About the brand:
Raketa is a Russian watch brand created in 1961 at the initiative of the Soviet government, with the aim of producing watches for the army and the space industry. Raketa watches were highly appreciated for their precision, durability, and reliability, and were worn by Soviet cosmonauts during historic space missions.

After the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991, the production of Raketa watches was privatized and the brand turned to the consumer market. Today, Raketa continues to produce high-quality, handmade watches in Russia, using traditional mechanical movements.

Raketa watches are considered collectible pieces by watch enthusiasts, due to their history and quality of craftsmanship. The brand is also known for its unique designs, inspired by Russian art and culture, making them elegant and original watches.
