The movement is an automatic winding movement, produced in the Raketa factory in St. Petersburg. This is a movement which is new to us, having not encountered this in any other watch before, though the specifications are quite standard. The movement beats at 18,000 bph and has a power reserve of 40 hours. The automatic movement has a traditional rotor pivoted in the center, a smooth balance with anti-shock protection. The movement is gold plated, and the rotor sports a circular Geneva stripes which Raketa calls Neva waves. These are hand made, and the rotor runs on ball bearings. The rest of the movement is engraved with stars and a the planets of which we can make out Saturn with its ring and Jupiter on the main bridge, and probably Mercury engraved on the balance cock.
