Description: RAKETA 24 HOURSRARE vintage old Original USSR (Soviet, Russian, ะกะกะกะ ) Polar Antarctic mechanical men's wristwatchMade by PChZ (Petrodvorzowy Watch Factory)Caliber raketa 2623.H. Shockproof ballance, 19 Jewels.Made by Petrodvorzowy Watch Factory (PChZ) in 1980s. The Petrodvorets Watch Factory, located in Saint-Petersburg, was initially founded by Peter the Great in 1721 as a precious stone manufacture. It supplied precious stones for the crown of the Tzars, for Faberge, Imperial palast, the Kremlin Stars and Lenin's moseleum. From 1930's the factory started manufacturing rubis for watch mechanisms, then watches under famous soviet brands. In 1962 the factory created its own new brand "Raketa" (it means Rocket) in honor of the first cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin. From 1969 factory is working on a new collection that includes a modern redesign of the Polar expedition watches. On the Raketa 24H watches, the hour's hand makes only one complete rotation during 24H instead of two, so it's impossible to confuse AM and PM time (a necessity for submarine crew, polar explorers, miners and in spase wherever it's impossible to see if it's day or night). The given watches have been created under the special order of military seamen. For militarians served on submarines. In conditions when it is impossible to define on the sun what time of day at present. Also these watches inhabitants of the Far North where used half of year day, and half of year night. This watch completely mechanical. Watches perfectly work. Perfectly hold time. Watches of this stamp consider very rare and qualitative. Case with crown 42mm Case without crown 40mm Number of mechanism 746504 Band 18mm. Fully operational. There are traces of use.In good condition for his age.The external condition is assessed by photos and videos. Unfortunately, I cannot give a guarantee for the declared water resistance of such an old vintage watch! I hope for your understanding!IMPORTANT!!!
