The Russian watch factory

Raketa

of Saint Petersburg

presents all of its collections exclusively in Paris at Fréret-Roy!

And don't get involved in politics!

In 1961 the brand “Raketa” (rocket in Russian) was launched in honor of the first manned spaceflight by cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin.

Raketa watches are manufactured in the Petrodvorets factory in Peterhof, a stone's throw from the summer palace of Tsar Peter the Great.

The historic factory has been completely renovated in recent years and the new Raketa watch collections are available exclusively in France at Fréret-Roy in Paris.

The factory is one of the few manufactures in the world to produce its own mechanisms from A to Z. The plans for the automatic caliber "Raketa-Avtomat" 2624 lay dormant in the old Petrodvorets factory, abandoned... The caliber, rediscovered and brought up to date, improved, was launched in 2014 and is manufactured entirely in the Petrodvorets factory, as well as the escapement and the spring, which makes the Raketa brand a true watchmaking manufacture.



You’ll find the complete Raketa collection at Fréret Roy, including the last remaining pieces from certain limited editions and models exclusive to the Boutique that can’t be found anywhere else.

Please note that retail prices will change as of August 1, 2026.

Collection overview

The Raketa “Avtomat” calibers:

Raketa watches are created around Russian mechanical movements

manufactured in our Peterhof factory in Saint Petersburg!

Raketa movement components are not produced by CNC machines. They are handcrafted using traditional Russian methods by men and women who infuse a little of their soul into each component they create. You can visit the Raketa Watch Factory and see for yourself how they work.

Here are some figures to give you an idea of how the Raketa Classic “Big Zero” is manufactured:
8,201 operations are required to fully produce this watch

103 specialists are needed to produce all the components of this watch

242 components are on your wrist (including the movement components) when you wear this watch..

The caliber Avtomat 2615 equips all Raketa watches with a 12-hour display, in different finishes depending on the model:

Big Zero, Copernicus, Amphibia, Avant-Garde...

This caliber also exists in a version Avtomat 2615R modified, which runs in reverse and equips the models "Russian Code".

The caliber Avtomat 2624 equips all watches with 24-hour display, one of Raketa's specialties.

Avtomat 2615 caliber

Raketa Golden Key 0328

W-01-10-10-0328

Your key to the fairy tale

In the fairy tale The Adventures of Buratino (the Russian version of Pinocchio), a key opened the door to a world where your dearest dreams came true. Today, Raketa makes it the "key" that winds a watch and reminds you that you can always find the time to turn your dreams into reality. Simply use this key to start your watch and make your wish come true.

The connection to the fairy tale is further emphasized by the watch case, crafted from natural walnut wood. This model pays homage to a rare Raketa watch with a wooden case, produced in the 20th century, while offering a modern reinterpretation. The case is coated with a varnish that provides additional protection against warping and moisture, while preserving the natural beauty of the material.

The key for winding the watch is attached to a leather cord, allowing it to be worn around the neck as a pendant or on the wrist as a bracelet. As the fairy tale goes, "with the right key, the right door will always open." At the heart of this watch is the Russian hand-wound movement, created from start to finish by the Raketa manufacture, one of the few manufacturers in the world that still produces its own movements.

This watch was symbolically unveiled on New Year's Eve 2025, the perfect time to make a wish and move closer to its fulfillment. Take a moment to reflect on the dream you're currently pursuing. While the fairy tale mentions only one key, Raketa offers 300, one for each watch in this limited edition. There will only be 300, no more, guaranteeing the creation of 300 unique stories around the world—and yours could be one of them!

While production is still underway, we are offering this watch for pre-order! This way, connoisseurs can be among the first to experience this fairytale. Once the owner receives their watch, they can wind it using the key and bring it to life.

Price: €3480 (VAT included)

This limited edition of 300 pieces is currently available.

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 pieces.

