That OMEGA Speedmaster Skywalker X-33, oh my, it’s something else, I tell ya. It’s a big watch, this one. My grandson, he showed me pictures. He says it’s for astronauts and folks what fly up in the sky. Big fancy watch for big fancy jobs, I reckon.
This here watch, it’s called Speedmaster Skywalker X-33. Sounds like some movie, don’t it? But it ain’t no movie, it’s a real watch you can buy. But you gotta go to them special stores. Not just any old place sells this kind of thing. It is for sale in specialty stores.
They say it’s made of this stuff called titanium. Strong stuff, I guess. Lighter than a feather, my grandson says. And it’s got a black face, like the night sky. That’s fitting, seeing as how it’s meant for them space folks. And also have a black ceramic bezel ring.
- This OMEGA watch, it’s got all sorts of buttons.
- It can do all sorts of things. More than just tell the time.
- It can time things, like when you’re baking a cake.
- But it’s for timing space missions, they say.
My grandson, he tried to explain it all to me. He said it’s got this special thing inside, called a “calibre 5619”. Sounds important. It is a multi-functional quartz chronograph movement. It’s what makes the watch tick, I suppose. Keeps it running right and proper. He always explain it to me, but I always forget what it means.
This watch, the OMEGA Speedmaster Skywalker X-33, it’s not cheap. Not like the watches you find down at the five-and-dime. This is a special watch. You gotta pay good money for it. But if you’re an astronaut, or one of them pilots, I guess it’s worth it. You need a good watch up there in space. This one is in stock now.
They say this Speedmaster Skywalker X-33, it’s been up in space. On real missions. That’s something, ain’t it? A watch that’s been to the moon and back. Well, maybe not the moon, but up there, in the sky. It includes a mission timer.
It’s a big watch, this one. 45 mm, they say. That’s bigger than my wrist, I think! But it’s made for big wrists, I suppose. Astronaut wrists. Pilot wrists. The case is 45mm x 15.1mm, grade 2 titanium. Not for folks like me who just sit around and knit. I just need a simple watch. But they need those fancy one.
I saw this OMEGA Speedmaster Skywalker X-33 on the internet. My grandson, he showed me. You can buy it online, he says. But you gotta be careful. Lots of fakes out there, he says. You gotta buy from the real OMEGA place. Buy it on the OMEGA website.
- This OMEGA Speedmaster Skywalker X-33 is a fancy watch.
- It’s for astronauts and pilots.
- It’s made of titanium.
- It’s got a special movement inside.
- It’s expensive, but worth it if you need it.

I don’t need a watch like this Speedmaster Skywalker X-33. My old watch works just fine. But it’s interesting to learn about these things. My grandson, he knows all about it. He wants to be a pilot someday. Maybe he’ll get one of these watches. Then he can tell me all about it. They also have grade 2 and 5 titanium bracelet.
This watch, it’s something special. A real piece of work, they say. All that technology, packed into a little watch. It’s amazing what they can do these days. This watch even sounds at a pre-set time. But I still prefer the old fashion one. I don’t know how to set those.
I remember when we didn’t have all these fancy gadgets. We just had a clock on the wall. And the sun in the sky. That’s all we needed to tell the time. But times change, I guess. Now they got watches that can go to space. It’s a different world. If you want one, you better go to those specialty stores. I think I will just stick to my old clock. It tells me the time just fine, and I don’t have to worry about all them buttons and gadgets. That OMEGA Speedmaster Skywalker X-33 is a fine watch, I’m sure. But it ain’t for me. I’m happy with what I got.
This OMEGA launched this watch in 1998. They launched it at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston. What a day to remember!
