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

After the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, Raketa watch production 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.

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