Raketa Owner Review : Eccentric, delirious and swirling

This 1970s watch, this olive version of the UFO no-date, has a truly radiant appearance thanks to its fluted dial reminiscent of a turbine. The bracelet disappears inside the 43mm diameter case and seems weightless on the wrist. The time is perfectly legible with its large baton hands against a light olive background; the brand name and Soviet quality mark are white and therefore very discreet. The movement is a 2609.NA with a central seconds hand that has a soothing ticking sound. The steel case back is screwed down, but it has the drawback of being paired with a large crown that comes into contact with the skin. This crown is simply chrome-plated brass, which is starting to erode over time. My example is engraved; it clearly belonged to someone named Micha, probably short for Mikhail, but I don't know anything more. The song I would associate with this model would be "Crazy World" by Scorpions. Of course, it's not a song from that era; this model dates from the late 70s, while the song is from 1990. But there you have it, I love this album; it reminds me of the carefree days of another time, and above all, I hope that in ten years or so, we'll be writing songs like this one instead of the soundtrack for a new Terminator movie. The world is crazy, "They spent our money on missiles, for the third world war, Now they're stacked in my backyard, we don't need them no more." Adjectives: swirling, radiant, ethereal;
