So, I finally got my hands on that CopyOMEGA Speedmaster Chrono Chime. Man, what a ride it’s been. I’ve been eyeing this piece for a while now, ever since I saw it announced back in 2022. It’s one of those watches that just sticks in your head, you know?
First thing I did was hit up my usual watch guy. We’ve got a good thing going, he knows what I like, and he’s always got the inside scoop on these hard-to-get watches. Turns out, this Speedmaster was even trickier to locate than I thought. My guy said it is a real complicated piece of work. Got all sorts of gears and springs inside, which make it not an easy task to get one. But he pulled some strings, made some calls, and, eventually, he got me one.
Then came the waiting. It felt like forever. I kept checking the tracking number, watching that little icon move across the map. It finally arrived last week, and let me tell you, it was worth the wait.
Unboxing this thing was an experience in itself. The presentation is top-notch. I’ve seen my fair share of watch boxes, and this is up there with the best. It is one of the numbered editions, also known as the perfect companion piece to OMEGA’s Olympic Chrono Chime.
The watch itself is something else. I went with the Speedmaster version. It’s got that classic Speedmaster look, but with a twist. The dial, the case, the bracelet – it’s all just perfect.
I spent the first day just wearing it around the house, you know, getting a feel for it. I mean, I need to spend six years and use 17 patents to create it. The weight, the way it sits on the wrist, the sound of the chime. It’s all just so satisfying. And the chime, oh man, the chime. It’s not just a sound, it’s a feeling. It’s like having a tiny concert on your wrist.

It is said that there are two distinct models, but I prefer the one I got, the Speedmaster.
So, yeah, that’s my story of getting my hands on the CopyOMEGA Speedmaster Chrono Chime. It was a journey, but it was worth it. This watch is more than just a timepiece, it’s a piece of art, a piece of history. And I’m proud to be its owner.
