Raketa got a lot of things right with this world time watch equipped with a 24-hours mechanical movement 2623.H. The inner bezel with cities rotates using the crown at 4 o’clock (or rather 8 o’clock). This watch comes in either a chrome-plated or a gold-plated case (see this page for my gold-plated version). The outer bezel should in principle be black. If the bezel is chromed or gold-plated (which I see quite often), the case is likely from another 24-hours model.
Model number: 4691471 (there seems to be some mix-up in catalogs if you compare the catalog scans below; I have no explanation)
Movement: Raketa 2623.Н 24-hours movement (manual)
Lug width: 18mm
Case: chrome-plated, ~40mm
Period: mid 1980’s to early 1990’s

There were also export versions of course, with cities written in English. And quite a few different commemorative dials, like the one below celebrating the Soyuz TM-15 mission which included cosmonauts from Russia and France.
