Vintage RAKETA (Ракета) mechanical wristwatch produced by the Petrodvorets Watch Factory.
This exceptionally unique and highly collectible transitional timepiece was manufactured in 1992, shortly after the collapse of the Soviet Union. The custom white dial is dedicated to the 115th Anniversary (115 лет) of the historic "Chronotron" (Хронотрон) enterprise, tracing its heritage back to 1877. The design features an intricate coat of arms with twin heraldic lions supporting a shield beneath a crown, making it a fascinating piece of post-Soviet industrial and corporate watch history.
Housed in a distinct, round antique-patinated brass-tone case that lends the watch a striking retro, vintage character. It is driven by the legendary, ultra-reliable manually wound Raketa Caliber 2609.HA mechanical movement, which proudly carries the official Petrodvorets factory stylized logo stamp and the Soviet Union export mark ("SU") on the bridge, showcasing the persistence of high-quality Soviet engineering during the transitional era.

- Mechanical hand-winding movement (Raketa Caliber 2609.HA)
