Raketa - Steel Violet Dial - 1970s

Why did I choose this watch?
– Its patinated purple dial
– Its atypical case
– The robustness of its movement

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 military and space industry. The Raketa watches were highly appreciated for their precision, robustness, and reliability, and they 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 watches, handcrafted in Russia, using traditional mechanical movements.

The Raketa watches are considered true collector's items by enthusiasts, due to their history and manufacturing quality. The brand is also known for its unique designs, inspired by Russian art and culture, making them elegant and original watches.
