Alright, so I finally pulled the trigger and got myself a CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch with the sapphire crystal – you know, the one with the Caliber 3861 movement. Let me tell you, it’s been a journey.
It all started when I saw a post online asking if the Speedmaster 3861 was good for everyday wear. I mean, “with great power comes great responsibility,” right? And this watch, it’s got some serious power, not to mention history. Anyway, that got me thinking and researching.
I learned that this new Speedmaster is basically a total upgrade. It’s got this new 3861 movement, which is a manual, but it is also a cam, lateral clutch movement. I also went for sapphire because I like to see a manual chronograph movement. Omega took the old 1861, stuck a coaxial module on it, and boom – more power reserve, longer service intervals, and better accuracy. Plus, it’s METAS certified, which is apparently a big deal.
- Deciding Factors: I was torn between this and the automatic ones. But the history of the Moonwatch, and this whole idea of it being a manual-wind, it just felt more… authentic, I guess? Plus, I read somewhere that the 3861 is more beautiful, and they weren’t wrong.
- The Purchase: Getting my hands on one wasn’t too hard. But man, the anticipation!
- First Impressions: The moment I opened the box, I was blown away. It’s one thing to see pictures, but holding it in your hand, feeling the weight, seeing that sapphire crystal… it’s something else. And winding it? Super satisfying.
- Wearing It Out: I’ve been wearing it every day since I got it. It’s surprisingly comfortable. And durable, too. I mean it’s built to withstand extreme conditions! I haven’t taken it to the moon or anything, but it’s handled daily life like a champ.
- Investment Talk: People say these watches hold their value, and some even go up in price. I’m not planning on selling it anytime soon, but it’s nice to know it’s not just a pretty face. It’s also a good investment.
Honestly, getting this Speedmaster has been more than just buying a watch. It’s like joining a club or something. There’s this whole community of Speedmaster fans out there. And every time I look down at my wrist, I’m reminded of that whole space exploration vibe. Pretty cool, if you ask me.
So, yeah, that’s my story of getting the CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch. It’s been an adventure, and I’m pretty sure it’s just the beginning.
