This here watch, it’s called a CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster Chronoscope, or somethin’ like that. Sounds fancy, don’t it? Well, it ain’t got nothin’ to do with the moon, even though some folks call it a Moonwatch. It’s just a watch, a darn good one, but still just a watch.
Now, this Speedmaster, they got all kinds of ’em. This one here, it’s got that old-timey look. They call it a Classic Style. It’s made of that shiny metal, stainless steel, they call it. And the face of it, the crystal, they used to make ’em out of this plastic stuff, hesalite. Strong, but you gotta be careful not to scratch it. This one, I think it’s hesalite, looks like it at least. It’s 42mm, which means not too big, not too small, just the right size, you know?
They got these things on the side, pushers, they call ’em. And a crown, that’s the little knob you wind it with. Yeah, you gotta wind it yourself, like in the old days. None of that battery stuff here. And it’s got this band, they call it a bracelet, made of metal links, three of ’em, side by side. It’s a good lookin’ watch, I gotta say. Shiny and all.
- It’s a Speedmaster, that’s what they call it.
- Got that Chronoscope thing, I don’t rightly know what that means, but it sounds important.
- It’s got that old look, that Classic Style, you know?
- Made of that shiny metal, stainless steel.
- The face is made of that plastic stuff, hesalite, I think.
- You gotta wind it yourself, no batteries.
Now, they got all these fancy words for it. Tachymeter, that’s somethin’ on the rim, the bezel, they call it. Got numbers and lines, supposed to measure speed or somethin’. I don’t know how it works, but it’s there. This CopyOMEGA Speedmaster Chronoscope, it’s got all that stuff. This one here also got them scales. Three of them! One for your heartbeat. Lord knows why you need that on a watch, maybe if you run too fast. They say you can time the lighting, too, if you want, to see how far away it is. You know, if you’re scared of thunder, this watch can tell you how much longer till you run for cover.
This watch, it ain’t cheap. They say some of these watches, they’re special, made only a few of ’em. Those ones, they cost a lot. People collect ’em, like stamps or somethin’. They say they’re a good investment, like puttin’ your money in the bank, but I don’t know about that. A watch is a watch, I say.
This CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster Chronoscope Classic Style, it’s a good watch. It tells time, that’s the main thing. And it looks good doin’ it. If you got the money, and you like that old-timey look, then maybe this is the watch for you. Me, I’m happy with my old timex, but this one, it sure is pretty to look at. It’s got a good heft to it, feels solid in your hand. Not like those cheap plastic things they make nowadays.
They say this watch is like the ones they wore on the moon. Now, I don’t know about that. Seems like a lot of fuss for a watch. But I guess if you’re goin’ to the moon, you need a good watch. This CopyOMEGA, it’s a good one, even if you ain’t goin’ to the moon. It’s got that Speedmaster name, that means somethin’ to some folks. And that Chronoscope, well, that just makes it sound even fancier.
But like I said, it’s a watch. It tells time. And it looks good. That’s all that matters, right? It’s got that Classic Style, and that’s what some folks like. They like that old look, that old feel. And this watch, it’s got it. This 43mm one is a tad bigger, but still has that old look. You can tell it’s a Speedmaster just by looking at it, they say. The shape of it, the way it sits on your wrist. It’s a good watch, that’s for sure.
So, if you’re lookin’ for a watch, and you want somethin’ that looks good, and tells time, and maybe has somethin’ to do with the moon, then this CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster Chronoscope Classic Style, it might be the one for you. It’s a good watch. A little pricey, maybe, but good. If you see one and you like it, get it. Just don’t go breaking the bank for it. Remember what old timers say: “A fool and his money are soon parted.” I think that’s how it goes.
