Embodying the profound essence of nautical history, the Vostok-Europe SSN 571 Automatic Submarine Watch is a testament to the marvels of the Atomic Punk era and the valiance of the US Submarine Service veterans. Officially recognized by the SSN-571 submarine Alumni Association, this timepiece pays tribute to the world's inaugural nuclear-powered submarine, which daringly completed a submerged North Pole transit on August 3, 1958.

At the heart of its design lies the Atomic Punk aesthetic – a retro-futuristic style encapsulating the innovative spirit of the nuclear age. The watch proudly features stand-up tritium tubes, which ensure constant luminosity. These 12 vertically mounted tritium tubes are set within patented reflective "candle holders", serving as radiant hour markers.

Crafted for extreme conditions, the watch boasts a robust 45.7mm diameter, 316L brushed stainless steel case that's 15.6mm thick. The multi-level dial is encased under a K1 crystal with an anti-reflective coating, offering a perfect blend of scratch resistance and shatterproof protection. Surrounding the dial is a uni-directional rotating bezel, which coupled with a 300-meter water resistance, makes it an authentic, professional-grade diver's watch.

Its powerful Seiko NH35A automatic movement guarantees precision timekeeping and comes with an impressive 41-hour power reserve. The intricately designed caseback features a 3D relief of an early SSN-571 prototype, evoking the indomitable spirit of the submarine service veterans.

Functionality meets versatility as this limited edition watch – of which only 3,000 will ever be crafted – is complemented by a genuine leather strap, a supplementary silicon strap, and a strap-changing tool. The entire ensemble is presented in a durable Pelican dry box.

With aggressive lugs, a grey dial, and a screw-down crown and caseback, this timepiece is unlike any other offering from Vostok-Europe. It isn't just a watch; it's a cherished collectible, a slice of history, and a salute to all submariners.
