Alright, folks, gather ’round. Today, I’m gonna walk you through my little adventure with the Copy OMEGA Speedmaster 310.92.44.50.01.001, also known as the Apollo 8 “Dark Side of the Moon” – Rocket. Yep, that’s a mouthful, but trust me, it’s worth it.
First off, I started digging around online, just to see what this watch was all about. I mean, “Dark Side of the Moon”? Sounds pretty cool, right? Turns out, it’s a tribute to the Apollo 8 mission. That’s some serious history right there. Found some stuff mentioning it’s a pretty awesome special edition Omega made recently, and that it’s got some connection to all six moon landings. Neat!
So, I started hunting for a good copy. Found a few places mentioning deals and new 2024 full sets for around 13. Not bad, not bad. It’s supposed to be 44.25 mm, which is a decent size. Not too big, not too small.
I finally got my hands on one. This thing is… well, it’s something else. The black design, the craftsmanship… it’s got that whole “space” vibe going on, which I dig. It’s a manual wind, which is kind of old-school, but hey, I like it. It feels solid, you know? Like it can handle a trip to the moon, even though it’ll probably just be sitting on my wrist.
Putting it on
I strapped it on and honestly, it felt great. The size was just right for my wrist. The yellow accents really pop against the black. It’s a good-looking watch. I’ve been wearing it around for a couple of days now, and I’ve gotten a few compliments. People are definitely noticing it.
Showing it off
Of course, I had to show it off to my buddies. Most of them thought it was really cool. Some folks are into watches more, and they asked a lot of questions about it that I can’t answer, lol. But, they’re all impressed that it’s a copy of a special edition.
Final Thoughts
- Look and Feel: This watch looks and feels premium. The black ceramic case is slick, and the yellow details are a nice touch.
- Size: At 44.25 mm, it’s a good size for most wrists. It doesn’t feel too bulky or too dainty.
- Movement: It’s a manual wind, which might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but it adds to the watch’s charm.
- Overall: I’m happy with this copy. It’s a great conversation starter, and it’s a nice addition to my collection. If you’re into space and watches, this is definitely one to check out.
So, there you have it. My little journey with the Copy OMEGA Speedmaster Apollo 8. It’s been fun, and I’m looking forward to wearing this bad boy for a long time. If any of you have any experiences with this watch, or any other cool watches, feel free to share! I’m always up for a good watch story.
