ZLATOUST Vodolaz 53mm (prototype)

By TLex As far as I know I am the first to publish these exclusive images of the prototype version of the new 53mm ZLATOUST 193-ChS 'Vodolaz'. Apart form its scaled down 53mm case and left-handed crown placement, the 53mm version has a couple of other cosmetic enhancements, such as a new handset and 'Agat' factory logo (12 0'clock) and 'Russia' text (6 o'clock) [not seen here].

The watch will also house a Vostok automatic movement. I think the best of the 53mm watch's new features are the inclusion of spring bars. As with all prototypes everything is subject to change. I've not seen the actual production model yet, but hope to very soon! Stay tuned . . .
