Okay, so, I’ve been messing around with this new OMEGA watch for a bit, and I thought I’d share my experience. The watch in question is the Speedmaster X-33 Marstimer.
It all started a couple of months ago. I was browsing around, as one does, and I stumbled upon news about this new release from OMEGA. I’m a bit of a space nerd, so the name “Marstimer” immediately caught my attention. I did some digging and found out that OMEGA made this watch in partnership with the European Space Agency (ESA). That’s pretty cool, right?
So, I went to one of those fancy OMEGA stores to check it out in person. The X-33 Marstimer, or as the sales guy kept repeating, the ref. 318.90.45.79.01.003, was right there in the display case. It looked even cooler in person. I tried it on, played around with the buttons, and I was sold. I mean, it’s not every day you get a watch that’s designed with the help of a space agency.
The price was a bit of a shocker, I won’t lie. We’re talking around 7,200 euros, or about 6 grand in US dollars. Yeah, it’s a lot. But I figured, why not? It’s a unique piece, and it’s not like I buy a new watch every day.
- First Impression: The Marstimer looked amazing. It’s got that classic X-33 design, which I’ve always liked.
- Trying it on: I put the watch on, and it felt good. Not too heavy, not too light. Just right.
- Playing around: I started pressing buttons, checking out the different functions. There’s a lot going on with this watch, but it’s all pretty intuitive.
I ended up leaving the store with the Marstimer on my wrist. It’s been about two months now, and I’ve got to say, I’m really happy with it. It’s a great conversation starter, especially when I meet other space fans. Plus, it’s just a really cool watch.
It’s been an interesting couple of months with the Marstimer. I’ve been showing it off to friends, family, anyone who’d listen, really. Most people are impressed, some just nod politely, but hey, it’s a niche thing, right? Not everyone’s into space-themed watches.
Final Thoughts
So, that’s my experience with the OMEGA X-33 Marstimer. It’s a hefty investment, but if you’re into space and you like unique watches, I’d say it’s worth considering. It’s not just a watch; it’s a piece of space exploration history, right there on your wrist.
