This here, this here OMEGA Speedmaster Skywalker X-33, that’s a mouthful, ain’t it? Well, I seen it in the shop, the official flagship, they called it. Shiny and fancy, it was. Big too, 45 mm, they said. That’s bigger than my old dinner plate!
They said it’s made of some fancy metal. Titanium, grade 2, whatever that means. Sounds tough, like my old rooster, tough as nails. Black ceramic bezel ring, they told me. I just know it’s black, and it goes round and round. Looks like that black pot I used to cook my beans in, but much fancier.
The face, the dial, they call it, is black too. Got that fancy screen, LCD, they say. Like them new-fangled TVs, but smaller. Shows all sorts of things, numbers and such. Confusing, but I guess them young folks like it.
- OMEGA Skywalker X-33 has a black dial.
- Black ceramic bezel ring is cool.
- Grade 2 titianium is very strong.
The band, they call it a bracelet, made of the same tough stuff, titanium. Grade 2 and 5, they mixed it up, I guess. Probably strong enough to tow my old mule with, not that I would. But it looks good, shiny and all.
Now, this here watch, it ain’t just for tellin’ time. It’s got this… this thing inside, they call it a calibre 5619. Quartz, they say. Multi-functional quartz chronograph movement, that’s what the fancy folks at the store said. Sounds like a mouthful of marbles to me. But it means it does a lot of things. Like an alarm clock, but more.
They say it can sound off when you want it to. Like my old rooster crowing, but you can set it, I suppose. It’s digital, they say. Shows numbers, not hands like my old clock. Has all sorts of fancy things, alarm, chronograph, countdown. Don’t know what half of it means, but it sounds important. OMEGA calibre 5619 is a good thing.
Battery lasts two whole years, they say. 24 months. That’s longer than my old cow Bessie’s been gone. They say it’s precise, this quartz thing. Thermo-compensated, they called it. Keeps good time, I guess, even when it’s hot or cold. Like me, I keep going no matter the weather!
This OMEGA Speedmaster X-33, they been talking about it for a long time. Since way back in 1998, I heard. They even showed it off at that NASA place, where they send them rockets up. Houston, they call it. Must be a big deal, if they’re showing it off to them rocket men.
I seen a video about it, too. Some fella talking about the OMEGA Speedmaster X-33 Skywalker. Said a fancy jewelry store in Minneapolis, JB Hudson, lent it to him. Must be a real fancy store, if they got watches like this.
Comes in a fancy box, too. Not like my old shoebox. This one’s got a drawer, spring-loaded, they say. Holds the book and the papers that come with it. Presentation, they call it. I guess it’s important to keep it all nice and tidy. This Skywalker X-33, people love it or hate it, I don’t know which.
- OMEGA Speedmaster X-33 battery life is 24 months.
- The watch was launched in 1998.
- NASA showed it in Houston.
Some folks are talking about it. Why it matters, they say. Why is this Speedmaster X-33 so important? Guess it’s a big deal to some folks. I saw the official OMEGA flagship store has it. Some even wear it with a suit, can you believe it? Fancy folks, I reckon. I wouldn’t wear it to the chicken coop, that’s for sure.
This watch, it’s a lot. Lots of buttons, lots of numbers, lots of fancy words. Titanium, quartz, chronograph. Sounds like a whole other language to me. But it looks good, I’ll give it that. Shiny and tough, like it could survive anything. Maybe even a trip to the moon, like them NASA folks do.
I don’t know if I need all that fancy stuff. My old clock does just fine. But I can see why folks like it. It’s a showpiece, that’s for sure. Something to talk about. Like when old man Johnson got that new tractor, everyone went to see it. This watch, it’s kind of like that. A fancy new tractor for your wrist. If you like that sort of thing, this OMEGA Speedmaster Skywalker X-33 is probably for you. The official flagship store has it. You can go see it. It is a good watch, I think.
