Okay, let’s talk about this OMEGA Speedmaster “Silver Snoopy Award” 50th Anniversary watch. I’ve always been a watch guy, and this one caught my eye a while back. I finally decided to pull the trigger and get one for myself.
So, the first thing I did was to read up some info about it online. I found out that it’s not the first time OMEGA made a Snoopy-themed watch. Apparently, there were two older limited editions. The first one in 2003 had 5,441 pieces, and the second one in 2015 had only 1,970. Good to know for context, I guess.
Then I discovered that this new one, the “Silver Snoopy Award” 50th Anniversary, isn’t a limited edition. At first, I was a bit bummed, but then I thought, “Hey, at least I have a better chance of getting one!” This watch was released in 2020, and from what I gathered, it’s still pretty popular.
I started digging deeper into the details. This watch has something to do with NASA and an award they gave to OMEGA in 1970. It seems like Snoopy is some kind of safety mascot for NASA, which is kinda cool. OMEGA got this “Silver Snoopy Award” for helping out with space exploration. Makes sense, I suppose, given the Speedmaster’s history with space missions.
Next, I checked out the specs of the watch. It’s got a 42mm steel case, which is a good size for me. The bezel is made of blue ceramic, and it looks pretty sharp. It has these blue accents on the sub-dials, which I think are a nice touch. I also noticed that it’s powered by this OMEGA Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 3861, but honestly, that doesn’t mean much to me, I didn’t buy it for this!
After doing all this research, I finally decided to go for it and find it. I mean, it’s a cool watch with a unique story. I wear it to work, to meet clients or to have dinner out with the family. You know, it’s just a cool thing to have.
Here’s what I did to get my hands on one:
- Looked around online. I checked out a bunch of websites that sell watches to get an idea of the price and availability.
- Visited some watch stores. I figured it would be good to see the watch in person and try it on. Plus, talking to the salespeople might give me some extra info.
- Compared prices. I found that there was some variation in pricing, and it’s not that easy to get, so I had to do some digging to find the best deal.
- Made the purchase. After some back and forth, I finally found a good price and pulled the trigger. I bought it online from a reputable dealer.
Now I have this cool OMEGA Snoopy watch. It’s a nice conversation starter, and I like the whole space connection. Plus, it’s just a good-looking watch!
