Company Volmax

Company Volmax, based in Moscow, Russia, internationally markets Russian-assembled watches. The Volmax brands are Aviator, Buran, Sturmanskie, and Russian Watch Factory (РЧЗ).

Volmax was formed in 2002. With the partial demise of the First Moscow Watch Factory ("FMWF") in late 2004. Non-chronograph mechanical movements are delivered by Swiss Eta or Russian Vostok, while chronograph movements are produced by another Russian firm, MakTime. Besides the brand names Buran and Sturmanskie, which were acquired by Volmax in 2004, the current models have nothing to do with the famous models originally produced by the First Moscow Watch Factory.

In 2005, Volmax announced the creation of a new brand, Russian Watch Factory (in Russian: Русский Часовой Завод, or РЧЗ). The logo of РЧЗ is the three letters surrounded by a pentagon; this design is inspired from early Soviet factories that had similar logos. The first model released under the new brand name is called the Patriot (Патриот). According to Volmax, the new brand will feature colours and shapes from watches of the 1930s and 1940s, but enlarged cases for today's customer preferences.

Volmax's Aviator watch was selected by Miramax for merchandising for the movie The Aviator.
