Raketa “Russian Code”

The Raketa “Russian Code” watch underlines the link between Raketa and space: the Raketa brand was created in 1961 in honour of the first manned flight in space by Yuri Gagarin (Raketa means “Space Rocket” in Russian). Since then, the engineers and designers of Raketa were always inspired by space.
