Alright, let’s talk about this watch I’ve been messing with – the CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster Skywalker X-33. Yeah, that’s a mouthful, but it’s got that “Classic Style” everyone’s talking about. Now, I’m no watch expert, but I like to tinker, so I got my hands on one of these and started to figure it out.
First off, this thing is big. I mean, it’s 45mm, so it’s not exactly subtle on your wrist. But it feels solid, you know? It’s made of titanium, which makes it pretty tough, just like the ones those astronauts wore to the Moon. This thing ain’t breaking easily. It has some weight, but not too much.
I started by checking out the dial. Now, on a real OMEGA, everything’s supposed to be super sharp, right? The logo, the markings, all of it. So, I compared it to some pictures of real Speedmasters online. I spent a good chunk of time just getting familiar with how a genuine one looks. Honestly, this copy does a pretty decent job. But if you look really close, you’ll see that the fonts and markings aren’t as crisp as the real deal. It’s close, but not quite there.

Then I flipped it over to look at the back. Real OMEGAs have this laser etching on the case, which I guess is some sort of anti-counterfeiting thing. This copy has something similar, but again, it’s not as sharp as the real thing. It’s like they tried to copy it, but didn’t quite nail it.
Then I started playing with the features. I pushed buttons and turned it. This watch, it’s got a lot going on. I mean, it’s got all these digital displays and functions. I’m not gonna lie, it took me a while to figure out what everything does. It’s powered by something called the OMEGA calibre 5619, which I guess is pretty fancy. This CopyOMEGA, it’s running on a quartz movement. It’s got all these features that I guess pilots and astronauts would use, or maybe even just regular folks who like a lot of gadgets on their wrist.
- First, I tried setting the time. It took a few tries.
- Then I started messing with the chronograph. That was fun.
- I figured out it has an alarm too. Loud, I’ll tell you that.
- There’s also this thing called a “mission elapsed time.” No idea what that’s for, but it sounds cool.
I wore it around for a few days. It’s comfortable enough, even though it’s big. It feels good on the wrist. It definitely gets some looks, that’s for sure. People notice it. I even had a few folks ask me if it was a real OMEGA. I just smiled and said, “It’s a Speedmaster.” I mean, technically, it is, right? Just not the real one. Anyway, it kept time pretty well.
So, after messing with it for a while, I can see why people like these watches. They’re tough, they’ve got a lot of features, and they look pretty cool. But this one, it’s a copy. A good copy, maybe, but still a copy. If you’re into that “Classic Style” and don’t want to break the bank, then this might be for you. But if you’re a real watch snob, you’re gonna want the real deal.
Look, this CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster Skywalker X-33, it’s not a bad watch. It’s just not the same as a real OMEGA. But it’s a fun little project to mess around with, and it’s got that classic look that a lot of people dig. So, if you’re looking for a beater watch with some cool features, give it a shot. Just don’t expect it to be something it’s not.
But hey, if you like the style and don’t care about it being a copy, then go for it. It’s your wrist, after all. I just did this for fun, to see what this watch was all about. Now I know, and maybe you do too.
