Alright, so I’ve been eyeing this Omega X-33 Marstimer watch for a while now. It’s got this whole Mars thing going on, and I just had to see what the hype was about. I finally pulled the trigger and bought one from the official Omega flagship store.
First off, let me tell you, this thing is not cheap. We’re talking about $6,400 here. But, you know, it’s an Omega, and it’s got some serious tech packed into it. It’s all about precision and being “thermo-compensated,” whatever that means. It just sounds really high-tech, right?
When I got it, the first thing I noticed was the size. It’s a 45mm case, which is pretty big, but it’s made of grade 2 titanium, so it’s surprisingly light. I weighed it, and it came in at just 112 grams. Not bad for a watch this size. The bracelet is also titanium, but grade 5, I guess that is a little bit different. I’m not a materials expert, but it felt good on the wrist.
Now, about that Mars time tracking. I’m not exactly planning a trip to Mars anytime soon, but it’s a cool feature to have. I mean, how many people can say they have a watch that can track time on another planet? It’s a conversation starter, for sure. They said this one will not discontinue the Speedmaster X-33 Skywalker, interesting.
- Went to the Omega official flagship store.
- Drooled over the Marstimer for a bit.
- Swiped my card and paid the $6,400.
- Took it home and marveled at its titanium glory.
- Figured out how to set the Mars time, just because.
- Showed it off to my friends and pretended I knew what “thermo-compensated” meant.
Here’s a quick rundown of what I did:
All in all, it’s a cool watch. Is it worth the price? I don’t know, maybe. But I’m happy with it, and that’s what matters, right? I’ve always wanted a fancy watch, and now I’ve got one. Plus, it tracks Mars time. How cool is that?
I heard some people talking about the Omega Speedmaster X-33 and the 2022 Omega Speedmaster, I guess they are pretty similar. For me, I like this one better. I will keep wearing it and I am sure I will enjoy this watch a lot in the future.
