Okay, so, today I wanted to talk about something that’s been on my wrist for a while now – the OMEGA Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch, the one with the sapphire crystal. I’ve been into watches for a long time, and this one, man, it’s a whole different beast.
First off, I started looking into this watch because, well, it’s the Moonwatch! I mean, come on, it’s the watch that went to the moon! It’s got history, it’s got that cool factor, and I had to have it. I did some digging, reading up on forums, watching those YouTube videos, you know, the usual. It was not easy to find one, so many fakes and you know what. I had to be very careful. Eventually, I found a store that had some in stock.
I went to the physical store. It was not as crowded as I thought. They brought me the watch and a black box and I was like, damn, this is it.
After I got it, the first thing I did was, obviously, try it on. It’s a 42mm case, but honestly, it feels smaller. I read somewhere that it’s because the bezel is actually under 40mm. Whatever it is, it fits great on my wrist. It’s not too flashy, which is perfect for me. And the sapphire crystal, it’s super clear. It is also water-resistant to 50 m, just like what I researched.
I wore it every day. To work, to hang out, even did some light swimming with it. It held up perfectly. No issues with water or anything. I was a bit worried about scratching the crystal, but so far, so good. And seeing people look at it on the street is like an inner satisfaction, ngl.
What I Really Like:
- The History: Knowing it’s the same model that went to the moon, that’s just cool. It’s not just about telling time, it’s about being part of history in a way.
- The Look: It’s simple but classy. I can wear it with anything. It’s a statement piece but not in an obnoxious way. It doesn’t scream for attention, but when people notice it, they notice it.
- The Feel: It’s comfortable to wear all day. And winding it, there’s something satisfying about that. It’s like I’m bonding with the watch.
- It’s Durable: I’m not the most careful person, but this watch can take a beating. And the sapphire crystal, man, it’s tough. I’ve bumped it a couple of times and not a single scratch.
- It’s an investment: I heard that some people get it for around $2500. So, it’s not just a watch. It’s an investment.
So yeah, that’s my experience with the OMEGA Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch Sapphire. It’s more than just a watch to me. It’s a piece of history on my wrist. If you’re thinking about getting one, I’d say go for it. It’s worth every penny.
It was a really big buy. This watch might be “the one” that I wear for a long time. I’m not sure, but if you are like me who’s into watches, you understand. It’s not just about the watch itself. It’s like, you know, how it makes you feel, the story behind it, the whole package.
