Alright, so, a while back I finally got my hands on that OMEGA Speedmaster, the 310.92.44.50.01.001 one. You know, the one they call the Apollo 8 “Dark Side of the Moon” – Rocket, from the official store. I’d been eyeing it for a while, so I decided to just go for it.
First off, I headed over to the official flagship store’s website. Browsing through their Speedmaster collection, this specific model, the Apollo 8, immediately caught my eye. This thing is slick. All black ceramic, looks super cool. And I learned that the watch is a tribute to the Apollo 8 mission, which was the first manned mission to orbit the moon. The watch has some details about the mission, pretty neat!
So, I added it to my cart. Then I filled in all my details – you know the drill, shipping address, payment info, the usual stuff. Payment, went smooth, no hiccups there. Order confirmed! Then the waiting game began.
- Waited a few days, checking my email like a hawk for that shipping confirmation.
- Finally, it arrived! Shipping confirmation email in my inbox, along with the tracking number.
- Kept an eye on the tracking info, watching it make its way to me.
Finally, the delivery guy showed up. Signed for the package, and man, the box itself looked fancy. Carefully opened it up, and there it was, the Speedmaster Apollo 8, in all its glory.
Took it out of the box. It was a bit big, 44.25 mm, I remember reading that, but it felt good on my wrist. It came with a black rubber strap. The watch was in a good shape, no damages.
Been wearing it around for a while now, and I gotta say, I’m loving it. It’s a real conversation starter, too. People keep asking me about it, and I get to tell them all about the Apollo 8 mission and how cool this watch is.
Conclusion
So yeah, that’s my story of getting the OMEGA Speedmaster 310.92.44.50.01.001. Pretty straightforward, really. It is a nice watch, and now I own one. If you’re into watches, especially space-related ones, you might wanna check this one out.
