Omega Speedmaster 50th Anniversary "Silver Snoopy Award"

Few modern watches have captured the imagination of collectors quite like the Omega Speedmaster “Snoopy” models. More than just a charming character on the dial, they celebrate the “Silver Snoopy Award” which was given to NASA astronauts to honour their role in safely bringing home the crew of Apollo 13. The Speedmaster also played a role, when the chronograph timed a critical 14-second engine burn. 
 
This 50th Anniversary Edition was released in 2020 as the third, and most technically advanced, of all the Snoopy watches.
 
The 42mm steel case is in keeping with the classic Moonwatch, with twisted lyre lugs, pump pushers and a tachymeter bezel. The solid silver dial, engraved with Ag925, is paired with blue accents, giving it a clean, legible and handsome aesthetic. And of course, Snoopy is displayed on the subdial at 9 o’clock, guaranteed to make you smile when you check your watch.
 
Setting this watch apart from its predecessors on the animated case back. It shows the surface of the moon, and the words “Eyes on the Stars”, but when the chronograph is activated, a cartoon of Snoopy in a rocket travels across the case back, while the earth also rotates in the background. Ingenious, charming and beautifully executed, is perfectly captures the spirit of the piece. 
 
Powering the watch is the manual-wind Omega calibre 3861, a Master Chronometer-certified movement featuring the Co-Axial escapement, silicon balance spring, and an impressive 50-hour power reserve.
 
Originally fitted on a blue nylon strap and pin buckle, this watch is also supplied with an elegant steel Omega bracelet for alternative looks. 
 
Presented as a full set, this 2023 watch comes with its original box and paperwork, including an Omega travel case and Omega 5-year warranty covering the watch until October 2028. Furthermore, the watch has recently been regulated by Omega, and as such has been tested and found to be running well and within the required specifications. The case, bracelet and strap are in an excellent condition, showing very little evidence of wear.
 
This 50th Anniversary Edition perfectly encapsulates the spirit of the Snoopy editions, while combining historical significance with thoughtful engineering. It’s a watch that has been made to be enjoyed and would make a wonderful addition to any collection.