Raketa Pilot 0329

The sky's the limit

In designing its new Pilot model, Raketa sought to recreate the spirit of the first pilot's watches, according to the principle of "nothing superfluous".

Designed in a classic style while retaining Raketa's original identity, the new case with its clean facets combines a high-gloss polish with a satin finish. This look is harmoniously complemented by the stainless steel bracelet, which underscores the watch's masculine character.

Several features ensure excellent legibility in all lighting conditions. Super-LumiNova coating is applied to the hour markers and large numerals on the dial, as well as to the hour and minute hands. Contrast is created through color combinations: all the hands, including the bright yellow seconds hand, stand out perfectly against the matte black dial, styled like an aviation instrument. A double-sided anti-reflective coating on the sapphire crystal provides an additional guarantee of readability.

Raketa

Amphibia 0321

A Raketa for total immersion

Raketa today presents an updated version of its legendary diving watch.

While retaining the spirit and identity of its predecessors, the design and features of this model meet all the modern requirements of a diving watch.

Its new stainless steel case is capable of withstanding pressures up to a depth of 200 meters. Its threaded and screw-down crown protects the movement from any water penetration.

Its unidirectional bezel with luminescent markers and a 15-minute scale produces audible clicks, ensuring error-free adjustment and eliminating the risk of accidental misalignment. The raised starting point further enhances its ease of use.

Its high-contrast dial with large indexes and hands ensures easy reading and improves dive control.

Its brightly colored silicone strap is designed for comfort in the water: thanks to perforations along its entire length, the size can be adjusted to fit perfectly over a wetsuit and prevent water from pooling underneath. An additional black silicone strap is included, and changing straps is very easy thanks to the quick-release system.

The heart of the Raketa Amphibia is its automatic movement, manufactured entirely at the Raketa watch factory in Saint Petersburg. Its rotor is adorned with the image of a mermaid inspired by illustrations from Russian folktales. It evokes the secret dream of every diver: to encounter a beautiful mermaid beneath the sea.

New cushion-shaped case measuring 40 mm in diameter and 14.05 mm in thickness, round bezel, sapphire crystal, crown featuring an underlying ruby, transparent case back.

Presented with a white dial and multi-layered lacquered black numerals in 2022, the new Big Zero with a black dial has just been launched at the end of 2023!

The numbers and indices are once again made of multi-layered lacquer, but are very luminescent!

The original design of this watch dates back to the 1970s and has become an icon of Raketa style. During an official trip to Italy, Mikhail Gorbachev was asked by journalists what Perestroika meant for the USSR. Gorbachev replied that Russians had started their lives anew from scratch, and, demonstrating his point, he showed the number “0” displayed instead of “12” on his Raketa watch. Since then, Raketa watches have always started at zero, not 12. This is Raketa's hallmark, and in particular, the signature of the classic “Big Zero” models.

The new case was designed to showcase the white dial with its large, multi-layered lacquered numerals that had made the original model so successful. With its very compact design, it retains the rounded shape of its predecessor. The architecture of the new case, now based on a cushion shape, offers ample surfaces where brushed and polished finishes contrast.

Finally, as a final little detail, a ruby shines behind the Raketa factory logo, which is cut out of the crown, recalling the lapidary origins of the factory founded in Peterhof, a stone's throw from Peter the Great's palace, 300 years ago.

BIG ZERO "Greige" 0297

The Big Zero, with a steel bracelet

Raketa is launching its most iconic watch model, the Big Zero, for the first time with a solid steel bracelet!

The beige dial—a color between gray and beige—is housed in a steel case with a matching steel bracelet, highlighting the watch's minimalist design and giving it a timeless appeal. The hands, along with the large numerals and indices coated with Super-LumiNova, ensure perfect legibility at night, while emphasizing the bold aesthetic and functionality of this design.

The Big Zero is undoubtedly one of the most famous horological creations of the Soviet era, having stood the test of time and won hearts worldwide. This watch cannot be called a classic in the conventional sense. However, its exceptional design has undeniably made it a Raketa classic.

