Alright, so I’ve been messing around with the OMEGA Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch lately, the one with the Sapphire crystal. Let me tell you, it’s a pretty sweet piece of hardware.
First off, I went ahead and ordered it. I mean, who wouldn’t want a Moonwatch, right? It’s got that classic look that just screams “space explorer.” Anyway, I got the one with the Sapphire crystal because, you know, gotta have that scratch resistance.
Unboxing and First Impressions
When the box finally came, it was like Christmas morning. I tore into that thing and there it was, the Speedmaster in all its glory. The first thing I did was wind it up – it’s a manual wind, which is kinda cool in this day and age. Feels old-school, you know?
Wearing It Around
- I started wearing it everywhere. To the grocery store, to work, even just chilling at home. I wanted to see how it felt as an everyday watch. And honestly, it’s pretty darn comfortable.
- The strap it came with was nice, but I swapped it out for a leather one I had lying around. Just to change things up a bit, give it a more personal touch.
Checking the Accuracy
I’m a bit of a stickler for accuracy, so I started timing it against my phone. Over a few days, it was gaining a few seconds here and there. Nothing major, but it’s not as spot-on as some of those fancy Rolexes. Still, it’s a COSC certified chronometer, so I guess that’s expected.
Showing It Off
Of course, I had to show it off to my buddies. Most of them were like, “Cool watch, man.” But one of my friends, he’s a real watch nerd, he started going on about the history of the Moonwatch and how this new one has the 3861 movement and all that. I just nodded along, pretending I knew what he was talking about.
Final Thoughts
After wearing it for a while, I gotta say, I’m digging it. It’s a solid watch. Looks good, feels good, and it’s got that whole Moonwatch heritage thing going for it. Plus, I found out it holds its value pretty well. Might even go up in price over time. Who knows? Maybe I’ll sell it someday and make a few bucks. Or maybe I’ll just keep it forever. It’s that kind of watch. It is a good investment. It’s not just a watch; it’s a conversation starter, a piece of history on your wrist. I guess that’s what makes it so special. That is what I did.
