Russian or more specifically watches from when there was still the Soviet Union or USSR are collectible. I have several of these and made sure these were 'Made in the USSR' rather than 'Made in Russia'. I had featured a couple of these watches, namely the two Vostoks (Amfibia and Komandirskie) I have. Here is a Raketa manual wind that's simple yet very efficient.

| Simple dial with baton hands. No complications on this watch. |

| The other side view |
 |
| The back had an interesting etching on it |
 |
| Made in the USSR, this watch is powered by a 2609.HA movement that beats at 18,000 A/h with a power reserve of 45h. |
 |
| The watch the first time I tried it on with the leather nato strap it came with |
 |
| I changed the strap on this watch and it instantly made the watch an accessory for casual days. It has a very simple face that makes it easy to match with most nato straps including leather ones. |
I have timed this twice. One time the reserve lasted about 42 hours and another about 43 hours. Not at all bad for an old watch.
[Note: I've unloaded this watch last year (2019). It's a nice simple watch that should be perfect for casual wear. Hindi pansinin so it works for the under-the-radar collector who like wearing his/her watches. 10/21/2020]
