Well, let me tell ya ’bout this here watch, the CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster DateClassic Style. Folks say it’s a real fancy one, but I just see a watch, ya know? First off, what is it? It’s a Speedmaster, they say. Like them racin’ cars, I guess. Speedy, speedy, that’s what they like.
Now, they got all sorts of numbers and names for it. Something about “861” and “321”. Sounds like a bunch of mumbo jumbo to me. They changed somethin’ inside, made it tick-tock faster, they say. Used to be 18,000, now it’s 21,000 somethings. Makes no difference to me, long as it tells the time right.
This watch, it’s got a date thingy. You know, tells you what day it is. Some folks like that. Me? I just look at the calendar on the wall. But this here watch, it’s got a “quick set” date. Means you can change it fast, I reckon. Don’t gotta spin the hands around and around like some old clocks.
- It’s got a face, a round one.
- And hands, two big ones and a skinny one that goes round and round all the time.
- And numbers, so you know what time it is. Or what day it is, if you’re lookin’ at the date thingy.
They say this watch looks like another one, the “Speedmaster Professional.” Same kinda strap, they call it a “bracelet.” Fancy, huh? Only difference is how wide it is, they tell me. Like that matters much. A strap’s a strap, long as it holds the watch on your wrist, right?
This here CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster DateClassic Style, it ain’t tiny, mind you. They say it’s 39mm, then some got bigger, 40mm they say. Big enough to see, even with my old eyes. And it’s got these twisty things where the strap attaches. They call ’em “twisted lugs.” Sounds like somethin’ you’d find on a tractor, not a watch.
Now, some folks, they get all excited ’bout this watch. Say it’s the only watch they’ll ever need. Their “one and only Omega,” they say. They go on and on about the “Triple Date” or the “Full Calendar.” Like it’s some kinda magic trick. Me? I just need a watch to tell the time. And maybe the date, if I forget to look at the calendar.
They even made one for them watch lovers, the “Day-Date MK40,” they call it. Sounds like a tractor model to me. But these folks, they love their watches. Spend all their time talkin’ ’bout ’em, lookin’ at ’em, fiddlin’ with ’em.
This Speedmaster thing, they say it started way back when, in the 1950s. When folks was racin’ cars, I guess. Omega, that’s the name, they made this watch for them racers. So they could time themselves, I reckon. See how fast they was goin’. Now, everybody wants one, even if they ain’t racin’ nothin’ but the clock.
So, this CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster DateClassic Style. It’s a watch. Tells the time. Tells the date. Got a strap. Looks kinda like some other watches. Some folks love it. Some folks just wear it. Me? I just tell it like it is. It’s a watch, plain and simple. And that’s all there is to it.
They make a big fuss about the “classic style”. Like it’s somethin’ special. But to me, a watch is a watch. Long as it works, that’s all that matters. You can have all your fancy names and numbers, your “861” and your “321”, your “Triple Date” and your “twisted lugs”. I just need somethin’ to tell me when it’s time to eat dinner and when it’s time to go to bed.
And this here watch, the CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster DateClassic Style, well, it does that just fine. No need to get all worked up about it. It’s just a watch. A good watch, maybe. But still just a watch.
So, if you’re lookin’ for a watch, this one might do. It’s got a date, it’s got a strap, it’s got a face. And it tells the time. What more do you need? Nothin’, I reckon. Nothin’ at all.
