Buran watches are recognized for their luxurious attributes and features and are of superb quality and design. Wearing a Buran watch on your wrist will give you complete confidence and will distinguish you from others. With a more contemporary design than the Aviator and the Shturmanskie lines, the Buran line of watches is of finest quality, allowing the use of precious metals, like gold, in the manufacturing of the watch case and movements.

Buran, in Russian, has two meanings. The word is pronounced "Bour-ran" and it means "a snowstorm". The second meaning has to do with the successful testing of the Russian space shuttle also called Buran, which was carried out in the Soviet Union on November 15, 1988. The Buran shuttle went into orbit and flew twice around the Earth before making an unmanned landing in an auto pilot mode at the Baikonur space centre. It was a remarkable success of national science and technology, which opened up a completely new stage in the Russian Program of Space Exploration. Several of the Buran wristwatches were designed in honor of the event.
