Man, I’ve been into watches for a while now, and let me tell you, the OMEGA Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch has always been on my radar. It’s just such a classic, you know? I finally pulled the trigger and got one with a transparent case back, and I’m gonna walk you through the whole process of how it all went down.
So, first off, I did some digging. Turns out the Speedmaster was the watch worn on the Moon during the Apollo missions back in the ’60s. How cool is that? It’s like having a piece of history right on your wrist! I started looking into the different models and found out that the ones actually worn on the Moon were the 105.012 and 145.012 references. They were used throughout the Apollo program and became kind of a big deal.
Now, I wanted something a bit more special, so I went for the one with a see-through back. I just love being able to see the movement ticking away inside. It’s like a little mechanical city in there. The specific model I got is based on the 4th generation Speedmaster, which was also worn on the Moon, so it’s got that classic vibe. It’s got a 42 mm case, which is a good size, not too big, not too small. Looks good on my wrist.
Ordering it was a breeze. I found a good deal online. The watch arrived, and I was like a kid on Christmas morning. Tore open the box, and there it was, in all its glory. I spent a good chunk of time just staring at it. Removed the back sticker very carefully. It’s a beautiful watch, but the real magic is on the back. The movement is just mesmerizing. The finishing is top-notch. I couldn’t stop looking at it.
- Carefully examined every inch of the watch.
- Tried it on, adjusted the bracelet.
- Took a bunch of pictures from every angle.
- Spent hours just admiring the craftsmanship.
I’ve been wearing it every day since. It’s gotten a lot of compliments. People are always asking about it. And every time I look down, I get a little thrill knowing I’m wearing a piece of history. Plus, it’s just a really well-made watch. Keeps perfect time, and it’s comfortable to wear. Apparently, these Speedmasters hold their value pretty well, especially the older ones and limited editions. So, it’s not just a cool watch, but it might be a decent investment too. Who knows?
It’s More Than Just a Watch
It’s a conversation starter. It’s a connection to a pivotal moment in human history. And it’s a reminder of the incredible things we can achieve. It was an exciting experience for me, and I wanted to share every bit of it with you guys. Hope you enjoyed my little journey into the world of the OMEGA Speedmaster Moonwatch!
