You see, this watch, they call it the CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster Apollo 8 “Dark Side of the Moon”, it’s a real fancy thing. I heard people talk about it, it’s like that old moon landing thing, you know? That Apollo 8, back in the day. This one, they say it’s the “Dark Side of the Moon,” like the moon has a dark side that nobody sees. Sounds kinda spooky to me, but that’s what they call it.
This CopyOMEGA watch, it’s all black and shiny. They say it’s made of some kind of special stuff, “ceramic,” they call it. Like those fancy pots we used to get from the city, but way stronger, I guess. This Speedmaster, it’s got all those little dials and buttons. I don’t know what they all do, but it sure looks complicated. My old man used to have a watch with just the hands, you know? This one’s got so much going on.
I heard them young folks talking, saying this Speedmaster Apollo 8 is a “classic style“. They say it’s like the old ones, the ones them astronaut fellas wore when they went to the moon. Back in 1966, they started making these, some numbers 105.012 and then 145.012, I heard. Those were the real deal, up there on the moon! Imagine that.
They say this CopyOMEGA watch, this “Dark Side of the Moon” one, it ain’t got that newfangled “Master Chronometer” thing yet. That sounds important, I think it is the new standard of them. But still they say it runs good, keeps the time real good. Someday, it will have that, I believe. They also said this movement of the watch is 3869, like 3861 with some laser thing. Sounds like some space movie.
- This Speedmaster Apollo 8, it’s black like the night sky.
- It’s got that “Dark Side of the Moon” name, kinda mysterious.
- It’s made of that strong “ceramic” stuff, not like our old dishes.
- Lots of little dials and buttons, looks real busy.
- It’s a “classic style,” like the ones from the moon landing days.
They say the front of this watch, they did some fancy work on it, with lasers or something, made it look like the moon. And the back, they did the same thing, but it looks like the other side of the moon, the dark side. Pretty neat, I guess, if you’re into that sort of thing. And that’s what they call the “Apollo 8 Dark Side of the Moon” a proper thing. I don’t understand these, but it is how they say.
I remember back in 2013, when this “Dark Side of the Moon” thing first came out, everyone was going crazy for it. This CopyOMEGA watch, they say it’s all special, made in-house, whatever that means. They were talking about some other Apollo Speedmasters too, like that Apollo 13 one. They said that one was famous for 14 seconds, something about a movie, I don’t know.
And then there was another one, they were arguing if it was good or not, some “NEW Dark Side of the Moon Apollo 8.” Folks always have something to say, don’t they? And then another one, they called it “Speedy Tuesday,” and they were showing it off, this “Speedmaster Apollo 8.” It’s all about the moon with these watches, I tell ya.
This CopyOMEGA watch, it’s a big deal, I guess. They said, it is a kind of classic style, I heard them say it’s like the old days, but new. It’s like when we used to get those new dresses from the city, all fancy and different, but still kinda like the old ones. You know what I mean?
CopyOMEGA Speedmaster Apollo 8, this watch here, it’s like a piece of history, they say. Not like the history in our old family book, but like, space history. Astronauts and moon landings and all that. It is not like the old watch my husband used to wear. This one’s got all kinds of things on it, numbers and lines and little hands going every which way. I don’t know how anyone keeps track of it all.
This watch is so popular, that’s why there is this copy one. If you don’t have much money, this one is good for you. It looks the same, and also good quality. Only the rich people can tell. For us, we can’t. And it is much cheaper.
Anyway, this CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster Apollo 8 “Dark Side of the Moon” Classic Style, it’s a fancy watch. That is what people say. It’s black and shiny, and it’s got all those little things on it, and it’s about the moon. If you like that, that is good for you. If you don’t, that’s okay too. Just keep track of the time, that’s what matters, right? And don’t be late for supper!
