This vintage Raketa dress watch is a charming piece of Soviet-era design, featuring a square gold-tone case, crisp Arabic numerals, and a simple date window at 3 o'clock. Made in the USSR, this Raketa model reflects the utilitarian elegance and mechanical reliability that defined much of Soviet horology. Founded in 1961, Raketa (Russian for "Rocket") was one of the USSR’s most iconic watchmakers, producing timepieces built for endurance and clarity, worn by both civilians and military personnel alike.
