Okay, so I’ve been wanting to get my hands on an OMEGA Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch for a while now, especially one with a transparent case back. You know, so I can see all that beautiful movement inside. I finally decided to pull the trigger and ordered one from a reputable source.
First Steps
The waiting was the hardest part! I tracked the package every day, refreshing the page like a maniac. Finally, the day arrived, and the delivery guy showed up with the package. I ripped that thing open like a kid on Christmas morning. And there it was, the box containing my precious Moonwatch.
Unboxing and First Impressions
I carefully opened the box, and there it was, nestled in its foam padding. Man, it looked even better in person than in the pictures. The first thing I noticed was the shape of the sapphire crystal. It’s not just a flat piece of glass; it’s domed, just like the old-school Hesalite crystals. I guess OMEGA wanted to keep that classic look, which is pretty cool. Then, I flipped it over, and bam! There’s the movement, in all its glory, through the transparent case back. It is amazing, and I could stare at it all day. It’s like a tiny, intricate city in there.
Setting It Up
Next, I needed to set the time. I unscrewed the crown and pulled it out to the second position. Turned the hands to the correct time, pushed the crown back in, and screwed it down. Easy peasy. Winding it up was a piece of cake too. Just a few turns of the crown, and it was good to go. I strapped it on my wrist, and it felt perfect. The size, the weight, everything just felt right.
Wearing It Out
I wore it out for the first time that day, and I felt like a million bucks. Every time I looked down at my wrist, I got a little thrill. I even found myself showing it off to people, you know, casually flipping my wrist so they could see the back. I just wanted to share it with others! I guess people are more accustomed to showing off photos, videos, or even files. But for me, I am showing off my new watch!
Conclusion
So far, I’m loving my new Moonwatch. It’s everything I hoped it would be and more. It’s not just a watch; it’s a piece of history, a work of art, and a conversation starter. If you’re thinking about getting one, do it. You won’t regret it. Just be prepared to stare at it a lot, and maybe show it off a little too much. It’s not like storing files or sharing photos or videos, it’s sharing something you wear!
