Pilot 0301

The sky is the limit

In designing its new Pilot model, Raketa tried to recreate the spirit of early aviator watches, following the principle of “nothing superfluous”.

Designed in a classic style but with Raketa’s recognizable identity, the new case with its clean facets combines a glossy polish and a satin finish. This look is harmoniously continued by the stainless-steel bracelet, which emphasises the masculine character of the watch.

Several features ensure easy readability in all lighting conditions. Super-LumiNova coating is applied to the markers and large numerals of the dial, but also to the hour and minute hands. Contrast is created through colour combinations: all the hands including the bright yellow second hand perfectly stand out against the matte black dial stylised as an aircraft instrument. A double-sided anti-reflective coating on the sapphire crystal provides additional assurance of accurate readings.

The heart of Raketa Pilot is its automatic movement, manufactured from A to Z at the Raketa Watch Factory in St. Petersburg.
