Okay, so I’ve been eyeing this OMEGA Speedmaster X-33 Marstimer for a while now. I mean, who wouldn’t want a watch that can track time on Mars? That’s just cool. It’s not every day you see a piece like this, and when you do, you know it’s something special. I did some digging online, found out it’s made in partnership with the European Space Agency (ESA), which made it even more appealing to me. They have the Moon, why not Mars?
The first thing I did was check out some online forums and what people were saying about it. Some folks were going crazy over it, while others were a bit skeptical. But, you know, that’s the internet for you. Anyway, the pictures online looked amazing, especially that titanium case. I found the official reference number too: 318.90.45.79.01.003. I saw the price tag – $6,400. Ouch! But hey, it’s an OMEGA, and it’s got some serious tech inside.
I went ahead and visited a local OMEGA authorized dealer. You know, just to “window shop.” But let’s be real, I was already halfway sold. Seeing it in person was a whole other experience. The grade 2 titanium felt so light on my wrist, and the attention to detail was just insane. It was like new and unworn. The sales guy told me it has this special movement, the OMEGA calibre 5619. I pretended to know what he was talking about, but it did sound impressive. I got to play around with the buttons, and man, it felt like I was operating a spaceship or something. They even had the original box and papers, dated 2024 – super fresh.
After much deliberation, and maybe a little bit of impulse, I decided to go for it. I mean, I could already imagine myself showing it off to my buddies. “Oh, this? Yeah, it tracks time on Mars.” I know, I know, it’s a bit much, but I was excited.

So, there you have it. That’s how I ended up with an OMEGA Speedmaster X-33 Marstimer on my wrist. It was a bit of a splurge, but honestly, no regrets. It’s a conversation starter, a piece of engineering marvel, and yeah, it tells time on Mars. How many people can say that about their watch?
