Vintage RAKETA Baltika 2609.Б Soviet Mechanical Watch | Rare USSR 21 Jewels Black Dial Dress Wristwatch

Vintage RAKETA (Ракета) mechanical wristwatch produced in the USSR by the Petrodvorets Watch Factory.
This exceptionally rare Soviet dress watch is built on the legendary "Baltika" (Балтика) chassis, standing out with its gorgeous, deep black/dark charcoal dial featuring a unique fine horizontal ribbed texture. The dial is elegantly adorned with gold-tone hands, raised dot markers, and classic stylized Arabic numerals at the 6 and 12 o'clock positions. Printed in English for the export market ("Raketa" and "21 JEWELS").

Housed in a round chrome-plated case with a classic slim profile, this timepiece is powered by a premium, high-grade manually wound Raketa Baltika Caliber 2609.Б (2609.B) mechanical movement with 21 ruby jewels.
