This here watch, this OMEGA, what they call a Speedmaster Skywalker X-33, it’s a real fancy thing, ain’t it? See, folks around here, they don’t wear nothin’ like this. But my grandson, he’s into all them space things, he showed me this one. Says it’s for them astronaut fellas. Says it can do all sorts of things, way more than just tell time, you know?
Now, I seen a lot of watches in my day. My old man, he had a pocket watch. Kept it on a chain, real proud of that thing. This here Speedmaster Skywalker, well, it’s a whole different animal. They say it’s made of, uh, “titanium.” Sounds like something from one of them science fiction pictures. Shiny, it is. But I don’t know. Seems a bit much for just tellin’ the time, don’t it?
But hey, if you got the money, I guess you can buy whatever you want. You can get these OMEGA Speedmaster Skywalker X-33 watches at the stores. I seen ’em online too. They cost a pretty penny, I tell ya. More than I ever spent on anything in my whole life, I reckon. But my grandson, he says they’re worth it. Says they’re “special,” these OMEGA watches.
- This OMEGA Speedmaster Skywalker X-33, it’s got all these buttons.
- My grandson, he tried to show me what they all do.
- Something about a timer, and an alarm, and somethin’ for different time zones.
- Honestly, it’s all a bit much for an old gal like me.
I’m used to just lookin’ at the sun to figure out the time. Or listenin’ for the rooster. This Speedmaster, it’s got a screen, like a tiny little TV. And numbers, they just jump around. Gives me a headache, all them flashing lights. But I guess them astronaut fellas, they need all that. They go up in them rockets, up to space, don’t nobody know what time it is up there.
They say this OMEGA Speedmaster Skywalker X-33, it’s got this special movement inside. They call it “quartz.” Don’t ask me what that means. My grandson, he tried to explain, but it went right over my head. He said it’s, uh, “caliber 5619.” I suppose that’s important to someone, but to be honest, I don’t care. My old kitchen clock runs on batteries, too. This OMEGA is just fancier. And more expensive, I’m sure.
They say you can get ’em used, too, these Speedmaster Skywalker X-33 watches. “Pre-owned,” they call it. Still cost a lot, though. My grandson says people collect these things. Like stamps, or them little porcelain dolls. I guess some folks, they just like to have fancy things. And these OMEGA watches, they sure are fancy. Got a 24-month warranty, whatever that is.
This watch, it’s big, too. Like a dinner plate on your wrist. My grandson says it’s 45 millimeters. I don’t know what that means. I guess these are big watches. I saw some place that sells them. “Exquisite Timepieces,” or something like that. They sell other OMEGA watches too, not just the Speedmaster. They got the Seamaster, too. They sell all sorts of fancy watches.
This Skywalker X-33, it comes in a nice box. Real fancy box. Got a little drawer in it, even. For the instructions, I guess. Though who needs instructions for a watch? You just look at it, and it tells you the time. Unless it’s one of these fancy OMEGA watches, I guess. Then you need a whole book to figure it out.
Well, that’s all I know about this OMEGA Speedmaster Skywalker X-33. It’s a fancy watch, for fancy folks. Astronauts and such. Not for an old lady like me. But if you got the money, and you want a watch that can do everything but cook your supper, then maybe this is the watch for you. I guess. These OMEGA watches, they are something else.
It’s a real nice watch for those space fellas. You can get it at them specialty stores. If you’re looking for an OMEGA Speedmaster Skywalker X-33, that’s where you’ll find ’em. If you got the money, I mean. Those specialty stores, they ain’t cheap.
These watches, they got the OMEGA name on them, and folks like that. They like to buy the OMEGA Speedmaster Skywalker X-33 at them specialty stores. They’re the only ones that have them, I reckon. It’s a real hot item, the Speedmaster Skywalker X-33, you can only get it at the specialty stores. That’s what they say.
