Volmax (Aviator, Buran, Sturmanskie, RChZ): Brand Information
Updated 30 Aug 2010 by Editor, RussianWatchGuide.com See also Sturmanskie and Buran 
Volmax is a Moscow-based company that produces the Aviator, Buran and Sturmanskie watch brands. They also produced the Russian Watch Factory brand (RChZ).
Volmax was formed in 2000 by former Poljot employees. In 2002, the company registered three of the most famed Russian watch brands, Aviator, Buran and Sturmanskie, with the latter holding the distinction of being the first watch in space. The Aviator line is the official watch of the Russian military aerobatic flying team, the SWIFTS. Most Volmax watches use Russian movements. Others use Swiss ETA movements. Volmax says it sets itself apart from other Russian watch companies "with a direct link to the heritage of the First Moscow Watch Factory combined with young, aggressive watchmakers determined to revive the Russian watch industry to its previous glory." Some retailers refer to Volmax watches as Poljot watches. However, this is not strictly accurate. Volmax watches do not use the Poljot brand name or logo on their watches. However, some do use Poljot movements (made by Maktime). Volmax watches are not cheap. These are quality watches with a very good level of finish. An entry-level Aviator watch costs about $150. Many Volmax watches sell for between $500 and $1000. Some cost much more. Many Volmax watches fit in the category of "limited edition" or "collectors" watches. Volmax is officially distributed in more than 25 countries. Reviews See the Aviator 45mm review and Aviator 26669 review. Where to Buy The best place to buy a Volmax watch is from an official, authorized retailer. See Where to Buy a Russian Watch and Best Prices, Deals & Special Offers.

It is either a Poljot or a Volmax... but Volmax is NOT Poljot ! But 2006 you probably have a Volmax Aviator ! Just received on Polet watch great watch and vfm. from poljot 24 de. Chris, the USA distributor for Volmax (Aviator) is Detente Distributing. The URL is http://www.detentewatches.com/ I have a Poljot Aviator chronograph that I purchased in 2006. The watch does not work at all, I can't wind it or even adjust the dials. I need to have it repaired but am unsure of where to have it done. I know there was a US distributor a couple of years ago, but I can't find their site or info about it. The factory site also isn't available. I'm hoping you can point me in the right direction. I live in Massachusetts USA. Good watches. Right up there with Rolex, Omega at a fraction of the price |
