Vostok Europe Expedition North Pole Polar Light Solar Quartz Watch with Blue Dial.
The Expedition North Pole line follows North Pole 1, the first drifting research station, opened on June 6, 1937, some 20 km from the Pole and closed on February 19, 1938, after 2,850 km on the ice. On the Expedition North Pole Solar 24H, a 24-hour indicator joins a light-charged movement. The 316L stainless steel case measures 47 mm across and 16.7 mm thick.
Made in Japan, the S.Epson VS57 solar-powered quartz movement powers the hours, minutes, seconds, date and a power storage indicator beneath a K1 crystal with anti-reflective coating, and a full charge lasts 5 months. The case back is solid.
The blue dial of the Polar Light is skeletonized in layers over the solar cell, with a fixed bezel, in a case finished in rainbow PVD. Super-LumiNova coats the hands and indices. The watch is delivered with a leather strap and a silicone strap, measuring 24 mm at the lugs and closed by a buckle.
The first drifting station for hydrological and geographical research in the polar area. It opened on June 6, 1937, about 20 km from the Pole, drifted 2,850 km on its ice floe over 9 months and closed on February 19, 1938. Vostok Europe has built its watches in Vilnius, Lithuania, since August 2003, on Russian movements until 2014 and on Japanese movements since.
Approximately 5 months from a full charge. A solar cell under the dial converts any light into energy stored in a rechargeable cell, so daylight or a lamp keeps the watch running.
A synthetic crystal that combines the shock resistance of hardened mineral crystal with a scratch resistance close to sapphire. On these cases it carries an anti-reflective coating for readability.
The distance between the lugs determines that, and here it measures 58.2 mm. That span sits across the top of the wrist and matters more than the 47 mm of the case.
Seiko Epson in Japan. Vostok Europe used Russian movements until 2014 and has worked with Japanese suppliers since, so the case is assembled in Lithuania around a Japanese quartz movement.
