Alright, folks, gather around. Today, I’m gonna walk you through my little adventure with the CopyOMEGA Ω X-33 Marstimer. Yeah, you heard it right – a copy. Let’s dive in, shall we?
Getting My Hands on It
First things first, I had to get my hands on one of these bad boys. I heard from a buddy that Japan’s the place to snag these things cheap, especially OMEGA and Hamilton watches. Tax-free, he says! But I’m in California, which is a long way from Japan. Fortunately, I remembered seeing one at the OB in Costa Mesa a few weeks back. They also had one of those fancy X-33 Solar Impulse limited editions. Anyway, I got one.
Initial Setup
So, I got the watch. First step? I went through all the basic configurations, you know, setting the time, date, and all that jazz. It felt pretty standard, nothing too fancy. But this is where it gets interesting.
Exploring the Modes
Next up, I explored the different modes. This thing has a bunch of them. I mean, it’s supposed to be for those astronaut folks, so it’s packed with features. It’s a bit overwhelming, honestly, but kind of cool in a geeky way.
Playing with the Crown
Every time you push the crown, you cycle through the functions. Push, push, push – it’s like a little game. I spent a good chunk of time just cycling through, trying to figure out what each icon and abbreviation meant. The manual was some help, but mostly I was just pushing buttons and seeing what happened.
Hands Jumping Around
Here’s a neat trick: the hands jump forward or backward when you set the time. It’s pretty cool to watch. I’m not gonna lie; I probably spent way too long just making the hands jump back and forth. It’s the little things, right?
Figuring Out the Marstimer Part
Now, this Marstimer, it’s not your average ticker. It’s made for them astronaut folks, you know. Keeps you on time, even when you’re millions of miles away from home. They call it the Speedmaster X-33 Marstimer, and it’s supposed to be the next big thing for space nerds. The original is made of grade 2 titanium, which sounds fancy. This one? Not so much. But hey, it does the job… mostly.
Size Matters
This is what you need to know when purchasing one. It’s big, 45mm, like I said. It’s a copy, so you’re not getting that fancy titanium, but it’s still got some heft to it. It feels solid on the wrist, though I wouldn’t go swimming with it or anything.
Final Thoughts
So, there you have it. That’s my experience with the CopyOMEGA Ω X-33 Marstimer. I played around with it, figured out most of its quirks, and even got a little kick out of the jumping hands. Would I recommend it? Sure, why not. Just don’t expect it to be the real deal, and you’ll be fine. Remember, it’s all about the adventure, right? And maybe, just maybe, it’ll make you feel a bit like an astronaut, even if you’re just sitting at your desk.
Hope you enjoyed my little walkthrough. Keep exploring, folks!
