New-to-me Raketa model 431104 from the USSR (1980s)! It's a 2610 caliber with a magnetic protection shield for use in high-EMF environments. So, it's basically a Soviet Milgauss.

I'm really digging the case shape, like nothing else in my collection.

It absolutely could be, it came regulated to a couple of seconds a day. Going into the regular rotation for sure.

Stunning design. Smells more '70s to me than 80s, but it's just right all around.

Congrats!

being 10 years off trend is pretty standard for Soviet watches haha
