Alright, let’s talk about this OMEGA Speedmaster “Silver Snoopy Award” 50th Anniversary watch I snagged from the official store. What a journey it’s been!
So, it all started when I first saw this beauty online back in 2020. I mean, who doesn’t love Snoopy, right? And the fact that it’s tied to NASA and their history, that’s just the cherry on top. I remember reading that Snoopy has been NASA’s safety watchdog since the 60s, and this watch is a tribute to the award OMEGA got from NASA in 1970. Pretty cool, huh?
I started digging around, and learned that this wasn’t the first Snoopy Speedmaster. There were two before, one in 2003 and another in 2015. Those were limited editions, but this 50th-anniversary one? Nope, not limited, but just as hard to get your hands on. I found out that the earlier ones had 5441 and 1970 pieces, respectively.
Anyway, I decided I had to have it. So, I made my move, and finally got it from the official OMEGA flagship store.
Getting my hands on this watch was no walk in the park. But holding it now, it was all worth it. The silver dial with the blue accents on the sub-dials, it’s just gorgeous. But the real magic? It’s on the back. Unlike the previous Snoopy editions, this one takes it to a whole new level with how they used the Snoopy motif. I won’t spoil it for you, but let’s just say it’s a pleasant surprise!
So yeah, that’s my story of getting this OMEGA Speedmaster “Silver Snoopy Award” 50th Anniversary watch. It’s more than just a watch; it’s a piece of history, a conversation starter, and a reminder of a pretty amazing partnership between OMEGA and NASA.
Highlights of My Journey:
- Saw the watch online in 2020 and was immediately hooked.
- Researched its history and connection to NASA and the Silver Snoopy Award.
- Learned about the previous limited edition Snoopy Speedmasters.
- Decided to purchase it from the official store.
- Finally acquired the watch and was blown away by its design, especially the case back.
If you’re a watch guy, a space nerd, or just a Snoopy fan, this watch is something special. Trust me on this one.
