1970s RARE Elite watch of the USSR reminiscent of the then famous Swiss model.
gilded by real gold ,working.Brand RAKETA.
Cold war- time of manufacturing, mark for the certification
 of quality on dial.

In the Soviet Union, many enterprises created their own reliable watch movements,
 but the external design often partially or completely resembled Western designs
 of famous watches - Swiss (like this example), American or even Japanese.
Customers were eager to buy such watches, lined up or there was a pre-booking
 for the purchase. The main thing is to draw attention to yourself and how to say,
I have the most fashionable and delightful thing, only the lucky ones get such watches!



The State quality mark of the USSR (Russian: Государственный знак качества СССР,
 translit. Gosudarstvennyi znak kachestva SSSR) was the official Soviet mark for the certification
 of quality established in 1967.

The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR, Russian: Союз Советских Социалистических Республик, tr. Soyuz Sovetskikh Sotsialisticheskikh Respublik, abbreviated СССР, SSSR), also known as the Soviet Union (Советский Союз), was a constitutionally socialist state that existed on the territory of most of the former Russian Empire in Eurasia between 1922 and 1991.

The Soviet Union had a single-party political system dominated by the Communist Party. Nominally a union of Soviet republics, of which there were 15 after 1956, with the capital in Moscow, de facto the Soviet Union was a highly centralized state with a planned economy. The security agency KGB actively oversaw much of the Soviet society.

The union was founded in December 1922, when the Russian SFSR, which formed during the Russian Revolution of 1917 and emerged victorious in the ensuing Russian Civil War, unified with the Transcaucasian, Ukrainian and Belorussian SSRs. After the death of Vladimir Lenin, the first Soviet leader, power was eventually consolidated by Joseph Stalin, who led the country through a large-scale industrialization with command economy and political repression. During World War II, in June 1941, the Soviet Union was attacked by Germany, a country it had signed a non-aggression pact with. After four years of warfare, the Soviet Union emerged as one of the world's two superpowers, extending its influence into much of Eastern Europe and beyond. The Cold War, a global ideological and political struggle between the Soviet Union and its satellites from the Eastern Bloc on the one side and the United States and its allies on the other side, which the Soviet bloc, hit by economic standstill, ultimately lost, marked the post-war period. In the late 1980s the last Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev tried to reform the state with his policies of perestroika and glasnost, but the Soviet Union ultimately collapsed and was formally dissolved in December 1991 after the abortive August coup attempt. Since then the Russian Federation is exercising its rights and fulfilling its obligations.
