Alright, let’s talk about this Omega Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch Sapphire, Caliber 3861. I’ve been eyeing this watch for a while, and I finally decided to pull the trigger and get a copy of it.
First off, I started by doing some digging online. I wanted to know everything about this watch, especially since it’s known as the “Moonwatch” and has some history with the Apollo 11 mission. I mean, who wouldn’t want a watch that’s been to the moon, right? Anyway, I found out that the original uses a movement called Caliber 3861, which is an upgrade from the older 1861 version. It’s got this fancy Co-Axial thing that Omega’s been pushing, supposedly making it more accurate and reliable. But let’s be real, I’m not an astronaut, so I’m not sure if I’ll ever need that level of precision. Still, it’s cool to know.
Next, I went on a hunt for a good copy. I checked out a bunch of different places, both online and in person. Some of them looked pretty sketchy, to be honest, but I eventually found one that seemed legit. The watch looked almost identical to the real deal, with the same black dial, the tachymeter bezel, and all the little details. It even had the Omega logo and the “Speedmaster Professional” text on it. I was pretty impressed, I have to say.
- Started researching: Looked up info about the Omega Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch.
- Learned about the movement: Found out it uses Caliber 3861, an upgraded movement with Co-Axial technology.
- Searched for a copy: Checked different sources, both online and physical stores.
- Found a good replica: Located a copy that closely resembled the original watch.
- Examined the details: Noticed the replica had the same dial, bezel, logo, and text as the original.
Once I had the watch in my hands, I started playing around with it. I wound it up, set the time, and started wearing it around. I gotta say, it felt pretty good on my wrist. It’s got a nice weight to it, not too heavy but not flimsy either. The bracelet was comfortable, and the clasp felt secure. I wore it to work, to the grocery store, and even to a couple of social events. I got a few compliments on it, which was nice. Nobody seemed to suspect it was a copy, which is what I was hoping for.
Now, I know some people are against copies, and I get that. But for me, this was a way to experience a watch that I’ve always admired without breaking the bank. I mean, the real Omega Speedmaster is way out of my budget. This copy gave me a taste of what it would be like to own the real thing, and I’m happy with that. Plus, it’s a conversation starter, and I enjoy talking about watches with other people.
Final Thoughts
In the end, I’m glad I got this copy of the Omega Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch. It’s a good-looking watch, it feels good on my wrist, and it’s been fun to wear around. It’s not the real deal, but it’s close enough for me. I can keep an eye on the time like this. If you’re a watch enthusiast on a budget, I’d say give it a shot. Just make sure you do your research and find a reputable source. You might be surprised at how much you enjoy it.
