Okay, so, I’ve been wanting to get my hands on this OMEGA Speedmaster “Silver Snoopy Award” 50th Anniversary watch for a while now. This isn’t just any watch, it’s a piece of history, you know? Celebrating 50 years since OMEGA got the Silver Snoopy Award from NASA. I finally decided to go for it and ordered one.
When I placed the order for this watch, I was really excited. They told me this is not a limited edition, but everyone wants one. It’s like, super popular. I chose the white dial version because it reminds me of the one they made for Apollo 13’s 45th anniversary back in 2015. That one was all white with a Snoopy on it, pretty cool.
After I made the order, I waited a few days. Then, the package arrived. It wasn’t just any box, it was a special presentation box. It felt really special opening it. Inside, there was the watch, and man, it looked even better in person than in the pictures.
The Details
- The watch has this Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 3861 movement. I don’t know all the technical stuff, but it sounds fancy and it’s supposed to be really good.
- The white dial is so clean and the blue details really pop. And of course, there’s a little Snoopy on the dial, which is why everyone loves these watches.
I started wearing the watch, and let me tell you, it feels amazing on the wrist. It’s comfortable and it looks so good. I found out that some astronauts wore a Speedmaster during a spaceflight in 2022, which makes this watch feel even more special. Like, it’s connected to actual space travel!
The Real Surprise
The best part, though, is the back of the watch. I flipped it over, and wow! Unlike the older Snoopy watches, this one has a picture of the Earth and the Moon. And get this, there’s a little spaceship with Snoopy inside, and it actually moves around when you use the chronograph! It’s like a tiny little animation on the back of the watch. So cool!
I’ve been wearing this watch every day since I got it. It’s not just a watch, it’s a conversation starter. People ask me about it all the time. And honestly, it just makes me happy to wear it. It’s like having a little piece of space history and a fun little cartoon character all in one.
Oh, and I almost forgot! The watch also comes with a five-year warranty. That’s a pretty good deal, it makes me feel more secure about wearing it all the time. I heard that these Snoopy watches are considered good investments, but honestly, I’m not planning on selling mine anytime soon. I’m just enjoying wearing it too much!
