Alright, let’s talk about this OMEGA Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch thing I got into. I’ve always been a bit of a watch guy, nothing too fancy, just appreciate a good timepiece, you know? So, I finally decided to take a closer look at this classic – the Moonwatch.
First thing I did was to read up a bit about it online. Turns out, this watch has some serious history. Like, it actually went to the moon back in the day! How cool is that? 1969, that’s the year. I guess that’s why they call it the “Moonwatch.” It felt like I needed to get my hands on it to see what it’s all about.
I started digging around, looking at pictures, reading reviews. People were talking about the “open case back” which I learned lets you see the insides of the watch. Sounds interesting right? I wanted one of those. I guess they don’t all come with that feature.
Then I found out OMEGA updated this watch back in 2021. They put in some new tech, something called a “Master Chronometer.” I don’t really know what that is, but it sounds high-tech, maybe I need to read more about that later. But it seems like it makes the watch even better, more precise or something. I knew I wanted that newer one, not some old dusty thing.
So, I finally made my decision. I ordered the watch, and let me tell you, the waiting was the hardest part. When that box finally arrived, it was like Christmas morning. I carefully opened it up, and there it was – the OMEGA Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch, with that transparent case back I wanted so bad. It looked even better in person. I had to try it on right away, of course.
It felt great on my wrist. Solid, but not too heavy. And that open back, it’s really neat, it’s like a city’s night with all those tiny gears working. You can really see the craftsmanship.
I’ve been wearing it for a few days now, and I’m really digging it. It’s not just a watch; it feels like a piece of history, a bit of that whole moon landing adventure. Plus, it just looks damn good. Here’s a bullet list of my findings:
- I learned about the history of the watch going to the moon.
- I discovered that the “open case back” meant I could see the insides.
- I found out about the 2021 update with the “Master Chronometer.”
- I ordered the watch and waited (im)patiently for it to arrive.
- I finally got the watch, and it was everything I hoped for.
So yeah, that’s my little adventure with the OMEGA Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch. If you’re into watches, or just cool stuff with a story, you should definitely check it out.
