The Vostok-Europe Expedition North Pole Solar Power on Bracelet (VS57/595A735B) is a distinguished timepiece that exemplifies the perfect blend of rugged functionality and sophisticated design, tailored for the most demanding environments on Earth. As part of the renowned "Expedition North Pole" collection, this watch is engineered to provide essential functionality and reliability, making it an indispensable tool for adventurers braving the extreme conditions of the Arctic.
The watch features a robust 47mm case with a thickness of 16.7mm, constructed from high-grade 316L stainless steel. This material is chosen for its exceptional resistance to corrosion and wear, ensuring the watch can withstand the harshest conditions. The case is further enhanced by a Rainbow Purple PVD coating, which not only adds a unique and striking visual appeal but also provides additional durability. The case finishing includes both matte and brushed textures, giving the watch a rugged yet refined appearance suitable for any occasion.
At the heart of the VS57/595A735B is a solar-powered movement from Seiko Epson of Japan, which embodies precision and sustainability. This cutting-edge movement harnesses the power of sunlight, ensuring uninterrupted functionality without the need for battery replacements. This feature is particularly valuable for long expeditions where reliability and independence from conventional power sources are crucial.
The watch’s dial is a complex, multi-layered masterpiece designed for maximum readability in any lighting condition. It includes luminescent indexes and skeletonized hands treated with Super Luminova, ensuring excellent visibility whether in the bright Arctic sun or the darkness of polar nights. Unique to the collection, the "Polar Light" model features a special coating, giving each piece its own unique pattern.
The VS57/595A735B is equipped with several specialized functions tailored for use in the Arctic. The left sub-dial displays the power storage level, while the right sub-dial features a 24-hour scale printed on the glass and an indication of the sun's position at the North Pole depending on the season (winter, spring, summer, or autumn). An additional minute scale is included on the case bezel, enhancing the watch’s functionality and precision.
Durability is a key feature of this timepiece, underscored by its 4.1mm thick K1 crystal glass, which offers superior scratch resistance. The screw-in caseback and screw-down crown further enhance the watch’s robustness, providing water resistance up to 20 bar (200m / 660ft), making it suitable for diving and other water-related activities.
The watch is mounted on a solid stainless steel bracelet, which offers both durability and a sophisticated look. Additionally, it comes with a glow-in-the-dark silicone strap and a leather strap, both featuring a quick-release system for easy customization without the need for tools. This versatility allows the wearer to adapt the watch to various conditions and styles.
