Okay, so I’ve been eyeing this OMEGA Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch for a while now, the one with the open case back. You know, the kind you can see all the guts and gears moving around? Yeah, that one. Finally decided to pull the trigger and go for it. This is how my journey went.
First, I hit up the official OMEGA flagship store. It’s the only place I trust when buying such a precious piece. I mean, we’re talking about an investment here, right? Stepped into the store, and man, it was like watch heaven! Rows and rows of these shiny beauties, but my eyes were set on the Moonwatch.
After expressing my intent, a staff member brought one out for me to try on. This thing is a classic – 42mm, stainless steel, with a bit of 18K Sedna™ Gold to add some bling. It felt amazing on my wrist, not too heavy, not too light, just perfect. I spent a good amount of time just admiring the craftsmanship. The sapphire crystal glass on the front and the back is just the cherry on top.
I got to know it was inspired by the 4th generation Speedmaster, you know, the one that actually went to the moon! They even have “Flight Qualified by NASA for All Manned Space Missions” written on the back. How cool is that? And I hear this watch is well-loved, especially the old and limited edition ones, because they’re rare and get more valuable over time. It’s like having a piece of history right there on my wrist.
I was sold. No turning back. After all, this watch is not something I will wear every day, but a good mix of fancy and practical. Went through the paperwork, swiped my card (ouch, my wallet!), and walked out of there with the biggest grin on my face.
Now, every time I look at this beauty, I can’t help but be mesmerized by the intricate movement inside. It’s like a tiny, well-oiled machine ticking away. I spent ages looking at the open back.
This whole experience was quite a journey. From lusting after the watch online to finally owning it, it’s been a dream come true. If you’re a watch enthusiast, I highly recommend getting your hands on one of these. It’s not just a timepiece; it’s a piece of art, a symbol of history, and a pretty darn good conversation starter!
