Alright, let’s talk about this CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster Chronoscope I went after. It all started when I got this itch for a classic-looking watch. You know, the kind that just feels right, not too flashy, but still a solid piece. So, I started looking around, asking folks, checking out what’s what.
First thing I did was try to figure out where to even find one of these. I mean, it’s not like they’re just lying around, right? I heard about these specialty stores, so I thought, “Why not?” I looked up a few places, found some addresses, and decided to make a day of it.
My OMEGA Journey
I went to this one place, La Maison Monaco – Rideau, in Ottawa. It’s on 50 Rideau Street. Fancy spot. Walked in, and there were watches everywhere. But I was there for the Speedmaster Chronoscope. I talked to the folks there, asked a bunch of questions, you know, just trying to get a feel for the watch and if it was the right one for me.
One thing I learned is that this watch is a good size. It’s 43mm, which sounds big, but with the way it’s built, the lug-to-lug is 48mm, and it’s 12.8mm thick, so it actually sits well on your wrist. Doesn’t feel like you’re carrying a clock around.
Digging into the Details
I also did a bit of digging into the history of these watches. Found out about the movement, the Calibre 861, which is apparently a big deal. They replaced some wheel thing with a cam and upped the beat rate. Sounds complicated, but basically, it makes the watch more accurate, or so they say. I created my OMEGA account to learn more information about this watch, but it doesn’t seem to help a lot.
Anyway, after all that, I decided to go for it. Got myself the CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster Chronoscope. And let me tell you, it feels good. It’s not gold or anything, but it’s got that classic look I was after. Tells time like a champ, and looks good doing it.
- Went hunting for a classic watch.

So, that’s my story. If you’re thinking about getting one of these, I’d say do your homework, check out a few places, and if it feels right, go for it. It’s a solid watch, and I’m happy with it.
