Today I’m gonna talk about how I got my hands on a CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch Sapphire – Cal.3861. Man, was it a ride!
First off, I started by doing some digging online, reading everything I could about the Speedmaster. You know, the usual stuff. I learned that this bad boy, the Cal. 3861, is Master Chronometer-certified. I read it’s accurate to within 0/+5 seconds per day. Pretty impressive, right? Then I found out it can resist magnetic fields of up to 15,000 gauss, and it’s more shock-resistant than the older 1861 model. Plus, the power reserve got a two-hour bump. It seemed like a winner.
Then I started looking into the whole value retention thing, and it seems like Omega watches, especially the Speedmaster, Seamaster, and Constellation lines, hold their value pretty well. They’ve got a solid reputation, and both collectors and regular folks are into them. I even read some comments from website, I can’t remember, that they have over 2763 reviews. I thought, “Okay, this is good to know.”
But the real kicker for me was the history. I mean, the Speedmaster’s big moment was during the Apollo missions. Buzz Aldrin wore one when he stepped onto the moon on July 21, 1969. How cool is that?
So, I was sold. I started hunting for a copy. With so much positive Speedmaster energy in the air, I knew I had to get one.
After a while, I finally found one that looked legit and the price was right. Pulled the trigger and ordered it.
When it finally arrived, I was like a kid on Christmas morning. Ripped open that package and there it was. Shiny, new, and looking just like the real deal. The cal. 3861 is essentially the original Moonwatch calibre enhanced with a Co-Axial escapement. And that Sapphire crystal, man, it’s crystal clear!
I’ve been wearing it for a few weeks now, and I gotta say, I’m loving it. It’s comfortable, it looks great, and it keeps time like a champ. Plus, every time I look at it, I think about the moon landing.
Here’s the breakdown:
- Research: Dove deep into the specs and history of the Speedmaster.
- Value Check: Made sure it was a good investment.
- History Lesson: Got hyped about the Apollo connection.
- The Hunt: Searched high and low for a good copy.
- The Score: Finally found one and ordered it.

All in all, getting this CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch Sapphire – Cal.3861 has been a blast. It’s more than just a watch; it’s a piece of history, and now I get to wear it on my wrist. Pretty sweet, huh?