The elegant metallic exterior of the Big Zero "Greige" continues inside the watch. The transparent case back reveals the beautifully decorated Raketa automatic movement, entirely designed and manufactured at the Raketa watch factory in Saint Petersburg.

A limited production run of 200 units was launched this year. Subsequent series will be manufactured in the future according to the production plan.

The Big Zero is one of the few watch designs from the Soviet era to have crossed borders and time.

By conventional standards, this design is not classic. However, it has become a Raketa classic thanks to its unique and timeless quality!

The Middle Eastern classic

Raketa has reimagined its most iconic model specifically for the Middle East, with an Arabic dial and under the name Big Zero Arabic.

The traditional and symbolic "0" of the Raketa watchmaking manufacture always remains on the dial, while the other numerals are in oriental Arabic, the font being inspired by the original Soviet style model.

The black and white range of the new dial is complemented by a Raketa logo in Arabic script, created by renowned calligrapher Mohammad Sharaf, in the brand's iconic red color.

The transparent case back reveals a carefully decorated Raketa automatic movement, entirely manufactured at the Raketa watch factory in Saint Petersburg.

Big Zero "Cosmic Blue"

W-11-16-20-0294

It all starts with space

True to its tradition of annual launches, the Raketa watchmaking manufacture presents its iconic Big Zero model in a special new shade: Cosmic Blue. This color is so unique, so rich, and so deep that it seems to capture the infinite sky above Peterhof, and the famous quote from Yuri Gagarin comes to mind: "Let's go!"

The dial is bright and clean, with contrasting matte white indices and hands, combining absolute simplicity with perfect legibility in a distinctive style recognizable at first glance.

The watch comes with a genuine leather strap in the same shade of blue. Consistent, elegant, unparalleled.

This edition commemorates Space Week and a double anniversary: the 65th anniversary of the first manned spaceflight and the 65th anniversary of the Raketa brand. To make it even more special, the first series is limited to only 100 pieces.

The heart of this watch is the Russian automatic movement, entirely manufactured from start to finish at the Raketa factory, one of the few in the world still producing its own movements. The open case back reveals a handcrafted Raketa movement and its rotor, decorated with waves of the Neva River and plated in red, bearing a pad-printed logo.

Я (“I”) at the center of time

The collaboration between Masha Yankovskaya and the watch brand Raketa is a fusion of artistic expression and engineering tradition. While Yankovskaya's art has an explicitly feminine identity, it can equally resonate with both masculine and feminine experiences.

Masha Yankovskaya's distinctive "Ya" replaces the 6 o'clock marker, emphasizing individuality and personality. Time is a central theme in art, explored by numerous artists across different eras and artistic languages. Time permeates people, social roles, cities, countries, lifestyles, fashion trends, and tastes throughout our lives. Our own "Ya" (Ya, meaning "I"), our identity and personality, remains with us through the years. This inner "Ya" is stronger than the course of history.

equipped with the 2615 caliber from the Big Zero,

The Malevich models are now available in three versions: Square, Circle and Cross.

A Triptych comprising the three watches is offered in a limited edition...

"Raketa Malevich"

Triptych

Square, Circle, Cross

Time taking shape

The Raketa Malevich Triptych watch is the result of a collaboration between the manufacture and the Russian Museum (in Saint Petersburg) which houses the entire geometric series of Malevich including the Black Circle, the Black Cross and the famous Black Square.

Black and white minimalism, the rejection of generally accepted rules, the renunciation of conventions, and the return to the simplest forms are just a few common traits between Malevich's concept and Raketa's philosophy. Furthermore, the simple geometric forms of the square, the circle, and the cross, which Malevich considered traditional symbols of the universe, reflect Raketa's very essence, which is itself directly linked to the cosmos and its representation in art.

The dial is crafted with natural semi-precious stones selected for their visual resemblance to the paintings. With their understated colors and shapes, the watch designs allow for limitless interpretations, much like Malevich's own works.

