In 1965, during the Voskhod 2 mission, cosmonaut Alexei Leonov wore a Vostok Amphibia watch while performing the first human spacewalk, a groundbreaking event in the Space Race.
The Vostok Amphibia, chosen for its durability and mechanical reliability in zero gravity, was integral to the mission.
Designed to withstand the harsh conditions of space, including significant temperature fluctuations and the vacuum of space, the watch flawlessly fulfilled its role.
Leonov’s historic 12-minute venture outside the spacecraft underscored the watch’s capability to operate under extreme conditions, solidifying its status as a symbol of human ingenuity and the technological prowess behind space exploration.
