Raketa: Brand Information
Updated 5 May 2009 by Editor, RussianWatchGuide.com 
Raketa, which means "rocket" in Russian, is perhaps best known for its 24 hour watches. They also manufacture pocket watches.
Raketa watches are widely available on the internet. They are inexpensive and generally sell for between $40 and $80. Raketa watches are manufactured at the Petrodvoretz (Peter Palace) Watch Factory. According to various internet sources, the factory went bankrupt in 1995, then later resumed business on a smaller scale. The Poljot-Times website, a well known seller of Russian watches, confirms on their website that the Raketa watches they sell are manufactured by the Peter Palace Watch Factory. Reviews See this Raketa 24 hour watch review. Where to Buy See the blog article Best Place to Buy a Raketa Watch. Official Website Here is a link to the Raketa website (in Russian): http://pchz.narod.ru. Particularly entertaining is the history of Raketa, which includes the story of a fisherman who caught a pike, only to find a ticking, fully functional Raketa watch in its belly.
I have watch Raketa. This was around 25-30 years ago a goft for my grandfather. Now I stil use this Raketa watch and this stil working! WWW.RAKETA.SU factory make the watches in CHINA and they write on the box MADE IN USSR :))) 100% fake!!! How old is my Raketa? It was a gift 20 years ago. It's a wind up and the only words on it are "Made in the USSR". There is a # on the back also. Dear Sir/Madam
I desire to introduce myself that I am one of the private collectors of wristwatches and timepieces in Sri Lanka; I started this pastime since my School Days 35 years ago, apart from my business as one of the foremost Indenting Agents and Manufactures Representative in Sri Lanka.
A few of the eye-catching timepieces created by your company stunned me interest to know further on the products, furthermore, I fancy to put in to my anthology as well. I am not in favor of sight your timepieces on my computer screen, which I rebuff to do so.
Therefore, I will appreciate if you could mail few of your hard material brochures/catalogues to my collection library to reach below postal address.
I apologies and make my kind appeal to onward this email to the exact department If you assume that I have send to the incorrect section.
I await with keen interest to hear from you at earliest.
Thanks
Best Regards

Raketa is still in business and about to announce a new series of watches. Don't assume that the "Raketa" watches you see for sale online are real, most of them are fakes. Their new website is www.raketa.su I ask: but the factory, today, is still active and produces?
Or it's closed and stopped production last time ago? They are my favorite Russian watches... But be very carefull a lot of fake on internet... If your raketa does not work it is most probably a fake Raketa watch. always check by email with the factory before buying a Raketa on Internet. I have watch Raketa which works for about 30 years with only one repairing. It is very good watches Greetings, comrades! Not as good quality as Vostok but I like the way it looks so I wear it a lot. |
