The Wostok (Vostok) 2214 is a manual‑wind Soviet wristwatch movement from the Chistopol Watch Factory, notable for its 22 mm architecture, central seconds, and date mechanism, used widely in Komandirskie and civilian models from the late 1960s onward. It combines a relatively large screw balance with a low beat rate for robustness, making it a durable calibre for everyday and military use.
