Okay, so, I’ve been eyeing this OMEGA Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch, the one with the sapphire crystal, for a while now. It’s a classic, you know? The kind of watch that just screams history and adventure. I finally decided to go for it and grab one from the specialty stores. Here’s how it went down.
First, I did some digging online. I knew I wanted the sapphire version, not the Hesalite one. I mean, sapphire is way more scratch-resistant, and I’m clumsy as hell. And it seems like the original one with the manual-wind movement is the most popular one, unchanged since forever, but I really love the sapphire one.
Then I hit up a few OMEGA boutiques. I wanted to see the watch in person, feel it on my wrist, you know? The first store I went to was pretty fancy. The sales guy was super helpful, showed me the Moonwatch, and even let me try it on. The bracelet, a polished-brushed five-arched-links-per-row thing, felt really solid and comfortable. They also have other series like Speedmaster Racing and Speedmaster 38 collections in the store. But those are not my type, I prefer the bigger ones.
But I didn’t buy it right away. I checked out a couple more stores, just to compare prices and see if anyone had any special deals going on. The price is different, some are marked $6k, some are around $16k, it depends, but they are all genuine.
And then… I found it. The perfect Moonwatch, with the sapphire crystal, at a price that felt right. I pulled the trigger and bought it. Now it is on my wrist and I couldn’t be happier. It is really a masterpiece, with great history and design.
Wearing this watch feels amazing. It’s not just a timepiece; it’s a piece of history. Every time I look at it, I’m reminded of the incredible journey it represents. And the sapphire crystal? Totally worth it. It is very clear and looks perfect on my wrist.
So, yeah, that’s my Moonwatch story. It was a bit of a process, but I’m so glad I did it. If you’re thinking about getting one, I say go for it. You won’t regret it.
