Okay, folks, let’s talk about this watch I recently got my hands on. It’s the OMEGA Speedmaster 310.92.44.50.01.001, also known as the Apollo 8 “Dark Side of the Moon” – Rocket. You know, the one that celebrates the Apollo 8 mission’s 50th anniversary. It’s a pretty big deal in space exploration history, and this watch really captures that vibe.
First off, I started by doing some digging online. I wanted to see what all the fuss was about with this particular model. I mean, it’s an OMEGA Speedmaster, so you know it’s going to be quality, but I wanted the specifics. I browsed through a bunch of forums, watched some videos, you know, the usual routine when you’re about to drop some serious cash on a timepiece. You can never be too careful, right?
Then, I found it. This is the OMEGA Speedmaster 310.92.44.50.01.001. I fell in love with it at first glance. What can I say? I was impressed. I was hooked and ordered it!
After receiving the watch, I started to put it on my wrist. Here’s what I did:
- First, I made sure the watch was the right size for my wrist. This one has a 44.25mm case, which is a good size for me, it is a little heavy but it is OK for me.
- Then, I wound the watch. It’s a manual wind, so you gotta give it a few turns to get it going. I kind of like that, it feels more connected to the watch.
- Next, I set the time. This was pretty straightforward, just pull out the crown and turn. It is very smooth.
- Finally, I strapped it on. The black leather strap is super comfortable.
Then I wore this watch to show it off to my friends. After all, this is a limited edition watch, only a few people in the world have it.
After a few days of wearing it, I’ve got to say, I’m really digging this watch. It’s got that classic Speedmaster look, but with a modern twist. The “Dark Side of the Moon” design is just stunning. It’s a real conversation starter, that’s for sure. Every time I wear it, I’m reminded of that incredible Apollo 8 mission. It is like you can feel the history on your wrist.
And now? I just check the time more often than before. This watch makes me happy. It’s like I made a great deal. I will keep wearing this watch until I get bored with it. I can’t wait to share more stories with you guys in the future.
