Today the first watch I bought on OF from a very nice member arrived! Light ist bad but I have to share a pic now 😀 so here it is, a Prätina on my wife's wrist, I like 😀
And yes it is my evil plan to get her also into watches 😁
An afternoon shift into full-on professional mode, with the Speedy Pro as companion. I'm doing mandatory, annual safety training (online this year) which has to add up to at least 8 hours -- the Speedmaster is tracking my cumulative training time.
Of course, it's not mandatory to utilize a three-register Swiss chronograph to monitor training progress. But it can make it a little more interesting 😀
On 13 April 1961, Yuri Gagarin made the first manned flight in outer space on the rocket, Vostok 1. In honour of this achievement, the Petrodvorets Watch Factory named its watches "Rocket"; Raketa in Russian. Over the years, the Petrodvorets Watch Factory has produced more than two dozen versions of Raketa movements. Some have been equipped with features such as this 24-hour model for polar explorers, submarines, pilots, military, scientists and a cosmonauts in space.
