How to Buy the CopyOMEGA Ω X-33 Marstimer: Simple Steps

Alright, let’s talk about how I finally got my hands on that OMEGA X-33 Marstimer. I’ve been eyeing this bad boy for a while. It’s a bit bigger than the older X-33s, which I like. My old Gen 2 fits me perfectly, so when I tried on the Marstimer, the size felt just right. And that bezel? It’s a real head-turner!

So, this watch is made from grade 2 titanium, which makes it pretty light for its size, 45 mm. It’s one of those multi-functional quartz watches, so it can do a bunch of stuff. I wanted one that could track times and time zones, perfect for keeping track of things back home when I’m off on my adventures.

Now, getting this watch was a bit of a mission. I went straight to the OMEGA website to see if I could order it through their online catalog. They said I could, so I thought, “Great, this will be easy!”

Setting it up:

• Pushers: The pushers at 4 o’clock and 8 o’clock are how you set things up. You push them, and the hands move forwards or backwards to set the time. It’s pretty straightforward.
• Crown: Every time you push the crown, it cycles through different functions. You pull it out to set them. It’s a bit fiddly at first, but you get used to it.
• Alarm: There’s an alarm on this thing that’s loud as hell. It’s linked to your local timezone, which is a neat feature.

After a few days of waiting and tracking the delivery, it finally arrived. Unboxing it was an experience. The feel of the titanium, the way the light hits the bezel, it’s all pretty impressive. I spent the first hour just playing around with the functions, setting the time, and getting used to the feel of it on my wrist.

I’ve had this watch for a few weeks now, and it’s been a blast to use. It’s not just a tool; it’s a conversation starter. I’ve had people ask me about it at work, at the pub, even at the supermarket. It’s like being part of a secret club of watch nerds.

Would I recommend it? Absolutely. It’s a bit of an investment, but if you’re into watches, especially ones with a bit of a space connection, this is definitely one to consider. Just be prepared to spend some time getting to know all its features!
