Raketa “Polar” 0300

The inclusion of a 24-hour dial serves a crucial purpose, aiding in distinguishing between day and night during prolonged polar periods where daylight or darkness can persist for up to six months at a stretch. This feature proves especially handy for maritime expeditions, as crew members can easily track their shifts with the dial’s division into six sections, each representing four hours. Furthermore, the entire dial surface and hands are coated with Superluminova, ensuring optimal readability even in complete polar darkness.

The rotating bezel showcases the names of various Arctic Ocean seas arranged according to their respective time zones, facilitating the use of the GMT function. Additionally, the rotating bezel doubles as a solar compass, functional in both the northern and southern hemispheres.

On the reverse side of the “Polar” 0300, one can admire the 24-hour automatic movement, exclusively manufactured by the Raketa Watch Factory in Saint Petersburg. The design of the rotor evokes the ethereal beauty of the northern lights.

Each Raketa “Polar” 0300 timepiece comes with a certificate attesting to its suitability for the most extreme conditions encountered in polar regions. This certification is issued by an official Russian laboratory as part of the “Arctic voluntary certification system.”
