The Final Aviator's Touch: Leading Russian Watchmaker, Raketa, Launches the Pilot 0301

Published: 08 Jun 2025
The launch of the Pilot 0301 brings to completion Raketa's trilogy of professional-focused, in-house manufactured tool watches.

Raketa, the renowned Russian watchmaker, is taking flight with the completion of its in-house, professional-focused timepiece trilogy consisting of the Amphibia 0321 dive watch, the Polar 0300 explorer wristwatch, and now, the all-new Pilot 0301 aviation tool watch. Distinctly designed for visibility and reliability, the Pilot 0301 model distances itself from flashy aesthetics, rather favouring practicality. It is presented in a 42 mm diameter stainless steel case with a fixed bezel and integrated tapered stainless steel bracelet.

The distinctive watch face is safeguarded by a domed sapphire crystal with a double anti-reflective coating, ensuring perfect visibility along with a flat sapphire crystal installed within the screw-in stainless steel caseback. In true testament to its durability, the watch is designed with a water resistance rating of 200 meters, as the brand recognises the vital functionality required from such timepieces.

Always honouring the classical tradition of pilot’s timepieces in its design, Raketa also exhibits its understanding of the modern user’s needs by including a tool-less bracelet change function. Finally, pricing at approximately $2,220, the Pilot 0301, equipped with a genuine leather strap, can be pre-ordered from Raketa directly.
