Good catch. I just started noting the watches in Ep 5 that we watched last night. The Vostok is an interesting one. I have one of their Amphibia dive watches used in The Life Aquatic. Cheapish vintage look watches built like tanks.

I think you’re onto something… 🤔

One of the librarians at my high school did too, he bought it out of some catalog after the fall though

Because of MarkS

My take is that it's supposed to contrast with the Lumon watch he puts on almost immediately after we see the Vostok, in the first episode. Conformist, Soviet design having even more personality than what's allowed to the Severed.

Because he is SVR’d..

What d’you think, @gammacounter.bsky.social? Did you watch Severance?

gammacounter.bsky.social•44 days ago

Vostok Anfibia or Komandirskie Airborne Troops model. Highly authentic military issue. In fact you can get it on Amazon!

Good point! I think Ben even mentioned to pay attention to the watches on one of the podcasts.

Cool history professor stuff.

Cool history professor would be wearing a Rolex, or a Panerai.
Shit with history behind them.

oneirodynia.bsky.social•44 days ago

lol. How much do you think history professors get paid?

There is a Russian theme in the show ( the outfits at the ORTBO for instance). Not sure what it means yet.
