Sturmanskie Luna 25 Black

Luna 25 refers to the planned lunar lander mission by the Russian Federation Space Agency that will launch in October 2021.

The watch itself is a modern sporty chronograph with details that allude to the lunar mission.

Sturmanskie watches have always been associated with space (exploration). The revival of the country's lunar program is important for the Russian space program and, therefore, navigators celebrate a new step of the lunar mission with the creation of the Luna 25 collection

The Russians were the first to explore space on 12 April 1961 when cosmonaut, Yuri Gagarin, orbited the Earth in his Vostok-1 for one hour and forty-eight minutes. On his wrist, he wore a Sturmanskie watch, the first special timepiece in the world designed and manufactured to go in to space.

Withstanding the severe conditions of zero gravity, strong accelerations, unpredictable vibrations, and varying temperatures, Sturmanskie was the first brand to make astronomical feats in the watch world.

Its innovation was owed to the nautical and aviation chronometers originally developed for the Military Air Forces and Navy by the First Moscow Watch Factory.

The brand Sturmanskie was first launched in 1949. Back then, it was exclusively available for the Armed Forces and Navy of the USSR. It was only in 1983 that Sturmanskie watches were made available to the general public. 

Sturmanskie designs continue to be inspired by and pay homage to new frontiers, adventure and exploration.
