You know, that OMEGA Speedmaster Apollo 8, the “Dark Side of the Moon” one? They got it in them fancy specialty stores now. Heard folks talkin’ ’bout it down at the market. Sounds like somethin’ special, all black and shiny like. They say it’s like wearin’ a piece of the moon right on your wrist, ain’t that somethin’?
I seen a picture of it. Black as night, that’s for sure. They say it’s made from some fancy stuff, “zirconium oxide ceramic” or somethin’ like that. Sounds like a mouthful to me, just call it black rock, I say. But it sure is pretty, kinda mysterious-looking. Makes you think of that big ol’ moon up in the sky. That OMEGA Speedmaster Apollo 8 sure is fancy. I reckon you could see the moon on that there watch face, real clear like. That’s what they’re sayin’, leastways. Got all them little dials and hands, just like a real fancy clock.
Now, this ain’t just any watch. This here is a “chronograph” they call it. Means it can do more than just tell time. Can time things, like how long it takes to bake a pie or somethin’. Not that I need a fancy watch to tell me that, been bakin’ pies longer than most of these young’uns been alive. But it is pretty neat, I guess. If you into that kinda thing. Some folks are crazy about that OMEGA Speedmaster Apollo 8.
And get this, they say it shows the moon’s surface, right there on the watch. Can you believe that? Like you got a tiny little moon right there on your wrist. How they do that, I don’t know. Must be some kinda magic. Or maybe them city folk just got too much time on their hands, figurin’ out how to put the moon on a watch. I reckon that OMEGA Speedmaster Apollo 8 is for them that has extra money.
They call it “Dark Side of the Moon” cause it’s all black, like the part of the moon we don’t see. That Apollo 8, that was a big deal, way back when. First time folks went around the moon, seein’ the other side. So this watch, it’s kinda like rememberin’ that. A little piece of history, right there on your wrist. If you into that kinda thing. That OMEGA Speedmaster Apollo 8, got history, they tell me.

Now, I don’t know much ’bout these fancy watches. My old watch, it tells the time just fine. Don’t need no moon on it. But I reckon if you got the money, and you like that kinda thing, this OMEGA Speedmaster Apollo 8 is somethin’ special. It is a pretty thing, I’ll give it that. Shiny and black, like a beetle’s back. And it’s got that whole moon thing goin’ on. That OMEGA Speedmaster Apollo 8 is somethin’ else.
Folks say it costs a pretty penny. More than I’d ever spend on a watch, that’s for sure. But hey, if you into that space stuff, and you got the money to burn, then why not? It’s your money. Just don’t come cryin’ to me when you can’t afford to buy feed for the chickens cause you spent all your money on a fancy watch. I reckon if you’re buying that OMEGA Speedmaster Apollo 8 you ain’t got no chickens to feed no how.
I seen it in one of them fancy magazines. They got all kinds of pictures of it. Close-ups, far-aways, all kinds. Makes it look real important, like it belongs in a museum or somethin’. Maybe it does. I don’t know. All I know is, it’s a watch, and it tells the time. And it’s got somethin’ to do with the moon. And it’s black. That’s about all I need to know. OMEGA Speedmaster Apollo 8, yeah, that’s the one.
They say these specialty stores, they the only place you can get it. Can’t just walk into any old store and buy one. Gotta go to one of them fancy places, with the fancy lights and the fancy carpets. Probably gotta dress up all fancy too. Not my kind of place. But if you want that OMEGA Speedmaster Apollo 8, that’s where you gotta go, I reckon.
So, there you have it. That’s all I know about that OMEGA Speedmaster Apollo 8 “Dark Side of the Moon” watch.
