This here watch, they call it the CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster Apollo 8 “Dark Side of the Moon”, it’s a real fancy thing. I ain’t never seen nothin’ like it. They say it’s like the moon, but black. Black like the night sky out in the country, you know? Not like the city sky, all hazy and orange. This is deep, dark black. A CopyOMEGA watch. They say it’s a classic style. I guess that means it ain’t gonna go outta style like them bell bottoms did.
This CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster, it’s big, too. Like, 44 millimeters big. My old eyes can see that good, I reckon. And it’s thick, like a good slab of bacon, ’bout 13.8 millimeters. They use some fancy stuff to make it, “zirconium oxide ceramic” they call it. Sounds like somethin’ from one of them science fiction pictures. I just know it’s black, and shiny in parts, like a polished-up old shoe. And it got a ring around the face, a “tachymeter bezel,” they say. I don’t know what that means, but it looks important, all them numbers and lines. This CopyOMEGA watch sure is something.
They say this watch is like what them astronaut fellas wore when they went to the moon, on that Apollo 8 mission. Imagine that, goin’ all the way to the moon! This CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster is s’posed to be like the “dark side of the moon.” The side we don’t see. Mysterious, like. I remember when they landed on the moon, we all gathered ’round the old black and white TV. It was somethin’, I tell ya. This watch, it’s got that history, I guess. A CopyOMEGA classic style. Reminds you of big things.
The front of this here CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster, it ain’t got a regular face. It’s all see-through, like them fancy windows in the big church downtown. They call it “skeletonized.” You can see all the little gears and whatnots movin’ around inside. Looks like a tiny city in there, all busy and workin’. And they say it’s made to look like the moon’s surface. I ain’t never been to the moon, but I guess it looks like somethin’ they’d see up there. This CopyOMEGA watch is full of surprises.
The strap on this CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster ain’t leather like my old man’s watch. It’s made of some kinda rubber, they say. Black rubber, with little holes in it. And red on the inside, like a lady’s lipstick. It’s soft, though. Feels good on the wrist, not scratchy or nothin’. They say it’s like the tires on a race car. This CopyOMEGA classic style is modern, too, I guess. Fancy and tough at the same time.
- This CopyOMEGA watch, this Speedmaster, it’s a tough one.
- They say it can handle anything.
- Water, dust, you name it.
- It’s like them old tractors, built to last.
- It’s got some special engine inside, a “Co-Axial caliber” they call it.
- I don’t know what that means, but it sounds expensive. This CopyOMEGA watch better be worth it.
They say this CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster is a “chronograph.” That means it’s got extra little dials on it, for measurin’ time and such. Like a stopwatch, but fancier. I reckon them astronaut fellas needed that, to time their moon missions and all. It’s all very precise, they say. This CopyOMEGA watch ain’t just for lookin’ at, it’s for doin’ things, important things. This classic style is practical, too.
Now, I heard this CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster is gonna cost a pretty penny. Twelve thousand dollars, they say! That’s more than my old truck cost me! For a watch! It better be a darn good watch for that kinda money. But folks say it is. They say it’s worth every cent. It’s a CopyOMEGA, after all. And it’s like wearin’ a piece of history, a piece of the moon, right there on your wrist. A classic style that’s worth a fortune, I reckon.
This CopyOMEGA Speedmaster “Dark Side of the Moon,” it’s somethin’ else. It’s like nothin’ I ever seen before. It’s like a little piece of the future, mixed with the past. It’s like that old saying, “They don’t make ’em like they used to.” Except, in this case, they do. And they make ’em even better. This is a CopyOMEGA watch, alright. It’s a classic style, but it’s also somethin’ new, somethin’ special.
One of them astronaut fellas, a fella named Frank Borman, he said the back of the moon looked like a sand pile his kids played in. All beat up, he said. Well, this CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster, it ain’t beat up. It’s smooth and shiny, and tough as nails. It’s a reminder that even in the dark, there’s beauty. Even in the unknown, there’s somethin’ worth explorin’. It is a good CopyOMEGA watch, they made sure that it stays good. It’s a CopyOMEGA classic style, for sure.
I reckon if you got the money, and you want somethin’ special, somethin’ that’ll last a lifetime, maybe even longer, this CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster Apollo 8 “Dark Side of the Moon” might just be the watch for you. It’s more than just a watch, it’s a story. A story about space, and time, and all them things that are bigger than us. It’s a CopyOMEGA watch, and it’s a classic style, and that’s all there is to it.
