Well, let me tell ya ’bout this here watch, the CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster Apollo 8 “Dark Side of the Moon.” It’s a real fancy lookin’ thing, but don’t go thinkin’ I know all them fancy watch words. I just see it like it is, ya know?
This here watch is all about that time them fellas went flyin’ to the moon. Back in ’68, they say, some fellas went up in a rocket and saw the back side of the moon for the very first time. Imagine that! Never been done before. They say one of ’em, a fella named Anders, said it looked like somethin’ his kids had been playin’ in, all beat up and bumpy. Sounds ’bout right, kids can make a mess of anythin’.
Now, this watch, it’s got somethin’ to do with that moon trip. They call it “Dark Side of the Moon” ’cause, well, it’s all black and shiny like that side of the moon they saw. It’s made of some kinda fancy stuff they call ceramic, and let me tell ya, it feels real smooth and cool to the touch. Not like them old tin watches my grandpa used to have.
They say this watch came out in 2018, to celebrate 50 years since them fellas went to the moon. Fifty years! That’s a long time, longer than I’ve been milkin’ cows, that’s for sure. And folks seem to like it a lot. They say it’s “coveted,” which I reckon means folks want it real bad. Can’t say I blame ’em, it’s a purdy thing.
- It’s big, too. Bigger than my thumb, that’s for sure. They say it’s 44.25 millimeters, but I don’t know what that means. All I know is it’s got a big ol’ face and you can see all the gears and stuff inside. Like lookin’ into a little machine.
- And the color, that black ceramic, it’s somethin’ else. Not shiny like a new car, but more like…well, like a smooth, dark rock you’d find in a creek bed. Real nice, real classy.
- And them hands, they move real smooth. Not like my old clock on the wall that ticks and tocks all day. This one just glides around, like it’s on ice.
Now, they made a bunch of these “Dark Side of the Moon” watches, I hear. But this Apollo 8 one, it’s special. ‘Cause it’s got that moon story tied to it. And let me tell ya, people like a good story. Makes things more interesting, ya know?
I saw some pictures of an older version of this watch, and this new one looks a little different. But they both got that same black color and that big ol’ size. Seems like they keep the good parts the same, which is smart if you ask me. Don’t fix what ain’t broken, that’s what I always say.
This watch ain’t just for tellin’ time, see. It’s for rememberin’. Rememberin’ them fellas who went to the moon, rememberin’ that time they saw somethin’ nobody had ever seen before. And I reckon that’s somethin’ special.
Some folks, they get all caught up in the details. They talk about “chronographs” and “skeletonized dials” and all sorts of fancy words. But me? I just see a well-made watch that looks good and reminds me of a big moment in history. And that’s enough for me.
If you’re lookin’ for a watch that’s more than just a time-teller, this here CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster Apollo 8 “Dark Side of the Moon” might be just the ticket. It’s got style, it’s got history, and it’s got that somethin’ special that makes people want it. Just don’t go askin’ me all them fancy watch words, ’cause I’ll just tell ya it’s a darn good lookin’ watch with a good story to boot.
So, there you have it. My take on this here moon watch. It’s fancy, it’s got history, and it’s black as night. What more could ya want? Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go check on them chickens.
