So, let’s talk about the OMEGA Speedmaster “Silver Snoopy Award” 50th Anniversary watch. I’ve been eyeing this piece since it dropped in 2020, and I finally pulled the trigger. And let me tell you, it’s even more impressive in person.
First off, I went straight to the boutique to try it on. They were cool with it, no pressure or anything. The watch was presented on this neat little tray, and the sales guy handed it to me with these white gloves, felt super fancy. The blue and silver combo, man, it really pops. The silver dial is clean, and those blue sub-dials and bezel just complete the look.
Next, I took it home and started playing around with it. That’s when I discovered the best part. Flipping the watch over, I saw the case back. It’s not just a plain back; it’s got this cool animation with Snoopy in his spaceship, flying around the moon. It’s activated by the chronograph function. Press the start button and Snoopy goes for a ride, how fun is that?
- Unboxing:
- It comes in a pretty standard OMEGA box, but inside, there’s a special Snoopy-themed pouch and a polishing cloth. Nice touch.
- Wearing it:
- I’ve been wearing it almost every day. It’s comfortable on the wrist, and that blue nylon strap is perfect. I like the detailed Snoopy patch on it too.
- Details:
- I noticed that this watch isn’t a limited edition, unlike the previous Snoopy Speedmasters. It is still very popular and hard to get though. Some people might not like that, but I think it’s cool that more people get to enjoy it.
I also did some digging into the history of this watch. Apparently, OMEGA got the Silver Snoopy Award from NASA back in 1970. It’s like a thank-you for their watches being used in space missions, especially Apollo 13. This watch celebrates the 50th anniversary of that award.
Final Thoughts
This watch is not just a pretty face. It’s got a story, it’s got some cool features, and it’s just fun to wear. I’m glad I finally got it. Every time I look at it, I can’t help but smile, especially when I see Snoopy flying around on the back. It’s a great conversation starter, too. People are always asking about it.
If you’re a Speedmaster fan, a Snoopy fan, or just a watch fan in general, this one’s definitely worth checking out. It might be hard to get your hands on, but trust me, it’s worth the effort. You know, I heard someone say, “Snoopy is back and he’s on a mission!” It really feels like that when you have this watch. I’m excited to see where this watch takes me and what stories I’ll have to tell because of it.
