Okay, so, I got my hands on this watch, the OMEGA Speedmaster “Silver Snoopy Award” 50th Anniversary. Let me tell you, this wasn’t just some casual purchase. I’ve been eyeing this baby for a while now, since it dropped in 2020. It’s not just any Speedmaster, it’s the “Silver Snoopy Award” edition, and it’s been a real pain to get a hold of.
First off, I started by digging around online. Looked through a bunch of different places, trying to find the best deal. You know how it is, some places mark these things up like crazy. I finally found a decent price, and I have to admit, the price is a bit high, but it’s worth it for this watch.
Then came the waiting game. I ordered it and had to sit tight until it arrived. When it finally got here, I was like a kid on Christmas morning. Ripped open that package and there it was. This thing is even cooler in person.
I wore it around, showed it off a bit. It’s got this silver dial with blue accents on the sub-dials. And the caseback, oh man, it’s something else. Really makes it stand out. And it’s not just about the looks. It’s powered by the OMEGA Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 3861, so you know it’s top-notch in terms of performance.
I found out that Snoopy has been NASA’s safety mascot since the ’60s. This watch is a nod to the “Silver Snoopy Award” they give out for mission success. Pretty cool, right? This one’s the 50th-anniversary version, and apparently, there were earlier versions too, but this one’s special.
So that’s my story with this OMEGA Speedmaster “Silver Snoopy Award” 50th Anniversary watch. It was a bit of a journey to get it, but totally worth it. It’s a beautiful timepiece with a cool backstory. I’m stoked to have it in my collection.
