Raketa

A limited edition of Russian Automatic Watches for people who love the sea.

Nestled in the heart of Saint Petersburg, right next to the naval bases, the renowned Raketa Watch Factory has a rich history of crafting timepieces for the Russian Navy.

The Raketa “Seaman” 0218 features a dial with maritime cardinal marks, serving as vital indicators of danger zones. Additionally, they proudly display the names of the ‘naval watches,’ marking the times when Russian sailors stand duty on board their ships. The words ‘Raketa’ and numerals ‘0’ to ‘9’ are elegantly rendered in the flags of the ‘naval alphabet,’ the very code used for ship-to-ship communication. The inclusion of a 24-hour dial empowers wearers to utilize their timepiece as a solar compass, aiding navigation when the ship’s electronic compass falters.

Built to endure the most demanding maritime conditions, the Raketa “Seaman” 0218 boasts a robust case that can withstand pressures of up to 20 ATM, equivalent to submersion to a depth of 200 meters, ensuring complete waterproofness.

At the heart of the Raketa “Seaman” 0218 lies the highly dependable ‘Raketa – Avtomat’ automatic movement, meticulously crafted in-house at the Raketa Watch Factory in Saint Petersburg. The movement showcases a distinctive design inspired by archival Soviet imagery, combining reliability with historical charm.
