Alright, folks, gather ’round. I wanna talk about this watch I’ve been messing with lately. It’s called the CopyOMEGA Speedmaster Apollo 8 “Dark Side of the Moon.” Sounds fancy, right? Well, it kinda is, but it’s not the real deal that went to space, so keep that in mind.
First off, I got my hands on this thing. It’s all black and sleek. They say it’s supposed to be like the dark side of the moon, you know, the part we don’t see. I started wearing it around, just to see how it felt. It’s got a good weight to it, not too heavy, not too light. And the strap, it’s pretty tough. I’ve knocked it against a few things, and it hasn’t left a mark.
I started doing some digging about this watch. Turns out, it’s supposed to be like the ones those astronaut fellas wore when they went zoomin’ around the moon back in the day. Apollo 8, that was the mission. First time humans ever saw the far side of the moon. Pretty cool history, I gotta say.
Now, this CopyOMEGA, it’s not the exact same watch those astronauts had, obviously. But it’s got the same vibe, you know? It’s like a tribute to that whole space adventure. I wore it to work, to the grocery store, even when I was just tinkering in my garage. It held up fine, told the time like it’s supposed to.
Here’s the thing, I wanted to see if this watch was worth the hype. So, I wore it every day for a while. I even timed some stuff with the chronograph, just for kicks. It’s got those little dials and buttons on the side. Felt like a real pilot or something, ha! It’s all for show, but hey, it’s fun.
- Look and Feel: It’s a good-lookin’ watch. All black, kinda mysterious. Feels solid on the wrist.
- The Strap: Strong, comfortable. Didn’t irritate my skin or anything.
- Using It: Told the time just fine. Played around with the chronograph, that was neat.
- History: It’s got that connection to the Apollo 8 mission, which is cool if you’re into that kinda thing.
My Two Cents
Look, if you’re into watches, and you like that space history stuff, this CopyOMEGA Speedmaster Apollo 8 “Dark Side of the Moon” might be your jam. It’s a conversation starter, for sure. People see it and they ask about it. I tell ’em about the Apollo 8 mission, about the dark side of the moon. It’s a fun little story.
But, let’s be real, it’s not a real astronaut watch. It didn’t go to space. It’s just a copy, a good one, but still a copy. If you want something that looks cool, feels good, and has a bit of a story behind it, then yeah, check it out. Just don’t expect it to make you an astronaut.
It’s a good watch, not a magic watch. That’s what I always say, hope you enjoyed my little story about it.