Each watch in the Raketa Malevich Triptych limited edition series was produced in a limited run of 500 pieces. The collector's set, comprising all three watches, allows you to complete the triptych.

The mechanisms of each watch are manufactured from start to finish by the Raketa watch factory in Saint Petersburg and meticulously decorated by the factory's artisans. Malevich's Black Square, Black Circle, and Black Cross are imprinted on the black coating of the oscillating weight.

Raketa

"Malevich Square"

Time taking shape

The Raketa Malevich Square watch is the result of a collaboration between the manufacture and the Russian Museum (in Saint Petersburg) which houses the entire geometric series of Malevich including the Black Square.

The apparent simplicity of the Black Square carries fundamental significance for Malevich. To destroy "the conventional art of the past," he first had to reduce everything to the "zero of forms," the central core around which he could construct his new art. He explains that the painting represents a "Big Zero," symbolizing both an end and a beginning, and that its creation marks the starting point of a new universal artistic system that would become the foundation of contemporary abstract art.

The simple geometric shape of the square, complementing the circle and the cross that Malevich considered as traditional symbols of the universe, refers to Raketa's DNA, directly linked to the cosmos and its representation in art.

The dial is crafted with natural semi-precious stones selected for their visual resemblance to the painting. With its understated colors and shapes, this watch design lends itself to limitless interpretations, much like Malevich's own works.

The mechanisms of each watch are manufactured from start to finish by the Raketa watch factory in Saint Petersburg and meticulously decorated by the factory's artisans. Malevich's Black Square, Black Circle, and Black Cross are imprinted on the black coating of the oscillating weight.

The Raketa Malevich Square limited edition is limited to 500 pieces.

Raketa

"Malevich Circle"

Time taking shape

The Raketa Malevich Circle watch is the result of a collaboration between the manufacture and the Russian Museum (in Saint Petersburg) which houses the entire geometric series of Malevich including the Black Circle.

The circle is a fundamental element of the Suprematist concept invented by Malevich: like the Black Square, it is the most economical form possible, but unlike the Black Square, it contains an active element. Indeed, instead of placing the circle in the center, Malevich moves it to the upper right, which makes the form dynamic and renders the meaning of the painting ambiguous—and therefore abstract.

The dial is crafted with natural semi-precious stones selected for their visual resemblance to the painting. With its understated colors and shapes, this watch design lends itself to limitless interpretations, much like Malevich's own works.

The mechanisms of each watch are manufactured from start to finish by the Raketa watch factory in Saint Petersburg and meticulously decorated by the factory's artisans. Malevich's Black Square, Black Circle, and Black Cross are imprinted on the black coating of the oscillating weight.

The Raketa Malevich Circle limited edition is limited to 500 pieces.

"Malevich Cross"

Time taking shape

The Raketa Malevich Cross watch is the result of a collaboration between the manufacture and the Russian Museum (in Saint Petersburg) which houses the entire geometric series of Malevich including the Black Cross.

According to Malevich's concept, the cross is the most complex form in the cycle. Through its vertical and horizontal lines, it connects active and passive elements, embodying the unity of spiritual and earthly principles. Furthermore, the simple geometric form of the cross, complementing the square and the circle—which Malevich considered traditional symbols of the universe—refers to Raketa's DNA, directly linked to the cosmos and its representation in art.

The dial is crafted with natural semi-precious stones selected for their visual resemblance to the painting. With its understated colors and shapes, this watch design lends itself to limitless interpretations, much like Malevich's own works.

The mechanisms of each watch are manufactured from start to finish by the Raketa watch factory in Saint Petersburg and meticulously decorated by the factory's artisans. Malevich's Black Square, Black Circle, and Black Cross are imprinted on the black coating of the oscillating weight.

"Avant-garde"
Art in motion

Based on the original model with its famous red triangular hand, the new version of the Raketa “Avant-Garde” watch is moving upmarket.

