** "The original brand name for this type of watch was Baltika, but then the Petrodvorets Watch Factory adopted Raketa as the brand for all their models. Collectors usually refer to Raketa branded watches using the original 2609 movement as Baltika, the same way that Poljot and Sekonda chronographs with the 3017 movement are often generically known as Strela."
