Raketa “Polar” 0300

For polar expeditions

Following its long tradition of making watches for polar explorers, Raketa has developed a model for people who want to discover the boundless polar territories by land or by sea.

The 24-hour dial is essential to distinguish day from night during the long polar nights and days that last up to 6 months each. During polar maritime expeditions, crewmembers can keep count of their shifts with the six lines dividing the perimeter of the dial into 6 quarters (4 hours each). The entire surface of the dial and hands is covered with Superluminova, ensuring a perfect legibility during total polar darkness.

The rotating bezel is engraved and enameled with the names of all the Arctic ocean seas set out according to their respective time zones, allowing to use the GMT function. The rotating bezel can be also used as a solar compass both in the northern and southern hemispheres.

The back of the watch reveals the beautifully decorated 24 hour automatic movement which is entirely produced by the Raketa Watch Factory in Saint-Petersburg. The finishing of the rotor is reminiscent of northern lights.

Each Raketa Polar watch has a certificate confirming that the watch can be used in the harshest natural conditions of polar regions. The certificate is delivered by an official Russian laboratory within the frame of the “Arctic voluntary certification system”.
