This here OMEGA, they call it Speedmaster Chronoscope, I reckon. Sounds fancy, don’t it? Like some kinda space thing. Well, I ain’t never been to space, but I seen pictures. This watch, it’s got all them little dials and numbers. More numbers than I got on my old kitchen clock.
They say it’s a chronograph. Big word, that. Means it can time stuff. Like when I’m bakin’ my apple pie. Gotta time it just right, or it’ll burn. This here OMEGA Speedmaster Chronoscope, it can probably time how long it takes a chicken to lay an egg, or how long it takes for that old tractor to get from here to the back field.
They got different kinds, too. This one fella, he told me about a Moonwatch. Said astronauts wore it to the moon. Now, ain’t that somethin’? Imagine that, a watch on the moon! This Speedmaster Chronoscope, it ain’t no Moonwatch, but it’s still somethin’ special, I guess. This watch is all about keepin’ time, yeah, keepin’ time.
And then there’s these Co-Axial ones. That’s another one of them big words. Don’t rightly know what it means. Some fancy way the watch works, I suppose. Like the insides of that old cuckoo clock my grandpa had. All them gears and springs, tickin’ away. Keeps better time than my old rooster, that’s for sure. This OMEGA Speedmaster Chronoscope probably got one of them Co-Axial things in it, makin’ it tick real good. Co-Axial make it a good chronograph.
There’s another one called Dark Side of the Moon. Lordy, that sounds spooky. Like somethin’ out of one of them horror picture shows. Probably all black and such. This OMEGA Speedmaster Chronoscope, it ain’t that one either. It’s got a shiny face, kinda like a mirror. Can see my reflection in it, almost.
- This watch, it’s for them pilot fellas, I hear.
- They use it to figure out how fast they’re goin’, how far they’ve gone.
- Important stuff, if you’re flyin’ one of them airplanes.
- Don’t want to get lost up there, now do ya?
- This OMEGA Speedmaster Chronoscope can do all that, they say.
And them doctor folks use ’em, too. To check your heartbeat. See if your ticker’s tickin’ right. My old ticker ain’t what it used to be. But this here chronograph, it could probably tell me if it’s about to give out on me. Hope not, though. Still got plenty of livin’ to do. This OMEGA Speedmaster Chronoscope, it can probably do that, too. Check your heart and such. Keep track of all the important stuff.
This one fella, he was tellin’ me about the numbers inside this here OMEGA Speedmaster Chronoscope. He said one of ’em is 3861. Don’t know what that means. Probably somethin’ important. And another one is 8800. Sounds like a lot of somethin’. He said they “beat” at different speeds. Like a drum, I reckon. One beats faster than the other. And they got this “power reserve” thing. Like savin’ up your energy for a rainy day. This watch, it can go for 50 hours, or 55 hours, without stoppin’. That’s a long time. Longer than I can go without a nap these days. I think chronograph is good.
And they’re resistant to magnets. Now, ain’t that somethin’? Don’t rightly know why a watch needs to be resistant to magnets. Maybe it’s for them space fellas again. Lots of magnets up there in space, I suppose. This OMEGA Speedmaster Chronoscope, it can handle all them magnets, no problem. 15,000 gauss, they say. Don’t know what a gauss is, but it sounds like a lot.
This here watch, it’s a real piece of work. Lots of little parts, all workin’ together. Like a well-oiled machine. Or a good pot of stew, simmerin’ on the stove. Everything’s gotta be just right. This OMEGA Speedmaster Chronoscope, it’s like that. Everything’s just right. Keeps perfect time, they say. Better than my old grandfather clock, that’s for darn sure. It is a good chronograph.
So, if you need to time somethin’, or check your heartbeat, or fly to the moon, this here OMEGA Speedmaster Chronoscope might just be the watch for you. It’s a fancy thing, that’s for sure. More fancy than anythin’ I ever owned. But it sure does look nice, shinin’ there in the light. Like a little piece of the future, right here on your wrist. Moonwatch is good, this chronograph is also good.
