It seems like more and more people are able to go to space these days with the help of space tourism from companies like Virgin and Amazon. Some of the most famous watches from the space race were celebrated and gifted to astronauts as a means to stand up to the extreme temperatures and g forces in space. With a new age of consumer space race coming into play, it is no wonder that we are now seeing a whole new line of space themed watches releasing for this year. Here are some of the top space themed watches you need to watch out for as a collector:
