The most important moment in the brand’s history, without a doubt, was Yuri Gagarin going on his first ever space mission wearing a Sturmanskie watch.

12 April 1961 marked the most significant event in the history of mankind: the launch of the first manned spacecraft, Vostok, from the Baikonur
space centre. The world's first cosmonaut, Soviet pilot Yuri Gagarin spent 108 minutes in orbit, making a full circle around the Earth. That science
and technology breakthrough of the Soviet school of rocketry and cosmonautics became a new milestone in world history, and Sturmanskie Watch became the FIRST WATCHES in the world to have been in outer SPACE. .

From April 1961 and to this day, Sturmanskie watches have been used in manned space missions by Soviet,

Russian, and foreign astronauts.
The brand creators and designers constantly consult with specialists
from the mission control centre and Roscosmos when developing new models, and also receive interesting suggestions and comments from cosmonauts on ways to improve Sturmanskie watches.

It is a major challenge to bring together faultless reliability, time-tested durability, functionality and maintainability in a single product. Nevertheless, we bring all these principles to life by studying space technology and building on the experience of Soviet watchmakers.
Another unique quality of the Sturmanskie watches is their affordability for buyers who share the brand values and prefer high quality and durability in watches.
