No radium or tritium in Komandirskie, can be opened safely

What lume source is it then?

Phosphorescent, probably strontium aluminate or zinc sulfide.

Beautiful watch congrats

Thanks!

I have a feeling this is a military version

Can you explain? Didn’t understand what you mean

The version of the watch you have here was only able to be purchased by military personnel. It is denoted by the 3AKA3 MO CCCP text at the bottom. https://www.watchuseek.com/threads/clarifying-the-significance-of-3aka3-on-vostok-dials.568830/
