Suunto is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Helsinki-based Amer Sports Corporation with sister brands Wilson, Atomic, Salomon, Precor and Mavic.
Suunto was founded in 1936 by outdoors man and a keen orienteering enthusiast Tuomas Vohlonen, who had long been bothered by a problem: the inaccuracy of traditional dry compasses and their lack of steady needle operation. Being an engineer with an inventive turn of mind, he discovered and patented the production method for a much steadier needle, better readings and a new level of accuracy.
Today Suunto is the largest manufacturer of compasses and precision instruments used all around the world for accurate measurement in areas such as forestry, mining, and surveying.
Tuomas Vohlonen would never have been able to imagine where technology was heading, but he understood one fundamental thing that is as true today as it was in 1936 ~ It is always important to know where you are going!
We are an authorized Suunto retailer! Occasionally, due to high demand of some products, delivery time might be 1-2 weeks. We do not ship watches to P.O. box or mail forwarding addresses!
