T h u r s d a y , J u l y 1 5 , 2 0 2 1 The Amphibia 0252 - My Opinion Is Fact The best tool watch so far from Raketa - Courtesy of Raketa Welcome to today's "My Opinion Is Fact", as I state unequivocally that the Amphibia 0252 is the best of Raketa's "Tool" collection. Courtesy of Raketa Now the naming conventions that Raketa have adopted can be a touch confusing, but to put this in the correct order: the Amphibia's ultimate designation is (when you land on the final link) listed as "Navy" watch. This is a sub category of "Sea" and "In Love With The Sea", which is a sub-category of "Tool". Well, part of the "Freemium" coverage here at Tempus Fugit is to try and give you the information you really need, without making you leap through a payment fire wall, and without requiring a brand to pass 3 pieces of silver across my palm in exchange for coverage ; ) The other pieces making up the "Tool" collection are thoughtfully decorated, but perhaps a wee-bit too much so. A tool watch is meant to be just that. Basic, efficient, offering only what is really needed. Under the hood is Raketa's 2615 - Courtesy of Raketa Per Raketa - MOVEMENT 2615 3 hand movement with avtomat complication (inside the Raketa Classic BIG ZERO) Number of jewels: 27 Testing positions: 4 Average rate (s/d): -10+20 Average running time (h): 40 Frequency/hour: 18.000 / 2.5Hz Bi-directional automatic winding: Yes Stopper of self-winding unit activated during manual Yes winding: The case is of stainless steel and measures 43 mm in diameter, and is rated to be water resistant to a depth of 40 ATM (1355.98) according to Kyle's Converter The other thing that makes this the best of the Raketa Tool collection is the price - € 950 including the VAT. So, if you are hankering for a Russian tool watch, the Amphibia 0252 is the best one out there. And that is My Opinion Is Fact for today. Enjoy your watches!
