Raketa

Raketa in it's rich history launched just one alarm movement, marked with the standard soviet clasification as 3031. This watch is one of the rarest ones in Soviet watch history and therefore very collectible. The full history and the description of this watch can be found on my article published here.


Instruction manual:

 

Upper crown in position 0: Winding the alarm. 

Upper crown in position 1: Setting the alarm hand. Each time you pull the crown into position 1, that pull also blocks the alarm from ringing. The alarm is released not by returning the crown to position 0, but by winding the alarm.

Lower crown in position 0: Manual winding of the time barrel

Lower crown in position 1: Setting the time. The day advances only when passing midnight, while the date can be quick-set by pulling the lower crown (used for time setting) from position 1 to position 2 and then returning it to position 1.
