Raketa “BIG ZERO” Grey

The exterior metalised appearance of the Big Zero Grey continues on the inside. The transparent case back reveals a beautifully decorated automatic Raketa movement which is entirely designed and manufactured at the Raketa Watch Factory in St. Petersburg. A limited production of only 200 timepieces has been released this year. Subsequent series will be manufactured in future years according to the production plan.

When asked what inspired Soviet designers to create this bold design with a big 0, old specialists of the Raketa factory answer that it is simply more logical to start counting time from 0. Indeed, time, like everything else in our lives, always begins from 0. With this radically innovative concept, the Big Zero watch is at the avant-garde of time reading: time starts from 0, not from 12! It directly challenges the worldwide established convention that there should always be a 12 on the dial.
