Description Vintage Raketa Watch - A Timeless Soviet Classic 1970s

Hey there, watch enthusiasts! Let me introduce you to a real gem from the 1970s - the Raketa Watch with 16 Ruby Stones. This beauty is not just a timepiece; it’s a piece of history, straight from the USSR.

Alright, let’s dive into the details. This Raketa watch is powered by the Raketa 2609 mechanism, a hand-assembled marvel with a 26 mm caliber and a height of 4.5 mm. It’s got 16 ruby stones, which not only look stunning but also ensure smooth operation.

• Case Diameter: 34 mm
• Case Thickness: 10 mm
• Lug Width: 18 mm

This watch is in very good condition, having been serviced by a professional watchmaker. Sure, there are a few small scratches on the case, but hey, that’s just part of its vintage charm!

One of the coolest features is the central second hand with an anti-shock device balance axis. The balance fluctuation period is 0.4 seconds, and from a full wind, this watch will keep ticking for at least 36 hours. The average daily accuracy is between +10 to -50 seconds, which is pretty solid for a vintage piece.

Design-wise, this Raketa is a classic. It’s medium-sized, perfect for everyday wear, with a discreet yet elegant design. The metallic silver case pairs beautifully with the white dial, which features black Roman numerals and minute markers. The thin black hands add a touch of sophistication. Note that this watch is sold without a strap, giving you the freedom to choose one that suits your style.

So, if you’re looking to add a piece of Soviet history to your collection, this Raketa watch is a fantastic choice. It’s not just a watch; it’s a story on your wrist. Grab it before it’s gone!
