Raketa Space Launcher
A very special watch!!
What makes this watch so special? Well, for space travel enthusiasts, the standout feature is the bezel, which is made from a piece of metal taken from the Soyuz-2.1a space launcher. And it doesn’t stop there—one of the two straps is made from the actual fabric of the Russian “Sokol” space suit (Sokol meaning “Falcon” in Russian)! Even more impressively, both the metal piece from the launcher and the fabric from the space suit were actually used on a mission to the International Space Station (ISS) on October 14, 2020. So yes, you’re wearing a watch made from parts that have literally been in space. The crew on that mission included Russian cosmonauts Sergey Ryzhikov and Sergey Kud-Sverchkov, as well as American astronaut Kathleen Rubins. With the watch, you also receive an official certificate from Roscosmos (the Russian space agency), confirming that the materials used in the watch were indeed part of that specific space flight.
The watch was purchased in december 2021. I made a full review of the watch, where you can find also all technical details and additional photos about the watch, so please read it here:
Since then watch was almost never worn an it is still in its original condition.
Very hard to find, it was sold out very soon after the launch.
