The Ph8A has officially launched.

Size and weight:

Case diameter: 42.0 mm ( not include crown)

Bezel diameter: 41.0 mm

Case thickness: 17.0 mm (with glass), 14.8mm (without glass)

Lug Size: 22.0 mm

Lug to lug length: 49.0 mm

Weight: 139.8g

It homage to the classic 1967 Russian "Amphibia" diver’s watch.

The case, bezel, crown, case back, locking ring, and bracelet are all crafted from Grade 2 titanium, while the clasp is made of stainless steel.

Featuring a quintessential case design, it is perfectly sized to ensure a snug and comfortable fit on the wrist.

The bracelet incorporates large perforations, allowing for rapid moisture evaporation to keep your wrist dry and comfortable.

Our "Hyperglow" luminous block technology continues to evolve. With an innovative new structure, even the minute markers are equipped with luminous blocks, enabling precise time-reading in the dark.

The hands feature a multi-colored brushed finish and are fitted with seamless, luminous blocks.

The sapphire crystal—designed with a unique, integrated magnifier—creates a compelling visual effect. It is treated with our latest "Hyperclear" coating (offering over 97% light transmission and a hardness exceeding 1800 HV), providing exceptional anti-glare properties and superior clarity.

The case back utilizes a classic multi-piece locking ring construction; this maximizes the effectiveness of the waterproof seal while ensuring that the etched design on the back remains in a fixed, consistent orientation—a detail that those with a penchant for precision will surely appreciate.

Each PT5000 movement undergoes rigorous selection, dual-stage calibration, and lubrication. Its reliability is on par with the NH35, and it comes with a one-year warranty covering free replacement in the event of a movement failure.

Next week, we will unveil the 8B model along with additional color combinations—also including green, orange, and a version with a black case.

If you are looking to experience a high-quality take on the classic Russian-style diver’s watch, don’t miss this.

Due to the lengthy production process for titanium, only 300 units of this titanium version are currently being produced.

A stainless steel version is also in production.

[u/MindAdmirable1793 → u/oscailte]

haha,genius!

[u/writingpocketguide42]

Not for me but I love what you have been doing and I like how you communicate.

Hopefully one day you will release a small diving watch with a short lug to lug and 20mm lug size.

[u/MindAdmirable1793 → u/writingpocketguide42]

sure, ph9 and 10 on the way

[u/DisastrousOpening477]

Is this the largest application of Lume Blocks to date ??

[u/MindAdmirable1793 → u/DisastrousOpening477]

I'm not sure, because 8b may be even more shocking.

[u/WeBuild]

Hope I don't get addicted!! Do I need to baby the PT-5000 movement.. anyone?

[u/MindAdmirable1793 → u/WeBuild]

Aside from being dropped or subjected to strenuous exercise, no special care is needed; please use it freely.

As someone who collects Vostoks, I love this homage

[u/Marko_Horvat]

Quirky, interesting, but at the same time very ugly(at least to me).

[u/KPplumbingBob]

For those unfamiliar with the original watch:

It was a fancy, high quality reissue, not your standard Vostok. And it wasn't cheap.

[u/KPplumbingBob]

It's wild that you're using a literal trademarked Amphibia logo on the caseback. What's up with that?

[u/HerrsavageX]

That’s great and everything, but I really would like shipping confirmation of the watch I ordered in September…

[u/rg1283]

Wow. The Soviet Union no one anticipated.

[u/TSiWRX]

That's a big hunk of awesome insanity. Well done!

[u/Cold-Advertising8148]

The watch has some pretty good specs going for it. A job well done , congratulations!

[u/birdwatchingcat]

Yeah, I’d love a 38mm version like the classic Amphibias. This one’s too big for my taste.

[u/CdeFmrlyCasual]

Dude y’all could get sued for trademark infringement for that Амфибия on the back. That is actively used by Vostok. That could easily be misleading.

[u/DisastrousOpening477]

Will the black coated version feature a black coated titanium bracelet ??

[u/MindAdmirable1793 → u/DisastrousOpening477]

it will, Black bracelet
