Raketa Su

Upholding the tradition of designing specialized watches for extreme professions, Raketa Watch Factory presents a limited edition for pilots, Raketa Su, crafted in collaboration with the Sukhoi Design Bureau.

The design of this model is inspired by the Su-57, a cutting-edge 5th-generation supermaneuverable fighter jet. The dark color palette of the watch is not a mere aesthetic choice; it mirrors the advanced technologies and stealth features that are the hallmark of this aircraft. Much like the aircraft’s fuselage, materials, and special coating render the jet nearly invisible to radars, the convex glossy aircraft's silhouette printed on the matte black dial appears to dissolve into the shadows. Its black PVD-coated case, high-contrast black and white hands, large numerals, Super-LumiNova coating and the double-sided anti-reflective coating on the sapphire crystal remind us of the Su-57's digital instrument panel. The movement is protected by a screw-in crown that provides water resistance up to 200 meters. A silicone strap complements the model’s ergonomic design, blending with the case to complete its concept.

The open case back reveals the Raketa movement, manufactured from A to Z at the Raketa Watch Factory in St. Petersburg. Prints on its self-winding rotor are inspired by the Su-57 livery. This model comes with a special metal case with two locks and safety ribbons indicating ‘Remove Before Flight’. This echoes pre-flight procedures: just as the pilot must remove red tags prior to takeoff, the watch owner needs to perform a similar ritual before accessing the watch and wearing it. The set includes an extra genuine leather strap, and a 1:100 scale metal model of the Sukhoi Su-57 fighter.
