The Wostok 2414 is a classic manual winding mechanical watch movement from Russia, known for its robustness and simplicity. It belongs to the highly popular series of Wostok movements widely used since the mid-to-late 20th century.
Key Features of the Wostok 2414 Movement
Type: Manual winding mechanical movement with no automatic winding feature.
Jewels: Utilizes 17 synthetic ruby jewels to reduce friction and wear on moving parts.
Beats per Hour: Operates at 19,800 vibrations per hour (A/h), providing a reliable balance between accuracy and durability.
Size: The movement measures approximately 24 mm in diameter (10 1/2 ligne).
Balance: Features a Glucydur anular balance with a three-arm design and is fitted with Russian-style shock protection.
Escapement: Uses a traditional pallet lever escapement.
Seconds Hand: The seconds hand is indirectly driven via a clever gear train design involving the third and fourth wheels.
Date Function: Equipped with a slow date change mechanism with a cam and switching wheel, allowing instant date change at midnight and half-quick correction by turning the hands backward and forward.
Winding Mechanism: Employs a yoke winding system with a crown wheel positioned halfway to the center, which is typical for this movement series.
Adjustment: Features a hairspring key for regulation and a moveable stud for precise adjustment.
Design: The movement is known for its robust construction and use in military and diver-style watches like the Komandirskie, favored for reliability over decades.
Performance: On timegrapher tests, it shows an accuracy range from -20 to +40 seconds per day in practical use, with positional variation but generally stable performance for daily wear.
This movement is highly regarded among collectors and watchmakers for its straightforward, durable design and ease of maintenance. It exemplifies the rugged engineering typical of Russian watchmaking during its era.
