Vintage Soviet Raketa Pocket Watch – Early 1990s USSR

This is a distinctive vintage pocket watch produced by the Petrodvorets Watch Factory (ПЧЗ «Ракета») during the late Soviet era. A functional piece of horological history, combining reliable engineering with restrained Soviet design aesthetics.

The watch is housed in an elegant chrome-plated case, presenting a clean and timeless look. The rear case features a decorative bas-relief engraving of a sailing ship, adding character and collectible appeal. Additionally, there is a personal engraving: “To Igor from Lyuba, 1992”, which gives the piece a unique historical narrative.

The dial is matte white with finely printed black Arabic numerals in a classic vintage style. Slim, straight black hands complement the minimalistic layout, ensuring excellent legibility and a refined appearance.

The bow (crown loop) is attractively designed with a shaped recess, suitable for attaching a chain or chatelaine, enhancing both usability and visual appeal.
