This here watch, it’s somethin’ else, I tell ya! They call it the CopyOMEGA, yeah, that’s it, the CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster Apollo 8 “Dark Side of the Moon”. Fancy name, right? Sounds like somethin’ outta one of them space movies. And it says “Official flagship store” – must be a real important place, huh?
So, this fella, this CopyOMEGA Speedmaster, it’s got all these doodads and thingamajigs. I seen pictures, and it’s got this face, all black and shiny. They say it’s s’posed to look like the moon. The dark side, they call it. You know, the part you can’t see from here. Kinda spooky if ya ask me, but I guess some folks like that.
And get this, they say it’s got somethin’ called a “skeletonised dial”. Now, I ain’t no fancy watch expert, but that sounds like somethin’ outta a horror picture. Maybe it’s got little bones in it? Ha! Just jokin’. But it does show all the insides, all them little gears and wheels turnin’. Kinda neat, I suppose, seein’ how it all works.
They say this CopyOMEGA Speedmaster Apollo 8, it’s ’bout some big trip to the moon. Apollo 8, that’s what they call it. Musta been a while back, ’cause I don’t remember hearin’ ’bout it recently. But they made this whole watch just to remember it. Musta been mighty important to them astronaut fellas.
Now, this here watch, it ain’t cheap. No sir! It’s one of them luxury Swiss watches. Swiss, that’s some fancy place over the ocean, I hear. They make good cheese there, too, or so I’m told. Anyway, this CopyOMEGA Speedmaster Apollo 8, it’s got this special… thingamajig inside. They call it the OMEGA Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 3869. What a mouthful! Sounds like somethin’ a doctor would say. I can’t read it, sounds like a bunch of fancy words.
- This CopyOMEGA, it’s a big ‘un. 44.25 mm, they say.
- And it’s made of this black ceramic stuff. Not like the plates your grandma used to have, though. This is some tough stuff, I bet.
- Straps made of cow skin. It must be expensive.
They say this CopyOMEGA Speedmaster, it’s all made with the best stuff. Gold, even! And somethin’ called platinum. Sounds expensive. And stainless steel, like them pots and pans my neighbor, Betty, got. But I bet this is some fancy stainless steel. They say they even use somethin called “synthetic rubies”. Sounds like somethin’ from that jewelry store they got over at the mall. It’s supposed to make it last longer, with no wear and tear. They say these parts are made to make sure it don’t break down. Less friction, they call it. Sounds like what you need for them old tractors. They say it’s important for the movements. I don’t know much about that, but it sounds real complicated.
They use a laser to make it look like the moon! How about that? This CopyOMEGA Speedmaster Apollo 8, it’s got all the latest gadgets. They call it laser ablation. I don’t understand these words, but sounds like it must take some fancy machine to do that. It’s supposed to look like the part of the moon we see from Earth. They call it the near side. Makes it real special, like. They say this 3869, it’s like a 3861, but all fancy-like with that moon picture.
And on the back, they got these words all written out. Says “APOLLO 8” and some other stuff. Must be important, to write it right on the watch like that. It’s like them tattoos young folks get, but classier, I guess. This CopyOMEGA Speedmaster, it’s like a little piece of history, right there on your wrist.
Well, I reckon that’s about all I know ’bout this CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster Apollo 8 “Dark Side of the Moon”. It’s a fancy piece of work, that’s for sure. If you got the money, and you like all them space things, then maybe this is the watch for you. Me? I’ll stick to my old wind-up. It tells time just fine, and I don’t need no moon on my wrist to do it!
It’s a good watch if you want to show off. I guess. If you are into that kind of thing. This CopyOMEGA thing, it’s somethin’ else, I tell you what.
