The first in the space

First in Space — The Story of Sturmanskie

On 12 April 1961, history changed forever. Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin became the first human to travel into space aboard Vostok 1, completing one full orbit around Earth in just 108 minutes.

On his wrist, he wore a watch produced by the First Moscow Watch Factory — a Sturmanskie.

This was not a luxury object or a commercial product. It was a military-issued pilot’s watch, built for accuracy, durability, and survival in extreme conditions. During the mission it endured launch vibration, weightlessness, and re-entry stresses — and still kept working perfectly after returning to Earth.

That single moment transformed everything.

From that day forward, Sturmanskie became part of one of the most important milestones in human history:

the first human in space
the beginning of orbital flight
the birth of the space age

Today, “First in Space” is more than a historical fact — it is the identity of the brand. It represents precision, courage, and exploration beyond limits.

A watch that once measured 108 minutes in orbit became a symbol that will last for generations.
