Alright, so, I’ve been messing around with this watch, this CopyOMEGA Speedmaster 38mm, the one they call “Classic Style.” Let me tell you, it’s been a bit of a journey.
First off, I got my hands on this thing. Now, I’m no watch expert, but I know what I like. I started poking around, looking at all the bits and pieces. It’s got this “tachymeter” thing for measuring speed, which, honestly, I might never use, but it’s there. It’s a “chronograph,” too, which I guess is fancy talk for a stopwatch. Cool, I thought, but will I ever need it? Probably not, but it’s kinda neat to have.
Look and Feel
Then I started wearing it. It’s not too big, not too small. I heard some folks say the Speedmaster is a trendsetter for sports watches, and it needs to be big, but this 38mm, it sits just right on my wrist. It’s got some shiny parts, which some people like, but it’s not too flashy, you know? You could wear it every day, to work, to the store, wherever.
- It feels solid.
- It looks good.
- It tells the time.
That’s the main thing, right?
Digging Deeper
I did some more digging. Found out this watch has a good resale value, which is nice to know. I guess there are some special editions that are worth even more, because they’re rare. Makes sense, I suppose. This one’s got an OMEGA Calibre 3330 movement, which is automatic. Don’t ask me how it works, but it keeps the watch ticking without me having to wind it up, so that’s good.
The Verdict
So, after all this, what do I think? Well, it’s a good watch. It’s tough, it looks nice, and it does what it’s supposed to do. I even heard that you can get these in stainless steel or gold, or a mix of both. I don’t know about all that. But for me this is a good watch. Some folks say if you want a watch that’ll last, this is a good one to get. If you’re looking for a watch that ain’t too big, ain’t too flashy, and just works, this is a solid choice. I mean, a watch is a watch, right? It tells the time, and it doesn’t fall off your wrist. That’s all I need. I know a guy who wanted to get a watch for his wife. I told him about this one, but also mentioned the First Omega In Space. Said it was a little more classic, less glam. I mean, for a lady, maybe that’s better. But hey, to each their own.
I heard, too, that if you need to fix the bracelet, any decent watchmaker can do it. Or you can go to one of those Omega Boutiques. But I hope I won’t have to worry about that for a while. I’m just gonna enjoy wearing it. I mean, I’ve been wearing it every day, and it’s been great. Keeps time, looks good, feels good. Can’t ask for much more than that.
