In Soviet times
Do you know the 3S? Simplicity, subtlety, Soviet: three words to explain the purchase of my first mechanical watch. My interest in Russian watches is no accident: the Slavic soul, culture, and exoticism of this country are all reflected in this Raketa Baltika. This model was produced between 1967 and 1971 at the Petrodvorets watch factory in Saint Petersburg. The period catalog explained: "For those who appreciate a simple presentation and precision!" A 36 mm by 8.85 mm case, covered in Plexiglas, protects a cream dial where the hour markers are milled. The milling adds a little volume to this simple watch. The alpha hands and gold indexes offer a discreet charm. As for the exoticism, "Raketa" and "Made in the USSR" written in the Cyrilic alphabet are enough to convince me. The caliber is a hand-wound 2609A
