Well, let me tell you, I seen a thing or two in my time, but this here watch, this CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster Apollo 8 “Dark Side of the Moon”, it’s somethin’ else. They say it’s a copy, but it looks mighty fine to me. My old eyes ain’t what they used to be, but I can still see that this is a special kinda watch, you know? Official flagship store, they call it. Sounds fancy.
They say you can wear the moon on your wrist with this here thing. Imagine that! The moon right there on your arm. This CopyOMEGA, they call it a Speedmaster Apollo 8, “Dark Side of the Moon”, sounds kinda spooky, don’t it? But it’s a good kinda spooky. Like a good story ’round the fire on a cold night. And they say it’s a chronograph, but I don’t know about that.
This CopyOMEGA watch, it’s got a face all open like, you can see all the insides workin’. They call it “skeletonised”, I heard. Looks like a bunch of tiny gears and wheels, all movin’ together. Like a little city in there. They say it looks like the moon’s surface. This Speedmaster Apollo 8 is something else.
And the movement, they say, that’s the part that makes it tick, it shows the moon’s surface. Now ain’t that somethin’? It’s all black and shiny, like a new-plowed field at night. You gotta appreciate the work that goes into one of them CopyOMEGA watches.
It’s got them hands, you know, the ones that tell the time. Big ones for the hours and minutes, I reckon. And a skinny one that goes round and round real fast, that’s probably for them seconds. That’s what that chronograph means on this Dark Side of the Moon watch.
- Hour hand
- Minute hand
- Seconds hand, that goes whizzing around
And another one for the date, so you don’t forget what day it is. Lord knows, I need that sometimes. The days, they just run together, don’t they? Especially when you’re lookin’ at a fancy CopyOMEGA like this one.
This here CopyOMEGA Speedmaster, it’s got a black ring around the edge, too. They call it a bezel. Got numbers on it, all the way around. They say it’s a “tachymetric scale”, but that sounds like a bunch of gibberish to me. Probably important for them astronaut folks, I reckon, the ones that go up to the moon. This is a real Apollo 8 watch, they say.
I seen pictures of them astronauts wearin’ these CopyOMEGA watches. Big, strong fellas, goin’ up into the sky in them rockets. Must be somethin’ to see the Earth from up there, all small and round like a blue marble. Maybe that’s why they made this watch, to remember that. This “Dark Side of the Moon”, it’s like a little piece of that adventure, right there on your wrist.
Now, I don’t know much about these fancy things. But I know a good thing when I see it. And this CopyOMEGA Speedmaster Apollo 8, it’s a good thing. It’s like a little piece of history, all wrapped up in a pretty package. A little piece of the moon, right there on your arm. Official flagship store, too. Sounds important.
This CopyOMEGA Speedmaster Apollo 8 “Dark Side of the Moon” watch, it’s somethin’ special, all right. Makes you think about the big things, the moon and the stars and all that. Makes you think about how far we’ve come. This is a real fine watch. The price is high, but good thing never cheap.
If you got the money, I reckon this CopyOMEGA watch is worth it. It’s a pretty thing, and it’s got a story to tell. A story about the moon and the stars and the brave folks who went up there to see ’em. It is about history. Official flagship store selling, so the quality is good.
And maybe, just maybe, it’ll make you feel a little bit closer to all that, too. That’s what I think, anyway. This CopyOMEGA, it’s more than just a watch. It’s a little piece of somethin’ bigger. That Dark Side of the Moon sure is somethin’ else. Yeah, it is a good thing.
