RAKETA
SU
Raketa watches have been manufactured since 1962 by
the Petrodvorets Watch Factory in Saint Petersburg. The Petrodvorets Watch Factory is
Russia's oldest factory, it was founded by Peter the Great in 1721 as the Peterhof
Lapidary Works to make hardstone carvings. Raketa watches were produced for the Red Army,
the Soviet Navy, for North Pole expeditions, as well as for civilians.
April 12, 1961 Yuri Gagarin made the first flight in the history of mankind in outer space
on the rocket Vostok 1. In honor of Yuri Gagarin the Petrodvorets Watch Factory named its
watches "Raketa," or "rocket" in Russian. At the height of the Cold
War, however, the name "Raketa" was perceived negatively in the West, as the
word was associated with the latest generation of Soviet intercontinental ballistic
missiles, the R-16.
Before the Petrodvorets Watch Factory began to produce watches, it produced objects made
of precious and semi-precious stones for the Tsar and his family. Later, it began to
produce goods for military manufacturers as well as jewels" for the watch industry.
In 1949 the factory released the first watches under the names Zvezda and Pobeda. The
factory's own watches, sold under the brand name Raketa, first appeared in 1961 and the
factory also began to manufacture its own movements, like the ĞRaketa - 2609N.
Over the years, the Petrodvorets Watch Factory
produced more than two dozen versions Raketa movements. Some were equipped with features
such as automatic winding, calendars, 24-hour models for polar explorers, anti-magnetic
watches (for use in case of a nuclear attack), as well as watches for the military.
