It's a Vostok Europe Automatic N1 Rocket GMT Watch arrived a couple of days ago all the way from AZ.

Powered by 31 jewel automatic Vostok 2426 decorated movement. GMT hand is NOT independent, screw down crown, mineral crystal front and exhibition back.

The case is brushed/polished solid stainless steel measuring 42mm in diameter and 14mm thickness.

I just changed the strap from a thick black leather strap to a black silicon rubber strap.

Thanks Mike for this sweet deal...

Nando,

It does look really good on the silicone strap. No, the 24 hour hand is not independent. Like the Torgoen Zulu series, you move the outer bezel and not the 24hr. hand to track a second time zone.

I'm guessing that it is a cheaper way to do the same thing as GMT with and independent 24hr. hand.
