Well, let me tell you about this here watch, the CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster Apollo 8 “Dark Side of the Moon.” It’s a real fancy thing, ya know? They say it’s got somethin’ to do with the moon and some fellas flyin’ around up there.
This here watch, it ain’t no ordinary watch, mind you. It’s called the “Dark Side of the Moon,” sounds kinda spooky, don’t it? But it’s real pretty. Black as night, just like them pictures of space they show on TV sometimes.
Now, they tell me this watch was made ’cause some fellas went flyin’ around the moon a long time ago, in 1968 they say. Imagine that! Flyin’ all the way to the moon! Them fellas were brave, I tell ya. And this watch, it’s to remember them, like a special keepsake. They call it the Apollo 8, after that flyin’ contraption they used.
- It’s made of this fancy stuff called ceramic. Sounds like somethin’ you’d make plates outta, but this here is special, I reckon.
- It’s black, like I said, real black. And it’s got all sorts of little dials and numbers on it. Can’t say I understand ’em all, but they look important.
- They say it’s got a “skeletonised dial,” which sounds kinda creepy, like somethin’ out of a Halloween movie. But it just means you can see all the little gears and springs inside. It’s like lookin’ at the engine of a car, all them parts movin’ and tickin’.
This watch, it ain’t just for tellin’ time, no sir. It’s for showin’ off, I guess. Like wearin’ a fancy ring or a shiny necklace. People see it on your wrist and they know you got somethin’ special. They call it “coveted” and “cherished.” Sounds like somethin’ you’d say about a prize-winnin’ pig, don’t it? But that’s what them fancy folks say about this watch.
I heard tell that this watch first came out in 2013, and folks went wild for it. Then they made a new one in 2018, to celebrate 50 years since them fellas went to the moon. They got two kinds, one old and one new, they look kinda the same to me though. They say this new one is black too, just like the first, and made of that ceramic stuff. They call it a “chronograph,” which is a fancy word for a watch that can do more than just tell time, I guess. It’s got a number too, somethin’ like 311.92.44.30.01.001, but I can’t remember all them numbers, too many for my old brain.
Now, this ain’t no cheap watch, mind you. They use all sorts of high-falutin’ materials in it. Gold, platinum, stainless steel, and them little red jewels they call rubies, though they ain’t real rubies I heard, something called synthetic. It’s bigger than most watches too, more than 44 millimeters they say. It’s got a strap made outta leather, so it’s soft on your arm. It’s the kind of watch you’d wear to a weddin’ or a funeral, or maybe to show off at the town fair. You wouldn’t wear it while you’re feedin’ the chickens, that’s for sure. You’d get it all dirty!
You can buy this watch online, they say. On the “official OMEGA Website,” whatever that is. Sounds like one of them fancy stores in the city. I ain’t never been to one of them stores, but I hear they got all sorts of shiny things in there. Watches, jewelry, all sorts of stuff that costs more than my whole farm, I betcha.
So, there you have it. That’s what I know about this CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster Apollo 8 “Dark Side of the Moon” watch. It’s a fancy watch for fancy folks, or for anyone who likes to remember them fellas who went flyin’ around the moon. It’s black, it’s shiny, and it costs a pretty penny. But if you got the money and you want somethin’ special, well, this here watch might just be the ticket. It’s a piece of history, they say. A little piece of the moon on your wrist. Ain’t that somethin’?
