VOSTOK Model-T: Analogue blind watch with a mechanical movement from Russia. The time is read by touching the hands in conjunction with the tactile increments on the hour. These are not ?real? Braille symbols. Braille symbols for numbers are difficult to read in a circle on a clock. Therefore, this form of analog blind watch has not changed for decades and, with a little practice, can be read very well by people with visual impairments.
Nowadays there are watches that even talk, beep or measure your pulse, but there's actually nothing like a simple ticking mechanical solution without the hassle of changing batteries
Original Russian VOSTOK Model-T. By pressing the pusher in the middle of the crown, you open the watch glass and can easily feel the time. The hands and dial are designed to be extra robust for this purpose. The watch is wound by turning the crown. You can set the time by pulling out the crown slightly. The mechanical Vostok movement caliber 2401 has a power reserve of at least 38 hours and is robust and reliable. With a diameter of 36mm and a height of 11mm, the watch is relatively compact in contrast to modern watches, but this is an advantage as it can also be worn by women and young people.
FUNCTIONS: Time display via tactile hands and indicators: hours / minutes CASE: high-quality chrome-plated brass, lug width 18mm, mineral glass, stainless steel back cover, Ø 36mm, height: 11mm, water-resistant DIAL: White with Arabic black numbers and raised indicators
