Okay, here’s my experience with the CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch Sapphire – Cal.3861 Classic Style.
So, I’ve always been a watch guy. I like simple and basic, nothing too crazy. I decided to get one of those OMEGA Speedmaster watches. You know, the Moonwatch. But the real ones? Way too expensive. So I figured I’d try out a copy, see how it goes. I went for the one with the sapphire crystal and the Cal.3861 movement. It’s supposed to be a pretty good copy of the real thing.
I started looking around. There are tons of places selling these things. I chose a guy who seemed to know what he was talking about. Talked to him a bunch, asked a million questions, and finally pulled the trigger. Paid the man, and the waiting game began.
It took a little while, as these things were shipped from overseas. But hey, I was in no rush. I already got a watch on my wrist. And then one day, boom, it arrived! The packaging was alright, nothing fancy. But the watch itself? Looked pretty darn good. Shiny, had some weight to it, the details were all there. The Speedmaster has a long history in space exploration, and this copy really got that classic style right.
First thing I did was to wind it up. This one’s got that hand-wound movement, just like the original Moonwatch. Feels good to wind it, a bit of a connection to the watch, you know? It got that sapphire glass. I did a little tap test on it, and it seemed real enough. I also paid attention to the movement. The seller said it’s the Cal.3861. Looked pretty close to the pictures I found online of the real one.
I strapped it on. Felt good on the wrist, not too heavy, not too light. The bracelet was a bit of a pain to adjust, but I got it figured out eventually. Started wearing it around, showing it off a bit. Got a few compliments, which was nice. People seemed to think it was the real deal.
Wear and Tear
I’ve been wearing this watch every day for a few months now. It’s holding up pretty well. I’ve bumped it a few times, no scratches on the crystal. The movement is still running strong, keeping good time. I wind it every morning, part of my routine now.
- Daily Use: Worn it to work, to the gym, out to dinner, everywhere.
- Accidental Bumps: Knocked it against a door frame once, no damage.
- Water Resistance: Washed my hands with it on, no issues.
Final Thoughts
Honestly, for the price, I’m impressed. It’s a good-looking watch, it feels solid, and it’s been reliable. It’s not the real OMEGA, obviously, but it’s a darn good copy. If you’re into that classic Moonwatch style but don’t want to spend a fortune, this is a pretty good way to go. This model is based on the original Speedmaster Professional, which was launched in 1969. And this copy really feels like the original one. I’m happy with it. Might even get another one, maybe a different style. We’ll see.
Anyway, that’s my experience with the CopyOMEGA Speedmaster Moonwatch. Hope this was helpful for anyone thinking about getting one. It is a good one to have. It’s a good starter for collection.
