The sky is the limit

In designing its new Pilot model, Raketa tried to recreate the spirit of early aviator watches, following the principle of nothing superfluous.

Designed in a classic style but with Raketas recognizable identity, the new case with its clean facets combines a glossy polish and a satin finish. This look is harmoniously continued by the stainless-steel bracelet, which emphasises the masculine character of the watch.

Several features ensure easy readability in all lighting conditions. Super-LumiNova coating is applied to the markers and large numerals of the dial, but also to the hour and minute hands. Contrast is created through colour combinations: all the hands including the bright yellow second hand perfectly stand out against the matte black dial stylised as an aircraft instrument. A double-sided anti-reflective coating on the sapphire crystal provides additional assurance of accurate readings.

The heart of Raketa Pilot is its automatic movement, manufactured from A to Z at the Raketa Watch Factory in St. Petersburg.
