Alright, folks, gather around. I’ve got something pretty cool to share with you all today. It’s about the OMEGA Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch, the sapphire version, straight from the official flagship store. Yeah, you heard that right.
So, here’s the deal. I’ve always been a bit of a watch guy, and the Moonwatch has always been on my radar. I mean, it’s a classic, right? So I decided it was time to pull the trigger and get one. I started by searching for this watch. It was not easy, by the way. I found that it has a black dial and small seconds sub-dial. That was so cool! Then I decided to go straight to the source – the OMEGA official flagship store.
Walking into the store was an experience in itself. All those shiny watches, it felt like a kid in a candy store. The staff, they were super helpful. They showed me the Moonwatch, and man, it was love at first sight.
I went with the sapphire crystal version. Why? Well, the hesalite is the classic one, yeah, but I’m all about that scratch resistance. Plus, the sapphire one has that clear caseback. Being able to see the movement ticking away inside? That’s just awesome. It’s powered by the Omega Calibre 321 movement. That name Albert Piguet of Lemania sounds good to me. It seems this guy developed the movement in 1946. The case diameter is 42mm but it wears smaller on my wrist. That was perfect!
- Choosing the Sapphire Version: I opted for sapphire because I wanted that extra durability.
- Seeing the Movement: That clear caseback was a major selling point. The movement inside is a piece of art.
- Handling the Purchase: They made the whole buying process smooth as butter.
Paying for it, yeah, that stings a little. But hey, you’re not just buying a watch; you’re buying a piece of history. And let me tell you, wearing this thing on my wrist feels amazing. It’s not just a timepiece; it’s a conversation starter. I also found that you can buy this watch from some online shop or marketplace, the price varies from $5 to over $27K. Some new models are sold at $7 or $6. It depends on the material, like ceramic, gold and platinum. But I don’t think I can trust them. After all, who can make sure that they are real?
I’ve been wearing it every day since I got it. To work, to the grocery store, even just lounging around the house. It’s comfortable, it’s stylish, and it’s got that cool factor that just makes you feel good.
The Aftermath
Getting this watch from the official store was definitely the right move. I’ve heard some stories about people buying luxury watches from other places and ending up with fakes or having problems with warranties. I didn’t want to deal with any of that. The Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch Moonphase is available in ceramic, gold, and platinum. One example is the Sedna gold ref. 304.63.44.52.01.001 on a brown leather strap. That was so cool!
So, if you’re thinking about getting a Moonwatch, my advice? Go for it. And if you can, get it from the official store. You won’t regret it.
That’s my story, folks. Hope you enjoyed it. Until next time, stay curious and keep exploring!
