Sturmanskie Gagarin Vintage Retro

Sturmanskie Gagarin Vintage Retro

A Watch That Made History

On April 12, 1961, the world changed forever.
Yuri Gagarin became the first human in space. On his wrist: a specially manufactured Sturmanskie timepiece created for this historic space flight.

The watch performed flawlessly in zero gravity – and became part of space exploration history.

The Sturmanskie Gagarin Vintage Retro is a tribute to that very moment. Both visually and technically, the series closely follows the original 1961 model, reviving the spirit of the early 1960s with its clear Arabic numerals, classic hand design, warm vintage aesthetics, and the iconic red star.

Space Heritage Since 1961

Since the first manned space flight, Sturmanskie has been an official watch supplier to Soviet – and later Russian – cosmonauts.

The watch is manufactured in Russia by Volmax, continuing the authentic tradition of the legendary brand Sturmanskie.

Each Gagarin model is built to withstand demanding conditions while staying true to its historical design – the perfect balance between engineering and vintage character.
