What to know

Raketa’s Russian Code – Meridian, reference W-13-20-10-0344, continues the collection’s defining reversal: its hands travel counter-clockwise around the dial. The stainless-steel case is 39.5 mm across and 15.78 mm thick, with a domed sapphire crystal and 5 ATM water resistance. Meridian graphics reinforce the geographic theme without disguising the unconventional display.
