Alright, let’s talk about my latest little project – getting my hands on that OMEGA Speedmaster 310.92.44.50.01.001, the Apollo 8 “Dark Side of the Moon” edition, the one with the little rocket. It’s a mouthful, I know, but trust me, it’s worth it.
So, first off, I started by doing some digging around. I needed to know what I was getting myself into, you know? Turns out, this watch is a 44.25 mm model, and it’s got this cool blackened movement that’s supposed to be a nod to the Speedmaster’s history with the Apollo 8 mission. Pretty neat, huh?
Then I found out it’s powered by something called the OMEGA Co-Axial Master Chronometer caliber 3869. Sounds fancy, right? It’s got a 50-hour power reserve, which is good to know. I mean, who wants their watch dying on them all the time?
I also learned that this is an updated version of the original 2018 Apollo 8. The whole thing is made of black ceramic, and they call it the “Dark Side of the Moon.” It’s got this moon-relief texture on the main plate and bridges, and it’s resistant to magnetic fields up to 15,000 gauss. I’m not even sure what that means, but it sounds impressive.
Once I had all that info, I started looking for places to buy it. I wanted to make sure I was getting a new and authentic one. Eventually, I found a place that seemed legit. I pulled the trigger and ordered it. Easy peasy.
Waiting for it to arrive was the hardest part. It felt like forever, but finally, it showed up at my door. I ripped open the package like a kid on Christmas morning, and there it was – my brand-new OMEGA Speedmaster Apollo 8. It was even more beautiful in person than in the pictures.
I strapped it on my wrist, and it felt amazing. It’s got a good weight to it, but it’s not too heavy. And that little rocket? It’s the perfect touch. I’ve been wearing it every day since I got it, and I’ve gotten so many compliments. People can’t stop staring at it.
So, yeah, that’s the story of how I got my OMEGA Speedmaster 310.92.44.50.01.001. It was a bit of a process, but it was totally worth it. This watch is a keeper, and I’m planning on wearing it for a long, long time.
- First step: I dug into the details of the watch online.
- Second step: I learned about its features and history.
- Third step: I found a place to purchase it from a trusted source.
- Fourth step: I placed the order and waited for delivery.
- Fifth step: I received the watch and started wearing it.
It’s a pretty cool watch, right?
It’s all black and shiny, and it’s got that little rocket on it. I’m pretty happy with it.
