Vintage Raketa "Polar" 24-Hour Watch, 1970s-1980s Original Raketa watch from the Soviet era, featuring the legendary 2623H / 2609HA mechanical movement. This timepiece is a genuine piece of history, designed for those who work in the most extreme conditions on Earth. The watch features a rare 24-hour dial and a robust construction, representing a perfect blend of specialized Soviet engineering and bold vintage aesthetics. What is a 24-Hour Watch? Unlike standard watches where the hour hand completes two circles a day, the hand on this Raketa makes only one full circle in 24 hours. This feature was essential for polar explorers, submariners, and astronauts who lived in environments where it was impossible to distinguish day from night by looking out the window. History of Raketa Watches Produced by the Petrodvorets Watch Factory (the oldest factory in Russia, founded by Peter the Great), Raketa watches became world-famous for their precision. The "Polar" models were specifically commissioned for Soviet polar expeditions to the Arctic and Antarctica. Today, the Raketa 2623.H movement is considered a cult classic among collectors for its specialized complication and "tank-like" reliability. π¦ Case Material: Stainless steel Diameter: 40 mm Condition: NEW βοΈ Movement Caliber: Raketa 2623.H or 2609HA (Genuine 24-hour movement) Type: Mechanical, manual winding Feature: 24-hour scale, shockproof balance π Strap Material: Steel Bracelet Width: 20 mm Bonus: This watch comes with a second leather strap included as a gift! βοΈ Condition The watch has been carefully checked before listing.

Seller is very responsive and willing to help resolve issues quickly. My package had a shipping issue which was corrected as soon as the seller was made aware. Would recommend purchasing from them. As mentioned by other reviews shipping can be a bit slow, but that is expected for an international shipment at this shipping cost.
Shipping was fast. It came in a secured package. The watch is perfect, very accurate although it is a vintage. It is a historic watch, dating from the Soviet era of Russia. I was surprised to find it. Trustworthy seller. I would buy more from him.
Item delivered in great condition, exactly as shown in photos/videos. Very fast shipping, and the seller was kind enough to follow up with me to ensure it was delivered. Would definitely buy from this seller again!
