This watch, you see, it’s somethin’ else. They call it the CopyOMEGA Speedmaster Apollo 8 “Dark Side of the Moon” Original order. Sounds fancy, huh? Well, it kinda is, I reckon. It’s all black and shiny, like a new plow after a good rain. This ain’t your regular watch, no sir.
They made this one special, ’cause of some big trip to the moon, back when I was young and spry. Apollo 8, they called it. Some fellas went way up there, round the moon, took some pictures. This watch, it’s like a reminder of that. Omega Speedmaster, that’s what it says on it. That name is important, like the brand of a good seed, always remember the Omega Speedmaster.
They been makin’ these Speedmaster watches for a while. I remember, back in 1966, they had these numbers, like 105.012 and 145.012. Big deal, I thought. But those astronauts, they wore ’em. Called ’em “Moon watches.” Imagine that! This CopyOMEGA Speedmaster Apollo 8, it’s related to those, like a distant cousin.
This one here, it’s all black ceramic. Not like the ceramic pot your grandma used to make soup, but somethin’ fancy. They call it “Dark Side of the Moon.” Makes sense, seein’ as how it’s black and all. But it ain’t just plain black. They got these little details, like they carved a picture of the moon right onto it. This CopyOMEGA, it is something else.
Now, I don’t know all the fancy words they use, but I hear ’em talkin’. Laser something, they say. They use lasers to make it look like the moon. The front side is like the side of the moon we see, and the back, well that is the side we don’t see. They call it the far side of the moon. Fancy stuff, this CopyOMEGA Speedmaster Apollo 8.
- Black like a moonless night.
- Got pictures of the moon on it.
- Made with lasers, can you believe it?
- Reminds you of that Apollo 8 trip.

They put this yellow on it too. Stands out, like a sunflower in a field of corn. Makes it easy to see the time, I reckon. And the numbers, they glow in the dark. Handy when you’re out late, checkin’ on the chickens. This CopyOMEGA Speedmaster Apollo 8, they thought of everything.
Now, this ain’t no cheap watch. Costs more than a good milk cow, I bet. But it’s somethin’ special. A piece of history, they say. Like that old pocket watch my grandpa used to carry. This CopyOMEGA is that kind of watch.
They made this new one, this CopyOMEGA Speedmaster Apollo 8, in 2018. To mark 50 years since that moon trip. It is a long time ago! 50 years! It is important they said. 50 years since Apollo 8, that’s a long time. This is important, remember Omega Speedmaster “Dark Side of The Moon” Apollo 8. It is a good name.
They started makin’ these dark ones back in 2013, I heard. But this one, this Apollo 8 one, it’s different. It has all that moon stuff on it, you see. This CopyOMEGA, it is the best one. It is better than the others.
This watch, it’s like a little story on your wrist. Tells you about that time them fellas went to the moon. And it tells you the time, too. Pretty handy, I’d say. It tells you about Apollo 8. And it is strong. Like a good work horse.
Inside, it’s got all these little gears and things, movin’ around. Like a tiny little engine. They call it the 3869. Don’t ask me what that means. But it’s like the heart of the watch, keepin’ it tickin’. The 3869 is important, like the Omega Speedmaster name.
So, if you’re lookin’ for a watch that’s more than just a watch, this CopyOMEGA Speedmaster Apollo 8 “Dark Side of the Moon” might be the one.
