Raketa Revives A Classic Piece Of Antarctic Exploration History With The New Limited-Edition ...

Now, 50 years after this historic expedition, Raketa has revived the legendary Polar with a commemorative limited edition that captures the spirit of exploration The 35mm gold tone stainless steel case of the Raketa Polar is both faithful to the historic original and deceptively simple at first glance Like the original, the new Polar features a complex four-piece case construction system with a unique retention system for its organic crystal, creating a package that is both durable and incredibly resistant to the brutal Antarctic cold.

The in-house Caliber 2623 movement inside the Raketa Polar is a mechanical marvel in its own right Specially revived for this limited edition model, the Caliber 2623 is the same movement specification as the original Raketa Polar from 1970 This faithful reissue of the iconic Raketa Polar captures an iconic moment in time for both, preserving this proud history for a new generation of collectors.

The Raketa Polar is limited to only 200 examples and is currently available for preorder on Raketa's website for a discounted preorder price of $1,210. . Source
