Well, let me tell you, I heard folks talkin’ ’bout this here CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster Skywalker X-33 thing. Some fancy watch, they say. Sounds like somethin’ from one of them space shows, you know? I seen it on that internet thing, they call it the official flagship store. I don’t know nothin’ about no flagship, but it sure sounds important.
This CopyOMEGA Speedmaster, it ain’t cheap, I tell ya. Costs more than my old cow Bessie did back in the day. But I guess if you’re into them fancy watches, this one’s the real deal. They got all sorts of numbers and letters associated with it too, like 318.90.45.79.01.001, whatever that means. Probably some code for them space fellas.
They say this Skywalker X-33, it’s made for them astronaut folks. You know, the ones who go up in them rockets. Seems a bit much for just tellin’ time, but what do I know? I just use the sun, mostly. But this here watch, it’s got all sorts of doohickeys on it. A crystal display, they call it. Sounds like somethin’ you’d see in a fortune teller’s tent, not on a watch.
- It’s got a ceramic bezel.
- It’s got a central opening.
- It’s got a perpetual calendar.
This watch, its made out of this titanium stuff, grade 2 and grade 5. That sure does sound tough, like it could survive a tornado or somethin’. Maybe that’s why them space fellas like it. And the band is made of the same stuff. Gotta be strong to hold all them gadgets, I reckon.
Now, if you’re thinkin’ of buyin’ one of these CopyOMEGA Speedmaster Skywalker X-33 watches, you best be prepared to shell out some dough. You can get ’em on that internet thing. They say you can buy it directly from the OMEGA website. I guess that’s where the official flagship store is. Sounds fancy, don’t it? They even give you a 24-month warranty. That’s two whole years! And they say you can get some money off if you are buying used one, though I don’t know why anyone would want a used one when they can get a brand new one.
I seen some folks sayin’ they got these watches from a place called Exquisite Timepieces. Sounds like a place for rich folks, if you ask me. But hey, if you got the money, who am I to judge? Just don’t come cryin’ to me when you can’t afford your groceries ’cause you spent all your money on a fancy watch.
This Speedmaster Skywalker X-33, it’s got somethin’ called a calibre 5619. Don’t ask me what that is. Sounds like somethin’ you’d find in a car engine, not a watch. But they say it’s what makes this watch tick, or whatever it is fancy watches do. And they say it’s accurate to within two seconds. Two seconds! I can’t even blink that fast.
They test this watch before it goes to the official flagship store. They test it to plus or minus one second per day. I don’t know why it has to be so precise. I mean, who cares if you’re a second or two off? Unless you’re launchin’ one of them rockets, I guess. And once it is certified, it has 0/+2 seconds accuracy rating. That is some kind of accuracy!
There’s a lot of talk about this watch on them internet forums. People askin’ where to buy a used one, or whether they should buy one at all. Some folks love it, some folks hate it. Just like with everything else, I suppose. There was even some talk about it in Basel 2014. I don’t know where Basel is, but it sounds like a place where they talk about fancy watches.
And you know what they call this watch sometimes? They call it a “chronograph.” Sounds like some kind of old-timey photograph or somethin’. This here CopyOMEGA thing, it sure does have a lot of fancy names.
It is a 45 mm watch. That’s pretty big, I reckon. Bigger than the clock we got on the town square, that’s for sure. And it’s got a black dial and a black ceramic bezel ring. Sounds kinda dark, don’t it? Maybe that’s why they call it Skywalker, ’cause it’s dark like the night sky.
Well, there you have it. That’s all I know about this CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster Skywalker X-33. It’s a fancy watch for fancy folks, that’s for sure. If you’re into that sort of thing, then go ahead and buy one. Just don’t come askin’ me for the time, ’cause I’ll just point you to the sun.
