I have a Raketa (Russian for Rocket I think) mechanical watch. This is the USSR's commemoration of an Antarctic expedition and a recreation of the classic Russian Polar expedition watch. The watch is very unique and runs on a 24-hour mechanical movement and unlike standard watches, it does one rotation every 24 hours, versus one rotation every 12 on traditional watches. The time piece is in running condition and comes with a leather band. Asking $90 OBO Shipped SOLD

Here is a piece I wrote several years ago about the watch brand Raketa.

just to help, You Think right. The word between numbers 19-13 translates as an Arctic, words between numbers 13 and 14 translates as North Pole-1. Can you post pictures of back side please?
