Raketa, simply beatifull

It's one of the most beautifull dial patern I've come across so I thought of sharing it with you, and maybe you can post more of these beauties.

Equipped with Raketa cal.2609, pretty well finished:

I'm not too good a photographer and these pics definitely don't do it justice.

So does anybody got any more watches with similar dials.

Beautiful watch! Besides being original and attractive, it's also not hard to read accurately. The famous minimalist Movado dial, with a single mark at 12:00 on a plain black dial is artistic, and you can probably read the correct hour but can you read the minutes accurately? Here you have three marks, but the intersections of the arcs are at the mid points, so the dial is in fact marked in six places, or two hour intervals. Plus the minutes are on the outside of the dial, so you can read the correct minute.

heres mine with the same dial except it is in a gold plated case. The dial is dirty and I tried to clean it but it didn't end well and accidentally removed the 17th minute marker

And here's mine - fresh from eBay and in need of a serious clean and polish. Movement is 2609AI.

There's also the equivalent design with 4 lines (both with straight lines, and another one with curved lines), but I agree - this design with three lines is extremely elegant.

Beautiful watch, one of the most elegant (if not THE most elegant) among Raketa's dial designs.
I especially like the domed crystal, I wonder if this feature has been preserved in Raketa's recent "Temporary Collection".

...I think that you've just demonstrated how badly I need to get out of the house.
That is a very attractive dial and I really love the watch design, yet the first thing that sprang to mind was "Volkov AA Complex".

How embarassing.
