Alright, so I got my hands on this watch, the OMEGA X-33 Marstimer, the one they’re calling the “Classic Style.” Let me tell you, it’s been a bit of a journey figuring this thing out.
First off, I started digging around to see what makes this watch tick. Turns out, it’s powered by something called the calibre 5619. It has battery that’s supposed to last a good 24 months. Apparently, it’s a “highly precise thermo-compensated multi-functional quartz movement.” Sounds fancy, right? And get this, the European Space Agency (ESA) had a hand in developing and testing its special functions. That’s some serious space cred.
I then went back in time a bit and found out that OMEGA released the first Speedmaster X-33 way back in 1998. This new Marstimer is just the latest in a long line of Speedmasters that have been involved in space exploration. I mean, no other watch can really say it’s been to the moon and back like the Speedmaster can. It’s like the ultimate space watch.
Next, I took a closer look at the watch itself. It’s a hefty 45mm, just like the Skywalker X-33. The case is made from grade-2 titanium, which is pretty cool. And it comes with a titanium bracelet too. The bezel caught my eye as well, but honestly, I was more focused on figuring out how to use all the functions.
The Functions
- Function 1: Basic timekeeping. I managed to set the time, but it took some fiddling around with the buttons.
- Function 2: I found a stopwatch function, which seems pretty standard, but with all the other stuff this watch can do, it almost felt basic.
- Function 3: There’s an alarm, a timer, and some calendar functions. It’s a bit overwhelming, to be honest.
- Function 4: This is where it gets wild. There are specific functions related to Mars timekeeping. I mean, who really needs that? But it’s cool to have, I guess.
After playing around with it for a while, I started to appreciate the complexity of this watch. It’s not just a timepiece; it’s like a mini-computer on your wrist. I mean I was able to download the operating instructions and it was tagged as “Speedmaster X-33 Marstimer”. But it is really complicated to me. It’s definitely not something you can just pick up and use without spending some quality time with the manual.
Oh, and I heard that if you want to get your hands on a CopyOMEGA Silver Snoopy 50th, you should check out specialty stores. Just a little tip for any fellow watch enthusiasts out there.
So, that’s my experience with the OMEGA X-33 Marstimer “Classic Style” so far. It’s been a learning curve, but I’m starting to get the hang of it. It’s a unique piece, that’s for sure. It is really a good watch.
