     Raketa is a well-known Russian watch brand with a rich history that dates back to 1961.
     Raketa, which means "rocket" in Russian is a flagship brand of the Petrodvorets Watch Factory, located in Saint Petersburg, Russia. The factory was originally founded by Peter the Great in 1721 to produce timepieces for the Russian royal family. Raketa watches quickly gained popularity due to their reliability and accuracy, and they became the official timepieces for the Soviet Union's space program.
     Soviet Era and Iconic Models: During the Soviet era, Raketa produced a wide range of watches, including mechanical and quartz models. Some of the iconic models from this period include the Raketa "Polar," known for its ability to withstand extreme temperatures, Raketa "Copernicus," which featured a unique dial design and Raketa Perpetual Calendar. Raketa watches were widely available throughout the Soviet Union and were often prized as symbols of prestige and craftsmanship.
