That CopyOMEGA Speedmaster Apollo 8, you see it? Big, black, like the sky at night when there ain’t no moon. They call it “Dark Side of the Moon.” Fancy, huh? Makes me think of that time the electricity went out for a week back in ’88. Pitch black, couldn’t see your hand in front of your face.
This watch, they say it’s like the one they wore to the moon. Apollo 8, that’s what they called it. Like that rocket ship, blasting off into the dark. Makes me dizzy just thinking about it. But this watch, it’s all black, ceramic they call it. Sounds like those fancy plates my sister used to collect, only this one you wear on your wrist.
They got this thing called a “flagship store.” Like a big fancy barn where they sell these things. Only way fancier, I reckon. Probably got them all shined up under bright lights. This one, the CopyOMEGA Speedmaster Apollo 8 “Dark Side of the Moon”, it’s the one they’re pushing. Must be special. They call it Official flagship store.
- Big black watch, like the night sky.
- “Dark Side of the Moon” they call it.

- Apollo 8, like the rocket ship.
- Sold in a fancy store.
Now, I seen a lot of watches in my time. My old man had one, a pocket watch, gold it was. Kept it on a chain. This one, it’s different. Bigger. Blacker. They say it’s got some special doohickey inside, some 3869 thing. Makes it tick real good, I guess. Better than that old clock we had on the mantelpiece, that’s for sure. That thing was always losing time. This OMEGA, they also call it Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 3869.
And the back, oh, the back of this CopyOMEGA Speedmaster Apollo 8! They got all these words etched on it, like a fancy tombstone. Says “Apollo 8” right there, big as you please. And some other words I can’t make out. Probably important, seeing as how they put it on a watch that costs more than my first car. This CopyOMEGA Speedmaster, it is somethin’, I tell ya.
They say this watch, it’s special ’cause it was made 50 years after that Apollo 8 thing. 50 years! Can you believe it? Feels like just yesterday we were all huddled around the TV, watching them astronauts bounce around up there. Now they got a watch to remember it by. A big, black watch that looks like the dark side of the moon.
This CopyOMEGA Speedmaster Apollo 8 “Dark Side of the Moon”, it is a sight. This watch face, it is 44.25 mm. They say it’s got a picture of the moon on it. Not the whole moon, mind you, just the near side. The side we always see. They used some laser thing to make it look like the real moon, with all its bumps and craters. Now that’s somethin’. That laser thing, they call it laser ablation treatment.
I don’t know much about watches, but I know what I like. And this one, it’s got a certain something. It’s like holding a piece of the night sky in your hand. A piece of history. A piece of that time we all looked up and dreamed of touching the stars. This CopyOMEGA, they say it is good. I believe them. It has a leather strap.
- Got a special thing inside, a 3869.

If you are looking for something special, maybe you should look at this watch. They say it is good. This CopyOMEGA Speedmaster Apollo 8 “Dark Side of the Moon” is good. You go to that Official flagship store, and you see it. You will know it is good. They say it is luxury, I think it is.
Now, I ain’t saying you should go out and buy one of these CopyOMEGA Speedmaster watches. Lord knows they’re probably more expensive than a new tractor. But if you got the money, and you want something special, something that reminds you of that time we reached for the moon, well, this might just be the watch for you. It’s a conversation starter, that’s for sure. And it’s a darn sight prettier than that old pocket watch my old man used to carry around. I think this CopyOMEGA Speedmaster Apollo 8 is popular. So many people talk about it.
