Reflecting the endurance and pioneering spirit of the North Pole-1 expedition, this watch is equipped with features tailored for extreme conditions:
**Case and Design:**
- The watch case measures 47.3×17 mm, providing a bold and substantial presence on the wrist.
- It is constructed from 316L stainless steel, known for its durability and corrosion resistance.

**Water Resistance and Movement:**
- This watch is water-resistant up to 20 ATM (200 meters), making it suitable for professional marine activity, serious surface water sports, and skin diving.
- It operates on the Miyota 6S21 Quartz movement, a reliable and precise mechanical-quartz movement from SII, ensuring accurate timekeeping.
**Strap Options:**
- The watch comes with a genuine leather strap, adding a touch of elegance and comfort to its rugged design.
- Additionally, options for a silicon strap or a metal bracelet are available, offering versatility for different preferences and activities.
**Chronograph Functionality:**
