Okay, so, I got this new watch. It’s an OMEGA, the Speedmaster Super Racing. Yeah, you heard that right, Super Racing. I’ve been eyeing this baby for a while now, and finally, I pulled the trigger and bought it.
First off, I did a little digging online. I read somewhere that Speedmasters hold their value pretty well, especially the old ones and the limited editions. Apparently, they even go up in price because they’re rare and a lot of people want them. Then I saw that they will help me check if my watch is the real deal by looking at the serial number. It’s not a sure thing, but it’s a good sign. This one, the Super Racing, is supposed to be a real collector’s item.
I started by visiting the official OMEGA website. It’s all fancy and has all the details about the watch, like the Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 9920 and the whole Spirate system thingy. I even went to a local OMEGA store to check it out in person. Man, it looked even better in real life.
I heard that this watch is kind of a tribute to another OMEGA watch, the Aqua Terra 15, celebrating its 10th anniversary. It’s got this racetrack vibe, you know, ’cause it’s called “Super Racing.” But it’s also got some history with space exploration, which is pretty cool, I guess.
So, after weeks of looking at pictures and reading stuff online, I finally decided to buy it. I ordered it online, and let me tell you, waiting for it to arrive was a pain. Every day felt like forever. I kept refreshing the tracking page, hoping it would magically arrive faster.
And then, one glorious morning, it arrived. I ripped open the box like a kid on Christmas morning. And there it was, the Speedmaster Super Racing, in all its glory. I strapped it on my wrist, and it felt amazing. It’s got some weight to it, but not too much. Just enough to feel substantial, you know?
I’ve been wearing it for a few days now, and I’m loving it. It’s a conversation starter, for sure. People keep asking me about it, and I get to tell them all about its cool features and the whole racing and space connection. It’s like having a piece of history on my wrist.
Here are a few things I noticed:
- The look: It’s got this classic, sporty look that I really like. It’s not too flashy, but it definitely gets noticed.
- The feel: Like I said, it feels great on the wrist. It’s comfortable to wear all day long.
- The accuracy: This thing is super accurate. I haven’t had to adjust it at all since I got it.
Anyway, I just wanted to share my experience with you guys. If you’re thinking about getting a new watch, you should definitely check out the OMEGA Speedmaster Super Racing. It’s a bit pricey, but in my opinion, it’s totally worth it.
