Space watches are designed to withstand forces that are literally out of this world. This includes instantaneous 200-degree changes in temperature, acidic humidity and g-forces up to 40Gs.

Today, modern reinterpretations exist for those who admire the craftsmanship and indestructibility of space watches, or are planning to subject their watches to torturous conditions.

Some iconic models include the Sturmanskie Yuri Gagarin (named, of course, after the first man in space), the Omega Speedmaster and the Fortis B-42 Official .

Space watches are ideal for those fascinated by humanity’s voyages into space, or who have high performance requirements of their watches.