This model now has a multi-layered dial, a more sophisticated case and more striking hands which, thanks to Super-LumiNova, indicate the time even in the dark.

But one of the key design choices was to replace the usual numerals with letters: zero, three, six, nine. The three main colors of avant-garde art—red, white, and black—combined with the strict geometry of the hands and typefaces, emphasize the beauty and uniqueness of each moment. Even a quick glance at your wrist will remind you of this, revealing a new work of art on the watch dial each time.

Inspired by the idea that the Raketa “Avant-Garde” model is art in motion, you can tirelessly reinterpret the constantly renewing composition on the dial in your own way, and give it new meanings.

The movement of abstract geometric shapes on the dial is powered by a Raketa automatic movement designed and manufactured at the Raketa watch factory in Saint Petersburg. The transparent case back allows the elegance of the movement and its harmonious operation to be appreciated.

Russian Code "0302.1"

Avtomat 2615 R caliber

Change direction with this watch

which rotates in the opposite direction

Clockwise!

Live in rhythm with the Universe!

The "Russian Code," the watch that runs counter-clockwise, is today one of the most iconic models from the Raketa manufacture. Having become legendary, the Russian Code is now fully integrated into the brand's collections.

The Russian Code 0302 introduces a completely new case: a combination of sharp facets and rounded curves is highlighted by a mix of satin finishes and polished edges, while the sapphire crystal has a more complex domed shape. As with the Big Zero, an underlying synthetic ruby adorns the Raketa manufacture logo engraved at the center of the crown.

The center of the dial displays the constellations above St. Petersburg on the morning of April 12, 1961, when Yuri Gagarin made history by becoming the first man to fly in space. The textured, polished hour markers with two types of coating (light rhodium on even numbers and dark rhodium on odd numbers) lend an additional three-dimensional appearance to the already multi-layered dial.

Behind this elegant design lies the revolutionary concept that time should flow in harmony with the natural movement of the planets in our solar system, counter-clockwise. Thus, just as the planets revolve around the sun, the hands of the Raketa "Russian Code" rotate on the dial in the opposite direction to a conventional clockwise direction.

Are you ready to upgrade to the new generation of watches that beat to the rhythm of the Universe?

A watch that invites you to be different!

To adopt and wear this watch, one must break free from the most fundamental rule of reading time: the movement of time in the clockwise direction, which has been taught to us since the watch was invented.

Indeed, early humans told time using sundials by observing the clockwise movement of the sun across the sky (from left to right) and the corresponding shadow on the dial (from right to left). When our ancestors eventually invented the concept of hands (instead of shadows) moving across a dial, they naturally decided to retain this clockwise movement they observed in nature.

But this decision is flawed by a serious error: the Sun does not move clockwise across the sky. It's an illusion; it doesn't move at all. It's the Earth that moves counterclockwise around the Sun! More precisely, the Sun appears to move clockwise across the sky when viewed from the Earth's northern hemisphere; in the southern hemisphere, it moves in the opposite direction. The reason early watchmakers decided to reproduce the clockwise movement observed in the northern hemisphere on their dials is simply because they all lived in the northern hemisphere!

True to Raketa's DNA!

The Russian Code watch underscores the connection between Raketa and the Cosmos: the Raketa brand (which means "Space Rocket" in Russian) was created in 1961 in honor of the first manned spaceflight by Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin. Since then, Raketa's designers and engineers have always been inspired by space and have regularly created watches for cosmonauts and watches celebrating the solar system.

A watch with a very special movement!

The counter-clockwise movement of the hands is powered by a very special Raketa automatic movement (2615R). The engineers at the Raketa watchmaking manufacture reversed the movement of the hands by modifying the construction of the two most important components of the mechanical movement: the mainspring barrel and the escapement module! This technical feat was only possible because Raketa produces 100% of these parts in-house.

