Vostok-Europe 'Gelezinis Vilkas' Iron Wolf 2024 Limited Edition Automatic NH72-225E764 Watch

The 2024 limited edition (701 pcs) is a sophisticated timepiece that embodies brutal elegance and modern precision. The watch design was created in accordance with the legend of the Vilnius city establishment and image of the brutal „Iron Wolf “with metal armors and mechanical „heart” inside.

According to the legend, Grand Duke Gediminas (ca. 1275 – 1341) was hunting in the sacred forest where Vilnia River flows into the Neris River. After the hunt, the Grand Duke fell asleep and dreamed of a huge Iron Wolf standing on top a hill and howling as strong and loud as a hundred wolves. In the morning the Grand Duke asked his pagan priest to interpret the dream.
"What is destined for the ruler and the State of Lithuania, is thus: the Iron Wolf represents a castle and a city which will be established by you on this site. This city will be the capital of the Lithuania lands and the dwelling of their rulers, and the glory of their deeds shall echo throughout the world." – the priest told him. Gediminas obeying the will of goods, established the city named Vilnius – from the stream of the Vilnia river.

Crafted from 316L stainless steel case and solid bracelet are decorated with a special "Wolf wool" engraving, adding a unique medieval legend touch. A durable ceramic ring in black bezel enhances the watch's robustness and scratch resistance. Black textured dial with metal indexes covered by black Super Luminova, ensuring readability in low light conditions. This timepiece is powered by a Japanese skeleton movement from TMI group coated by ruthenium, showing its mechanical parts through the dial. The case back has a green-tinted glass, providing a striking view of the movement.

The luminous “Gediminas Tower & Wolf head” printed on the inner side of glass is a unique and eye-catching design element. This feature creates a stunning visual effect that stands out, especially in the dark.
