Never worn, in perfect condition. A rare piece for collectors and lovers of space-era design.

History
Raketa watches, crafted since the 1960s at the Petrodvorets Factory in Leningrad (now Saint Petersburg), are true Soviet-era treasures. The name "Raketa," meaning "rocket," reflects the USSR’s passion for space exploration and innovation. These watches are known for their durability and reliability, but what makes them truly special is that many models, including rare 24-hour versions, are no longer produced. Owning a Raketa means possessing a piece of history—a limited, collectible timepiece that stands out in today’s market where such authentic Soviet watches are increasingly hard to find.
