Raketa has never shied away from extremes, and the new Raketa Su, built with the Sukhoi Design Bureau, continues that flight path. Inspired by the Su-57 stealth fighter, this limited edition takes cues from the jet’s sleek menace with a dark, radar-evading look where the aircraft’s glossy outline almost vanishes into the matte dial, like a silhouette slipping through the night.
The 44 mm black PVD case feels tactical but refined, with bold numerals, crisp white hands, and generous Super-LumiNova echoing the Su-57’s cockpit instruments. Beneath the sapphire crystal with double AR coating, everything’s built for clarity and control. A screw-down crown seals 200 meters of water resistance, while the silicone strap integrates smoothly into the case for an unbroken, aerodynamic profile.
Flip it over and the in-house Raketa automatic movement comes into view, complete with a rotor patterned after the fighter’s livery. The watch arrives in a metal flight case marked “Remove Before Flight,” along with an extra leather strap and a 1:100 Su-57 model. Just 800 pieces will be made. The Raketa Su is a nod to Raketa’s knack for merging Russian engineering bravado with unapologetic tool-watch grit.
