Raketa Watch Factory Production

 

Mainly “Raketa” watch factory produces such types of watches: wrist watches with a 24h dial, perpetual calendar and nice pocket watches. All the watches are uncommon Russian souvenirs or Russian gifts.
The model with 24h dial is a necessity for submariners, miners, polar explorers, and space travellers, who needs to know whether it's day or night.

Russian 24 hour all time zones watch RAKETA - unique mechanical watch.
- Rare, 24 hours face
- Fully mechanical
- Second hand
- Case made of watch grade brass, titanium covered (body made at Russia as well as other parts)
- Rotating bezel with all major time zones and cities worldwide

But there are other models of these watch series with a bracelet included. And all the same, these “Raketa” watches are good Russian souvenirs or nice Russian gifts for people who appreciate such kind of wrist watches.

Another beautiful Raketa model is the exemplar with a curious perpetual calendar in Cyrillic!

Movement


Fully mechanical movement with day, date and calendar function. Calendar adjusted using second crown at 4 o'clock position.

Case and Dial


Chrome plated metal, approx. 38mm dia. Dial with day and month indication (in Cyrillic). This watch has calendar up to 2012. Unique watch.

The version with perpetual calendar allows (on the post-1991 models) to know the day of the week until the 2012!

Setting the Perpetual Calendar


The calendar is set by revolving the bottom display with the setting crown. The years, from 1992 through to 2012 are set to align below the corresponding month in the printed table above the year window.
In the bottom close-up (above), you will see that the year 1998 is aligned with the "JUN" (June) marking. In the upper day display (above), the calendar can be read by finding the day of the week, for example "MON" (Monday), and then reading the dates in the printed table below the day display. As you can see, there is a choice of dates of 1, 8, 15, 22 & 29. So, it is currently one of those days in June 1998.

“Raketa” watch factory produces nice pocket watches, also. Their dials are decorated with famous historical Russian insignias.
