Dial & Hands Description

This exquisite Raketa features a striking deep black dial with a sophisticated textured finish that creates subtle reflections under light. The dial is adorned with four golden hour markers positioned at 12, 3, 6, and 9 o'clock, creating perfect symmetry and elegance.

The minute track is rendered in crisp yellow markings that provide excellent contrast against the dark background, ensuring optimal readability. All three golden hands - hour, minute, and central seconds - are beautifully proportioned and complement the overall golden aesthetic of the timepiece with their elegant gold-plated finish.

The iconic "РАКЕТА" (Raketa) logo is proudly displayed in golden letters, with the traditional Soviet star emblem below, accompanied by "СДЕЛАНО В СССР" (Made in USSR) inscription.
