Well, let me tell you, I got this here watch, they call it the OMEGA Speedmaster X-33 Marstimer. It’s a fancy thing, ain’t it? They say it tells time on Earth and Mars. Now, I don’t know nothin’ ’bout Mars, but I reckon it’s far away. This here OMEGA X-33 Marstimer, it’s somethin’ else.
This Marstimer watch, it’s got a shiny ring around the face. They call it a “bezel.” Sounds like a critter to me. This bezel is a red color, like that red dirt we got back home. They say it’s made of “oxalic anodized aluminum,” and it’s a red hematite color. I don’t know what that means, but it sure is pretty. It reminds me of my old tin roof after a good rain, all rusty and red. This Speedmaster X-33 Marstimer is a sight to behold.
The whole thing, this here watch case, is made of somethin’ called “grade 2 titanium.” Now, I ain’t never heard of such a thing. Titanium, they say. Must be tough stuff. You know, my old man, he had a titanium hip put in. Said it was stronger than bone. So this watch, this OMEGA Marstimer, it must be strong, too. It’s made with the European Space Agency, whatever that is. They must know a thing or two about space and Mars. It’s all about that space stuff.
They got a book, a “manual” they call it, for this here watch. It’s got all sorts of writin’ in it, explainin’ how to work the darn thing. It’s called the “Speedmaster X-33 Marstimer operating instructions manual.” You can download it, they say. It’s a PDF, whatever that is. It’s full of fancy words, like X-33 OMEGA and OMEGA Speedmaster. They talk about different “modes,” like that “analogue mode”. Sounds complicated, but I reckon I could figure it out if I had to.
- First thing, you gotta get this manual.
- Then you gotta read it real good.
- Then you gotta push all these buttons.
- Then, maybe, it’ll tell you the time on Mars.
The strap on this watch, it ain’t like no ordinary strap. It’s made of that “titanium” stuff, too. They say it’s “grade 2 and grade 5 titanium.” Sounds like they’re gradin’ it, like eggs. Big ones, small ones. This one must be the best grade, I reckon. It feels strong, like it won’t break easy. My old man, he used to say, “Strong as an ox.” This OMEGA Speedmaster X-33 Marstimer, it’s strong as an ox, I bet.
You can buy this watch, they say. Online. On the “official OMEGA website.” Now, I ain’t never bought nothin’ online. But my granddaughter, she does it all the time. She says it’s easy. You just click a few buttons, and bam, it’s at your door. This watch, it’s called “Ref. 318.90.45.79.01.003.” That’s a mouthful, ain’t it? But that’s what they call it. This Marstimer Titanium watch, it’s a fancy piece of work.
Some folks online, they’re talkin’ ’bout this watch. They got “issues,” they say. Somethin’ about a “new detailed manual for the Marstimer.” Sounds like they need help figurin’ it out, just like me. There are discussions about whether to get the X-33 Marstimer or the Skywalker. I don’t know about the Skywalker, but this Marstimer sure is somethin’. They even ask “Should I get a Marstimer?” Well, if you got the money, I reckon you should.
There’s another one called the “X-33 Skywalker.” Sounds like somethin’ out of a movie. People are debatin’ between the Skywalker and the Marstimer. I don’t know nothin’ ’bout the Skywalker, but this X-33 Marstimer, it’s got my eye. They’re both OMEGA, though. And they are both Speedmaster. Must be good watches. I reckon it tells time just fine, but it also got all these other doohickeys on it. Buttons and lights and what not.
This OMEGA Speedmaster X-33 Marstimer, it’s a special watch. They say it’s for tellin’ time on Earth and Mars. Like I said, I don’t know nothin’ ’bout Mars, but I reckon it’s a long way from here. But if you ever find yourself on Mars, I reckon this is the watch to have. It’s a tough watch, a fancy watch, and it tells time on two planets. Now that’s somethin’, ain’t it?
This Marstimer, it’s the real deal, I tell ya. It’s got all the bells and whistles. If you’re lookin’ for a watch that can do it all, this is the one. It’s an OMEGA, and that means somethin’. It’s a Speedmaster, so you know it’s fast. And it’s a Marstimer, so you know it can handle anything, even Mars. This here watch, it’s somethin’ special. I’m glad I got to see it, even if I don’t understand all the fancy stuff. It’s a good watch. A real good watch.
