This watch, it’s called CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster Apollo 8 “Dark Side of the Moon”Original order, that’s a mouthful, ain’t it? Sounds fancy, though. They say it’s somethin’ special, somethin’ about the moon. Well, I tell ya, I ain’t never been to the moon, but I seen it in the sky plenty of times. Big and bright, that old moon. This watch, it’s supposed to be like that, I reckon. Dark and mysterious, like the other side of the moon that nobody sees.
They say it’s a copy, but a real good one. Like when you make a pie just like your mama used to, even though it ain’t her makin’ it. It is just as good. It is about Omega Speedmaster Apollo, and it is also about the Dark Side of the Moon. And it is about Apollo 8 too. It is a lot of things, this watch.
This here watch, it’s got a black strap, they call it Cordura. Sounds tough, like that old corduroy jacket my husband used to wear. Black as night, that strap. And the watch itself, it’s black too. All black, like a starless night in the middle of nowhere. But it’s got these yellow bits, bright yellow, like a field of sunflowers. Stands out against all that black. Makes it easier to see the time, I suppose.

- Black watch, like a starless night.
- Yellow bits, bright like sunflowers.

They say some fella named Apollo went to the moon, in somethin’ called Apollo 11. It is long ago, like 1966. This watch, it’s supposed to be like the ones they wore up there. Imagine that, wearin’ a watch on the moon! It is a Moon watch. Must be somethin’ pretty special to go all the way to the moon. They called this watch model is 3869, just like some numbers, 3861. And they used somethin’ called laser to make it look like the moon. Sounds mighty complicated to me.
This watch, it ain’t cheap, though. They say it costs a whole lot of money. More money than I ever seen in my life. But I guess if you want somethin’ that’s been to the moon, or somethin’ that looks like it has, you gotta pay for it. It’s like buyin’ a piece of the sky, I suppose.
They showed this watch off at some fancy place, Baselworld, in 2018. It is 50 years after the Apollo 8, whatever that is. They say it’s a big deal, this Apollo 8. Must be somethin’ important, if they makin’ a whole watch about it. This CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster Apollo 8 “Dark Side of the Moon”Original order, it’s got a lot of history, I reckon. A lot of stories behind it.
You can see through this watch, too. They call it skeleton, like them old bones you find in the ground sometimes. You can see all the little bits and pieces movin’ around inside. It’s kinda neat, I gotta admit. Like watchin’ a tiny little world turnin’ and turnin’. They say it’s supposed to look like the moon’s surface. All rough and bumpy, like a dirt road after a hard rain. It is like wear the moon on your hand.
This CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster Apollo 8 “Dark Side of the Moon”Original order, it’s a man’s watch, I reckon. Too big and clunky for a woman’s wrist. But I guess some women might like it.
