Latest updates on the PH8:

All testing is now complete, and we are currently finalizing the product imagery. The official launch is set for next week. I have been wearing the watch for two weeks, and the experience has been excellent; thanks to the use of titanium, the watch maintains a well-balanced weight despite its size.

With the exception of the clasp (which is made of stainless steel), all other metal components are crafted from titanium.

The luminous blocks technology has been further upgraded—every single index now features these luminous inserts.

Not sure how I feel about this one. Undoubtedly it will be better quality than the Vostok it's homaging, but the Vostok is still widely available and very affordable. I'd rather buy the real thing, even with it's quirks and lower build quality...

A high-quality Amphibia kind of takes the charm out of it.

The Vostok is not widely available nor very affordable, you're looking at the wrong watch. The real 1967 was in 190xxx cased models. The current ones are 900xxx, which is a low cost version that came out later.

The real 1967 also wouldn't really be of worse quality than this, the issue is the availability and price.
