Alright, folks, gather ’round, let me tell you about this watch I’ve been messing with. So, I finally did it. I got myself one of those fancy OMEGA Speedmaster Professional Moonwatches. Yeah, the one they call the “Moonwatch.” Sounds cool, right?
I’ve been wanting this thing for a while now. First off, it’s got this see-through back. You can see all the little gears and stuff moving around inside. It’s pretty neat. I started looking into these watches, reading up on them, you know how it is. Turns out, this Speedmaster is a big deal. They say it went to the moon and all that. Apollo 11, that’s the one. OMEGA even made some special limited edition ones to celebrate that whole moon landing thing.
- First Impressions:
- I started researching OMEGA.
- I knew I wanted a Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch.
- I had a hard time choosing between different references.
Now, this watch I got, it’s not one of those super rare ones, but it’s the real deal. Stainless steel, you know, the classic look. But that transparent back, man, that’s what sold me. I heard some people say to get rid of the transparent back, but I wanted it. I like seeing the insides. The reference number for this one is, like, 311.30.42.30.01.005 or something. Numbers, numbers, numbers. I went with the transparent case back. I wanted to see the movement.
- Purchasing:
- I found a good deal online.
- I made the purchase from an authorized dealer.
- The watch arrived within a few days.
Anyway, I heard these watches hold their value pretty well. Not like those Rolexes or whatever, those things are crazy expensive. But still, the Speedmaster does okay. They say the old ones, the vintage ones, those are worth a lot. And the limited editions, of course.
- Unboxing:
- I carefully opened the box.
- I inspected the watch for any damage.
- I wound the watch and set the time.
They even make these Moonwatches out of different stuff now. Not just steel, but gold and this weird ceramic stuff. There’s even a plastic one, I think. But I wanted the classic, you know? Stainless steel, transparent back, the whole shebang.
- Wearing:
- I’ve been wearing the watch daily.
- I love the way it looks and feels on my wrist.
- The transparent case back is a real conversation starter.
My Thoughts
So, yeah, that’s my story about this OMEGA Speedmaster Moonwatch. It’s a cool watch. I’m happy with it. It’s got some history, looks good, and you can see the insides. What more could you want, right? I’m really happy with my purchase. I think I made a good choice with the Speedmaster. I’m looking forward to wearing it for many years to come. I’ve been wearing it every day since I got it, and I’m still loving it. The transparent case back is definitely a highlight for me. It’s just so cool to be able to see the movement in action.