Le temps à contre-courant

La manufacture horlogère Raketa Premium lance une nouvelle version de sa Russian Code, une montre qui va à l’encontre du sens habituel du temps. Ce modèle a été présenté pour la première fois le 3 juin 2026, lors du Forum économique international de Saint-Pétersbourg. Cet événement a constitué un moment fort de la présence de la marque au sein du programme d’affaires du Forum.

La nouvelle version du modèle offre une ambiance différente, une palette de couleurs naturelles et chaudes, ainsi que quelques fonctionnalités supplémentaires, notamment :

•  un boîtier en acier inoxydable présentant une double finition : polie et satinée ;
•  un verre saphir bombé créant un effet de lentille et un aspect tridimensionnel ;
•  un cadran beige clair, doté d’index convexes et d’une image en 3D de la Terre au centre, dont la surface est divisée en fines lignes de méridiens. C’est ce qui a donné au modèle son nom complet, faisant écho à l’idée que le temps et l’espace obéissent à une géométrie rigoureuse. Le logo Raketa est délibérément placé juste au-dessus de la Russie sur la carte du monde ;
•  un bracelet en cuir véritable marron orné d’encoches bleues contrastantes qui font écho aux couleurs de l’océan sur le cadran, renforçant ainsi l’harmonie visuelle du modèle.

On peut observer le mouvement fonctionner à travers le fond transparent de la montre. Cette montre Raketa étant dotée d’un mouvement qui tourne à l'envers, ses aiguilles se déplacent dans le sens inverse des aiguilles d'une montre habituelle en raison de la conception inversée des principaux composants du mouvement. Les ingénieurs de la manufacture horlogère Raketa ont inversé le mouvement des aiguilles en modifiant la construction des deux pièces les plus importantes du mouvement mécanique: le barillet du ressort moteur et le module d'ancre!

Ce que nous appelons communément « le cours normal du temps » n’est qu’une illusion d’optique née dans l’hémisphère nord il y a plusieurs siècles. Les gens ont observé l’ombre d’un cadran solaire se déplacer en cercle et ont décidé que cette direction était la seule valable. L’univers fonctionne pourtant différemment, puisque la Terre tourne autour du Soleil dans le sens inverse des aiguilles d’une montre. La montre "Russian Code" ramène le temps à ce rythme cosmique : l’aiguille des heures recule, et l’aiguille des secondes — en forme de Lune — tourne également autour de la Terre dans le sens inverse. Ce que vous voyez sur le cadran n’est pas une simple abstraction, mais un modèle astronomique précis.

Rappelons que la marque Raketa a été lancée en 1961 pour rendre hommage au vol spatial de Youri Gagarine. L’espace n’est pas une métaphore, mais fait partie intégrante de l’héritage technique de la manufacture. La Russian Code incarne à elle seule cette tradition, et le lancement de cette nouvelle version marque l’anniversaire du fabricant. Cette montre se veut en rupture avec les conventions, vous rappelant que le temps véritable est guidé par les étoiles.

Au cœur de la montre bat le mouvement russe à remontage automatique, Avtomat 2615R (pour "à rebours") entièrement fabriqué de A à Z à la manufacture Raketa, l’un des rares fabricants au monde à produire encore ses propres mouvements en interne. Le fond transparent du boîtier dévoile le mouvement de manufacture et son rotor orné de vagues de la Neva, d’une finition en nanocéramique et d’un motif imprimé.

Raketa

Copernicus 0307

A poetic interpretation of the Cosmos

The Raketa Copernicus, with its dial and hands representing the planets revolving around the Sun, pays homage to the great scientist Copernicus, while offering a poetic interpretation of the Cosmos. Its dial is made of aventurine, a stone that resembles the starry sky, with an agate disc at its center representing the sun.

This model evokes the origins of telling time by observing celestial bodies, as our ancestors did. To know the time, one must observe the movement of the planet-shaped hands and determine their position relative to each other and also to the Sun, all while admiring the incredible celestial dance against a backdrop of myriad twinkling stars.

