Description Vintage Raketa Star Wars USSR Watch 2628 Pearl Silver Dial Soviet Watch

Vintage Raketa “Star Wars” USSR Mechanical Watch – Caliber 2628

Authentic vintage Soviet Raketa mechanical wristwatch produced in the USSR during the 1980s. This model is widely known among collectors as the “Star Wars” because of its bold octagonal case, visible bezel screws, and futuristic industrial styling unlike most traditional Soviet watches.

This particular version features one of the rarer dial variations found in the Raketa “Star Wars” line. The textured silver-white dial is distinguished by its oversized applied gold-tone “12” numeral, giving the watch a stronger visual identity and a more expressive retro-futuristic appearance.
