Raketa Biker USSR 1980s Men's Mechanical Wristwatch 19 Jewels

Description Raketa Biker USSR 1980s Men's Mechanical Wristwatch 19 Jewels

This Raketa Biker wristwatch is a USSR-era mechanical piece from the Petrodvorets Watch Factory, fitted with the Raketa 2628.H caliber and dating to around the late 1970s to 1980s period. It has been serviced and is ready for use by a collector who enjoys distinctive Soviet design.

The Look

The watch has a blue dial with applied hour markers, giving the face more depth than a printed layout. The dial carries the Raketa logo and the inscription translated as Made in USSR, a detail collectors rightly look for on original Soviet pieces. Steel hour and minute hands with white inserts sit alongside a steel central seconds hand, all under an acrylic crystal that suits the period character. The cushion-shaped chrome case gives the watch a compact, slightly bold profile on the wrist, with the kind of practical Soviet styling that earned models like this their lasting appeal.

Inside the Case

Power comes from the Raketa 2628.H, a hand-wound mechanical movement with day-date functionality and a central seconds display. This is a sturdy Soviet caliber from Petrodvorets, valued for its straightforward construction and serviceability.