The transparent case back reveals a carefully decorated Raketa automatic movement, entirely manufactured at the Raketa watch factory in Saint Petersburg.

Raketa Copernicus

"Black" 0232

An unusual line of watches!

A 40.5mm two-piece case with a narrow bezel and a highly domed sapphire crystal!

Inspired by a Soviet model,

This automatic watch pays tribute to the science of the universe, to the cosmos.

The first Raketa “Copernicus” watch was launched in the early 1980s, and it is no coincidence that it bears the name of the famous astronomer.
Its design is inspired by the Copernican conception of the Universe, which provoked a true revolution of consciousness in the 16th century:
At the center of the system is the Sun, while the Earth and the Moon revolve around it (and not the other way around, as was previously believed).
The large circle (the minute hand) symbolizes the Earth orbiting the sun in 1 year, while the small circle (the hour hand) symbolizes Jupiter orbiting the sun 12 times slower: indeed, the hour hand rotates 12 times slower than the minute hand!

The caliber that equips the Copernicus watches is the classic Avtomat 2615, visible through the window opening on the back of the steel case.

Avtomat 2624A caliber

New case, new style

New fully luminescent dial!

Designed for polar expeditions!

Raketa continues its long tradition of manufacturing watches for polar explorers with a model for those ready to conquer polar spaces, whether by land or sea.

The 24-hour dial is essential for distinguishing day from night during the long polar days and nights. During polar maritime expeditions, sailors can use the six lines that divide the dial's perimeter into six sectors (of four hours each) to keep track of their watches. The entire surface of the dial and hands is coated with Super-LumiNova to ensure perfect legibility during the total darkness of the long polar nights.

The names of all the seas of the Arctic Ocean are engraved and enameled on the rotating bezel according to their respective time zones, thus enabling the use of the GMT function. The rotating bezel can also be used as a sundial compass in the northern and southern hemispheres.

The transparent case back reveals the meticulously decorated 24-hour automatic movement, entirely manufactured at the Raketa watch factory in Saint Petersburg. The rotor's finish evokes the aurora borealis.

Each Raketa Polar watch comes with a certificate attesting that the watch can be used in extreme Arctic conditions. The certificate is issued by an official Russian laboratory under the "Voluntary Arctic Certification Scheme".

"Collector"

Raketa Polar 0258



The blue dial and the finely sunburst Avtomat 2624 24 Hour Calibre are both inspired by the Northern Lights.

The Raketa “Polar” is inspired by the brand's iconic model, specially produced in 1970 for Soviet explorers on missions to Antarctica who faced extreme living conditions. The 24-hour dial allows for precise timekeeping even beyond the Arctic Circle, where day and night are indistinguishable. The current model is even more advanced. The 44mm stainless steel case, water-resistant to 20 ATM, features a screw-down crown and an ultra-resistant sapphire crystal that protects the dial. Thanks to the luminescent coating on the hands and numerals, the time can be read even in polar darkness.

The Raketa “Polar” has been officially certified by the Russian Federal Agency for Regulation and Metrology as meeting all the necessary requirements to survive in extreme polar conditions.

The marine world!

Raketa Seaman 0218

Edition limited

A limited series of Russian automatic watches dedicated to lovers of the sea.

The dial of this "Seaman" watch displays the maritime cardinal marks used to delimit dangerous areas, as well as the names of the watches with the corresponding time intervals, during which Russian sailors are on watch.

The word “RAKETA” and the numbers from “0” to “9” are written using the flags of the “maritime alphabet” which is used in the navy to transmit messages between ships.

The 24-hour dial allows the watch to be used as a sundial compass (by aligning the hour hand towards the sun), which is useful in case the boat's electronic compass fails.

The 44mm watch case is water-resistant to 200 meters, making it perfectly suited for use by sailors. The movement is decorated with painted nautical motifs.
