Okay, so I’ve been eyeing the OMEGA Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch for a while now. You know, the one with the transparent case back? Yeah, that beauty. Finally, I decided to go for it.
I started by doing some digging online, reading reviews and all that jazz. I mean, this watch has some serious history, right? It’s not just any watch; it’s the Moonwatch! I found out that since its debut, this thing has only gotten better. More accurate, more robust, thanks to the Master Chronometer-certified caliber 3861 movement.
Now, I’m not gonna lie, dropping that kind of money on a watch made me think twice. But then I saw someone mention that these Speedmasters hold their value pretty well. Especially the vintage and limited editions, which, get this, can actually go up in value. A Speedy bought not too long ago had already increased by over 10% in just 18 months. Crazy, right? That’s better than some of my other investments!
So, with that in mind, I took the plunge and ordered the watch from the official channel. They say you can see right through to the movement and admire all the intricate details. This model is manual-wind, just like the original worn on the Moon, and it’s got that classic black dial.
The day the package arrived, I was like a kid on Christmas morning. Unboxing it was an experience in itself. And there it was, even more stunning in person. I immediately wound it up and put it on. It felt substantial, but not too heavy. And the transparent case back? Just wow. You could spend hours just staring at the movement.
- First Impressions: Solid, beautiful, and feels like a piece of history on my wrist.
- Wearing It: Comfortable for daily wear, and it’s a conversation starter for sure.
- That Case Back: Seriously, it’s mesmerizing. I find myself taking it off just to look at the back.
I’ve been wearing it for a few weeks now, and I’ve got to say, I’m in love. It’s not just a watch; it’s a piece of history, a feat of engineering, and a pretty solid investment, all rolled into one. Plus, it looks damn good with pretty much anything I wear.
Final Thoughts
Getting this OMEGA Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch with the transparent case back was definitely a splurge, but one I don’t regret. It’s a timeless piece that I can see myself wearing for years to come and maybe, just maybe, passing down someday. If you’re on the fence about getting one, I’d say go for it. You won’t be disappointed.
