So, I’ve been messing around with watches lately, and let me tell you, the OMEGA Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch, it’s a whole thing. I got my hands on a Sapphire, original order, and it’s been quite the ride.
First off, I started digging into this whole Moonwatch world. I mean, I knew it was famous, and people call it “Speedy” ,but I didn’t know all the history behind it. It’s like, the original Moonwatch, they’re saying it’s the 105.003 or 105.012. And you know what’s wild? They split the Speedmaster into all these categories, like “Heritage” and “Dark Side of the Moon.” Smart move, really. Makes it all feel more… organized, you know?
I went straight for the classic Moonwatch collection. The one everyone pictures. Manual-wind, that Hesalite crystal – it’s like stepping back in time. I was hooked on the idea that it hasn’t changed much since the old days. It’s a timeless design, for real.
- Got it.
- Wore it.
- Felt like a boss.
Now, here’s where it got interesting. I started reading about how these things hold their value. And not just hold, some of these limited editions, they actually go up in price! It’s like, the rarer they are, the more people want them. And get this: I saw someone saying a Speedy (reference 311.30. 42.30. 01.005 Hesalite) went up over 10% in just 18 months! That’s crazy, right? And they’re predicting OMEGA will raise their prices again soon. Makes you think, doesn’t it?
The whole experience?
Eye-opening. It’s not just about telling time anymore, it’s like owning a piece of history, a story. And the fact that it might be worth more later? That’s just the cherry on top. I wore it every day for a month, I mean, everywhere. To the grocery store, to pick up the kids, even just lounging at home. It felt… different. Like I was part of something bigger. I even started looking at those vintage models, dreaming about what else is out there. This Sapphire Speedy, it’s just the beginning, I can feel it. And I can’t wait to see where this rabbit hole takes me next.
