90 OF
YEARS
PRECISION
Our journey began in 1936 when Finnish inventor Tuomas Vohlonen set out to create a more accurate and reliable compass capable of enduring the harshest Nordic conditions.
RESILIENCE
The liquid-filled compass laid the foundation for a company defined by precision, innovation and a deep respect for the rugged nature of the brand's native Finland and the demands it sets for outdoor adventures.
ADVENTURE
Adventure is not defined by extremes but by mindset: the desire to push further, climb higher, dive deeper or simply step outside to discover something new. ​​
DISCOVERY
Since 1936 Suunto instruments have accompanied adventurers to the bottom of the oceans, across the wilderness, and to highest peaks of mountains. ​
COURAGE
We have repeatedly defined new eras in outdoor, endurance and diving technology. While staying true to our heritage.​
TRUE NORTH
Trust is earned in the wild—and We have been earning it for generations.
INNOVATION
The spirit of Finnish functionality, quiet confidence, endurance and clarity of design, has shaped every Suunto instrument since the beginning. ​
PROGRESS
As we enter its next 90 years, the company remains committed to advancing navigation, endurance performance, physiological intelligence and material durability. ​
This innovation has always been shaped by the Suunto community, and bringing the outdoor community together and to the core of the brand is integral to Suunto.​
