Made in USSR in the 80s.
The Petrodvorets Watch Factory (RAKETA), located in Saint-Petersburg, was initially founded by Peter the Great in 1721 as a precious stone manufacturer. It supplied precious offers stones for the crown of the Tzars, for Fabergé, the Imperial palace, the Kremlin Stars, and Lenin's mausoleum.
In the 1930s the factory started manufacturing rubies for watch mechanisms, then watches under famous soviet brands. In 1962 the factory created its own new brand RAKETA in honor of the first cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin
