For the 10th edition of the "Off des Indépendants",

At Fréret-Roy you will find a few surprises in store!


Initially, to coincide with our “10th anniversary,” we planned to open the exhibition on November 10, as mentioned in issue No. 144 of Montres Magazine Special Collectors Edition, which features this “Off 10” on page 38! 


But November 10th is a Monday and the November 11th holiday dissuaded me... so, the exhibition will begin on Thursday, November 13th, 2025 and run through the end of December 2025.



Below are the first new features or announcements in chronological order!

A timeless case, steeped in history


The Espléndidos Heritage features the iconic curved rectangular case that first appeared in Cuervo y Sobrinos creations in the 1930s, during its greatest international success in the Roaring Twenties of Havana. This iconic silhouette, reinterpreted in its original spirit, offers gently curved lines and refined proportions that elegantly hug the wrist, exuding vintage charm and an inimitable Latin soul.

New at the Off 10 of the Independents


Raketa SU 0331

Under the radar, but on the wrist.


True to its tradition of designing technical watches for extreme professions, the Raketa manufacture presents a limited edition for pilots, the Raketa Su watch, made in collaboration with the Sukhoi design office.


The design of this model is inspired by the Su-57, a state-of-the-art, highly maneuverable, fifth-generation fighter jet. The watch's dark color palette is not merely an aesthetic choice; it reflects the advanced technologies and stealth features for which this aircraft is renowned. Just as the aircraft's fuselage, materials, and special coating render the jet virtually invisible to radar, the aircraft's convex, glossy silhouette imprinted on the matte black dial appears to blend into the shadows.


Its black PVD-coated case, high-contrast black and white hands, large numerals, Super-LumiNova coating, and double-sided anti-reflective coating on the sapphire crystal are reminiscent of the Su-57's digital instrument panel. The case features a screw-down crown that ensures water resistance up to 200 meters.


The silicone strap complements the ergonomic design of the model, harmonizing with the case to perfect its concept.


The open case back reveals the Raketa movement, manufactured entirely in the Raketa watch factory in Saint Petersburg. The printed designs on its self-winding rotor are inspired by the livery of the Su-57.


This model comes in a special metal case with two clasps and security tapes marked "Remove Before Flight." This echoes pre-flight procedures: just as the pilot must remove the red tags before takeoff, the watch owner must perform a similar ritual before accessing and wearing the watch.


The set includes an additional genuine leather bracelet and a 1:100 scale metal model of the Sukhoi Su-57 fighter.


This model is produced in a limited edition of only 800 copies.
