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.
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. |
