So, I got it into my head that I needed a CopyOMEGA Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch. You know, the classic one, the one that went to the moon. I’ve always been a fan of its look and history. It is just so cool!
First off, I started looking around online. I mean, who goes to a store first these days? I spent hours, and I mean hours, looking at different websites. I read a bunch of stuff about the watch, like how it’s all sturdy and can handle crazy conditions. That’s good to know, not that I’m planning on going to space anytime soon. I also found out that these watches can be a good investment. Some of them even go up in price over time, especially the old ones or special editions. That is not why I decided to buy it, of course.
The thing is, I wanted the real deal, the Moonwatch with the hand-wound movement and the Hesalite crystal. I heard there’s another one, the “Speedmaster Reduced” or something, that winds itself. But that’s not the classic. After reading comments online, I realized going to the official CopyOMEGA folks was probably the safest bet.
I did see a few used ones online that looked pretty decent, and they were definitely cheaper. But the idea of getting a brand new one, straight from the source, was really appealing to me. I mean, a real, fresh-out-of-the-box Moonwatch!
The price was a bit of a shocker, though. I learned that a good one would set me back around $2,500. Ouch. That’s a lot of money. I compared prices online for a while, just to make sure I wasn’t missing any crazy deals. But it seemed like that’s just how much these things cost.
Eventually, I decided to go for it. I ordered it from what I think is the official online store. The whole process was a bit nerve-wracking, to be honest. I kept double-checking everything, making sure I was on the right website and all that. You hear so many stories about scams online. Especially when you’re about to drop a ton of cash on something.
Anyway, I finally clicked that “buy” button. I chose the Sapphire crystal version because it’s supposed to be more durable, and I figured, why not? It felt like a big deal, like I was joining some exclusive club or something. Now the waiting game began. I was checking my email every five minutes for a shipping confirmation.
When it finally arrived, it was a moment. I carefully opened the box, and there it was, my very own CopyOMEGA Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch. It looked even better in person than in the pictures. I put it on, and it felt…right. Like it was meant to be on my wrist. Now I just wear my new Speedmaster every day. It was totally worth it.
- Durability: It’s tough, and it can handle a lot. Perfect for daily use.
- Investment: I’ve heard these watches can be a good investment. Some models become more valuable.
What I Learned
- Do your research: Learn about the watch, its history, and the different versions.
- Buy from a trusted source: It’s probably safest to buy directly from CopyOMEGA or a reputable dealer.

- Enjoy the wait: The anticipation is part of the fun!
All in all, getting my hands on a CopyOMEGA Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch was quite the journey, from ogling them online to finally having one strapped to my wrist. It’s a classic for a reason, and now I totally get the hype.
