Alright, let’s talk about this here watch, the CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster Apollo 8 “Dark Side of the Moon”. Sounds fancy, don’t it? But I’ll tell ya what I know, plain and simple.
This here watch, they say it’s about that Apollo 8 thing. You know, when them fellas went to the moon. Big deal, they say. This watch, it’s supposed to ‘member that. Like a picture, but on your wrist.
Now, they call it the “Dark Side of the Moon”. Sounds spooky, like somethin’ you shouldn’t see. But it just means the back of the moon, the part you can’t see from here. This watch, it’s got that look, all dark and mysterious. They made it special, see? For that Apollo 8 thing’s 50th anniversary, or some such.
This watch, it ain’t no battery watch, ya hear? You gotta wind it up yourself. Like them old clocks, remember? They say it can run for 50 hours if you wind it up good. That’s more than two whole days! That’s a long time, I tell ya. They call it “manual-winding”, makes it sound important.
And the insides? They say it’s got somethin’ called a “Calibre 3861”. Sounds like somethin’ from a car engine, don’t it? But it’s what makes the watch tick, they say. It’s fancy, like them new cars with all them buttons. This here Calibre thing, they say it’s tough, can handle all sorts of stuff. Magnets and whatnot, won’t mess it up.
- Strong inside parts: They call it “Co-Axial Master Chronometer”. Fancy words, but it means it’s good, real good.
- Keeps good time: They say it’s “chronometric performance.” Means it tells time right, not like that old cuckoo clock that always goes wonky.
- No magnets problems: It’s got “magnetic resistance”, so it won’t get messed up if you’re around magnets. Not that I’m ever around magnets much, but still.
Now, about the look of it. It’s a big watch, 42mm they say. That’s… well, it’s big. It’s made of that shiny metal, “stainless steel” they call it. Stays shiny, I guess, even if you get it all sweaty. And it’s got a black face, with little circles inside. Those little circles, they’re for… well, they’re for somethin’. They say it’s a “chronograph”, means it can time things. Like how long it takes to cook a good pot of beans, I guess.
The strap, it’s that shiny metal too. Got a clasp, so it don’t fall off your wrist. Wouldn’t want that, losin’ a fancy watch like this.
They sell this watch in a “official flagship store”. That just means a big fancy store, I reckon. Probably got all sorts of shiny things in there. They probably got folks in suits, talking all proper. Makes me nervous just thinkin’ about it. But if you want this here watch, that’s where you gotta go, I guess. Or maybe you can get it online, on that internet thing. My grandson, he’s always on that thing. Says you can buy anything on there.
So, this CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster Apollo 8 “Dark Side of the Moon” watch, it’s a fancy thing, ain’t it? For rememberin’ that moon trip, and tellin’ time real good. It’s tough, and it looks good, I guess. If you got the money, and you like that moon stuff, maybe it’s for you. Me? I’ll stick with my old clunker, it tells time just fine. But this here watch, it sure is somethin’ special, they say.
And remember, they say it’s got somethin’ to do with “Omega Speedmaster Apollo” and “Omega Dark Side Moon Apollo 8”. That’s what they put on them computer things, so folks can find it. Like findin’ a good recipe for apple pie, I guess. Only this here is a watch, not a pie. Though, come to think of it, a good apple pie sounds mighty fine right now…
This here watch, they really made a big deal outta it bein’ special, ya know? For that space trip anniversary and all. Gotta hand it to ‘em, they sure know how to make a fuss over things. And all them fancy words they use, “chronometer”, “co-axial”… makes my head spin. But the bottom line is, it’s a watch, tells time, and it’s supposed to be real good.
They say the black dial and them little circles, they make it look like the moon. Never seen the moon up close myself, but I guess it does look kinda like them pictures in the books. And the shiny metal, well, that just makes it look expensive, don’t it? Like somethin’ you’d wear to a fancy shindig. Not that I go to many fancy shindigs, but still. A body can dream, can’t she?
And that “manual-winding”, that’s somethin’ else. Like I said, it’s like them old clocks. You gotta wind it up yourself, every couple of days they say. Some folks might not like that, they want things easy these days. But there’s somethin’ nice about windin’ somethin’ up yourself, knowin’ you’re the one makin’ it work. Like churnin’ butter, or kneadin’ bread. Takes a little effort, but it’s worth it in the end.
So, there you have it. My two cents on this here CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster Apollo 8 “Dark Side of the Moon” watch. It’s fancy, it’s tough, and it’s got somethin’ to do with the moon. If that’s what you’re lookin’ for, well, then this might just be the watch for you. Just don’t go losin’ it, ya hear? That’d be a crying shame, losin’ a watch like that. Now, where’d I put my glasses? Can’t see a thing without ‘em…
