Newly added to the shop for sale, a 1980s Raketa "Big Zero" manual-wind watch, with two NATOs (super ironic that this watch comes with NATOs, jus' sayin) A few months back, a follower questioned the authenticity of the story President of the Soviet Union Mikhail Gorbachev wore one in the 1980s. So I did some digging on the claim and found that, per the Raketa website, “Mikhail Gorbachev was the first celebrity who started wearing this watch model early in 80s. When visiting Italy he was asked by a journalist what Perestroika meant for him. Gorbachev immediately replied Russians had decided to start living from Zero and to illustrate this he showed them his Raketa watch with "0" instead of "12" www.dcvintagewatches.com #sovietunion #ussr #raketa #raketabigzero #perestroika #glasnost @dcvintagewatches #womw #watchesofinstagram #watchporn #watchfam #wristporn #wristgame #watchoftheday #DC #LA #SoCal #redbarcrew #wis #edc #instawatch #ReWatchTeam #wotd #klocksnack #GoAnalog https://www.instagram.com/p/B4FW0aSHyVp/?igshid=13cf5n0vfuywm
