This is a vintage Raketa dress watch produced in the Soviet Union, likely dating from the 1970s to the 1980s.

Brand & Origin: Raketa (Ракета, meaning "Rocket" in Russian). Founded in 1721 as the Imperial Porcelain Factory, the Petrodvorets Watch Factory began producing watches under the Raketa brand in 1961 to honor Yuri Gagarin’s first human spaceflight.
• Export Model: Notice the text "MADE IN USSR" written in English at the bottom of the dial (around the 6 o'clock position). Soviet watches intended for the domestic market were printed in Cyrillic ("СДЕЛАНО В СССР"), while English lettering indicates this was manufactured specifically for export to Western markets.
• Aesthetics:
• A distinctive gold-tone dial with stylized Roman numeral hour markers and delicate arched/filigree details framing the inner edge.
• Classic black hands with a central second hand.
• A cushion-style or contoured gold-plated case.
• Movement: It is almost certainly powered by a manual-wind mechanical movement (most likely a Raketa 2609 or 2609.HA caliber). These movements are legendary among vintage watch enthusiasts for being extremely durable, robust, and easy to service.

Collector Note: Soviet watches offer incredible mechanical charm and history. Because this is a manual-wind movement, it has no battery—you gently wind the crown clockwise until you feel resistance to power it up.

Case Plating: Most Raketa cases of this era were brass with gold plating (often marked with an "Au" stamp on the side between the lugs or on the case back indicating the gold thickness, e.g., Au5, Au10, or Au20).
