Raketa Baikonur Celebrates 65 Years of Human Space Travel
Raketa Baikonur celebrates the 65th anniversary of human space travel, coinciding with the company's own founding. The new wristwatch is designed specifically for astronauts, featuring a robust 42mm stainless steel case with a water resistance of 200 meters. It includes a dual crown mechanism, an internal bezel with a compass scale and a 24-hour time zone display, accommodating the unique needs of space travelers who cannot rely on the Earth’s day/night cycle. The watch showcases a retro-futuristic aesthetic, complemented by a practical Velcro strap and an optional leather strap. Powered by the Raketa calibre 2624CA automatic movement, the watch has a 40-hour power reserve and is designed to function efficiently in space. Notably, it decouples the self-winding system when manually wound to prevent damage. Priced at €2,400, the Raketa Baikonur is available for pre-order and serves as a thoughtful gift for those passionate about space exploration as Valentine's Day approaches.
