2021 New and Upcoming Releases!
Re: 2021 New and Upcoming Releases!
Raketa is taking a page out of the Werenbach playbook by releasing the Space Launcher collection, a 24 Hour watch with a bezel made from a piece of metal from a Soyuz space launcher and a strap from the fabric of a Sokol space suit.
The Raketa Space Launcher is limited to 300 pieces in either a white dial or blue aventurine dial (reminiscent of the sparkling stars in space).
Price for the Space Launcher is:
- White dial: €1,458 without VAT (roughly $1,634) - https://raketa.com/w/en/product/raketa- ... cher-0281/
- Aventurine dial: €1,542 without VAT (roughly $1,728) - https://raketa.com/w/en/product/raketa- ... cher-0282/
This watch is a tribute to the iconic Soyuz space launcher. Its bezel is made from a metal piece of the space launcher "Soyuz-2.1a" which took off on 14 October 2020 and made a record breaking 3 hour flight from the Baikonur launch pad to the ISS!
The cosmonauts Sergey Ryzhikov and Sergey Kud-Sverchkov, who were sent to space by this space launcher, actively participated in the design and production of this watch. They both insisted that the only crucial complication needed in space is a 24-hour movement to enable them to distinguish day from night in the ISS (where they have 16 sunrises and sunsets every 24 hours).
To bring you even closer to the experience of flying in the Soyuz rocket, the cosmonauts also suggested making the strap from the fabric of the famous Russian space suit “Sokol” that is worn by all cosmonauts flying in the Soyuz rocket. This space suit, made from a very robust white nylon canvas with royal blue trim, has all the features necessary to keep the cosmonaut alive at all times during the space flight in the Soyuz.
This watch is officially designed and produced in collaboration with the Russian Space Agency “Roscosmos”. Each watch is delivered with a certificate of Roscosmos certifying the true origin of the rocket metal and the space suit fabric.
The Space Launcher has the following features:
- The bezel is made from a metal piece of the actual "Soyuz-2.1a" launcher that took off on 14 October 2020 and made a record breaking 3 hour flight from the Baikonur launch pad to the ISS! The full name of the space rocket (as well as the cardinal marks) is engraved in Russian on the bezel.
- The strap (with a “quick change” system) is made from the real fabric of the famous Russian "Sokol" space suit that is worn by all cosmonauts/astronauts who fly on the Soyuz rocket.
- The second hand is represented by the Earth revolving around its axis.
- The seconds’ scale (printed on the sapphire glass) emphasises on the countdown to launch (last 10 seconds).
- The movement is beautifully decorated with constellations printed on the bridges of the movement and a special coating on the rotor.
- A few design elements discreetly pay tribute to the first manned space flight by Yuri Gagarin:
- The design of the hour & minute hands replicates the hands on the control panel of Gagarin’s spacecraft.
- On the model with a white dial, the countdown printed on the sapphire glass is followed by the word “Poyekhali!” (Let's go!) that Gagarin
pronounced as he flew off.
Specs:
- Movement: Calibre 2624A
- Case: Stainless steel
- Bezel: Rotating metal piece of the "Soyuz-2.1a" launcher
- Diameter: 43 mm
- Thickness: 13.15 mm
- Lug to lug: 47 mm
- Crystal: Sapphire
- Caseback: Mineral
- Crown: Screw down
- Water resistance: 20 ATM
- Hands: Superluminova
- Dial: Superluminova
- Strap material: Fabric from “Sokol” space suit (with a “quick change” system)
- Extra strap: Leather strap (with a “quick change” system)

Am I crazy for liking this?

Looks like grade 2 titanium throughout and decently priced at $499 plus shipping. Hamilton wants obscene money for their digital quartz models so this could be an alternative

Looks similar to the Bulova Computron but that's not a bad thing.

Baltic x Revolution. Check the size! https://revolutionwatch.com/baltic-bico ... ution.html
"The conversation naturally gravitated to a potential collaboration. Somewhere early on, Malec asked us a very pointed question. He directed the question towards Revolution & The Rake’s founder, Wei Koh, “Wei, what do you think of a chronograph at a 36.5mm case size?” To which Wei replied that he loved this size and that we had just made our collaboration with Chopard L.U.C based on their original watch from 1997, the 1860, which measured — yes, you guessed it — 36.5mm. Further, we are of the mindset that collectors are rapidly going back to classic proportions."

Re: 2021 New and Upcoming Releases!
love it, but the 250 limited batch (why? whyyy!? hate this BS in the watch community. seriously considering giving up the hobby due to all the limited bs shenanigans) sold out immediately. can't wait to see 200 of them on the secondary for 1500-2000$

Re: 2021 New and Upcoming Releases!
Is it me or is is it weird to have a plain caseback for a limited colab watch? Front looks good though.

Re: 2021 New and Upcoming Releases!
Same.
Also, can't unsee.

I clicked the link shortly after it was posted on the site, maybe within 5mins, and it was available for sale.THFPureAsGold wrote: ↑Fri Dec 03, 2021 2:29 pmWas this actually "available" for purchase? Or did it become sold out after a few minutes?

I wish that watch were 38mm?
Re: 2021 New and Upcoming Releases!
Maybe a little pricey as of now, but no denying cool factor. Specially if you remember 8 bit.
