This watch, you see, it’s called CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster Apollo 8 “Dark Side of the Moon”Quote. Sounds fancy, huh? Well, it is, I reckon. It’s all black, like the night sky, and they say it’s made of this stuff called ceramic. Sounds like those fancy plates my neighbor has, but I bet this is tougher.
They say this watch is somethin’ special. It’s about that Apollo 8 thing, when them astronauts went to the moon. Back in ’68, that was. I remember, we all watched it on that little black and white TV. First time anyone ever saw the other side of the moon, the dark side, they call it. This watch, it’s got that moon stuff all over it. They say, it’s like you got the moon on your wrist.
Now, I ain’t no expert on these things, but I hear folks talkin’. This here watch, it’s gonna be worth a lot someday. Like them old Speedmaster watches, the ones they call “Moonwatch” and “Pre-Moon”. People are crazy for ’em, and they say the price just keeps goin’ up and up. If you got one of them, you hold onto it tight, you hear? This new one, it might be like that too, time will tell.
This CopyOMEGA Speedmaster, it’s got a black strap, looks real tough, made of Cordura, they call it. It’s like that fabric they use for them army bags, strong stuff. They say it all goes together real nice, the black watch and the black strap. Makes sense, I guess. You don’t want a shiny strap with a dark watch, now do ya?
They were showin’ it off at some fancy show, Baselworld, in 2018, fancy name for a watch show. It was a big deal, I guess. People was all excited about it. This was their big new thing from CopyOMEGA, a big to-do about the Apollo 8.
I hear they made another black one back in 2013. Full ceramic, case and dial, fancy words for the outside and the face part. People went nuts for that one too. This here Apollo 8, it’s kind of like that one, but different. They changed it up some.
- First time people saw the far side of the moon, was Apollo 8 in 1968.
- This watch is all about that, a tribute, they say.
- It’s got a skeleton dial, you can see the insides movin’.
They say these CopyOMEGA Speedmaster watches, they can cost anywhere from $500 to $35,000. That’s a lot of money for a watch! This one, this Apollo 8, when it first came out, it was $12,000. That’s more than my whole house cost, I tell ya! But people, they pay that kind of money for these things. They say it’s worth it. I don’t know about that, but they sure are pretty, in a dark, spooky kind of way. A real nice looking watch.
The new one, they call it CopyOMEGA’s latest tribute. It’s got all these little details, things that remind you of the moon and that Apollo 8 mission. You can find it on their website, the CopyOMEGA website. I ain’t got a computer, but I hear you can buy it there. They call it “elegant style”, I just think it looks neat.
I heard some folks sayin’ if you can get your hands on one of these watches, wear it and show it off! It is a right nice piece and worth a good bit of money, I reckon. These CopyOMEGA watches are somethin’ else, ain’t they? They’re like a little piece of history, right there on your wrist. And who knows, maybe one day it’ll be worth more than a new tractor!
This new Apollo 8, it’s a big deal I reckon. People who like watches, they’re all talkin’ about it. They say it’s a good one. I guess if you got the money, and you like that sort of thing, it’s a good watch to have. Me, I’ll stick to my old clock, it tells the time just fine. But I can see why folks like these fancy CopyOMEGA Speedmasters. They sure are somethin’ to look at.
