Today, I wanna talk about my recent deep dive into the world of the OMEGA Speedmaster “Silver Snoopy Award” 50th Anniversary watch. I’ve always been a fan of these, and this one’s really something special. I mean, who doesn’t love Snoopy, right?
So, the first thing I did was to dig up everything I could find online about this watch. It is a tribute to the “Silver Snoopy Award” that NASA gave to OMEGA in 1970. And I saw this watch was released in 2020, I was immediately drawn to its blue and white color scheme. It’s just so classic and clean-looking. It’s got this 42mm steel case, which feels solid on the wrist, and a blue ceramic bezel that’s just eye-catching.
Unboxing and First Impressions
Next, I went to find a good deal to purchase this. It wasn’t easy, let me tell you. Finally, after a long wait, I finally got my hands on the watch, and let me tell you, it was quite an experience. The presentation box itself is a treat! It comes with a special presentation box. This is a non-limited edition. Opening it up, the first thing that hit me was just how stunning the watch looks in person. The pictures online don’t do it justice. That blue and white dial is just beautiful. I carefully put it on my wrist, and it felt just right. The size, the weight, everything was perfect.
Digging into the Details
I spent the next few days just wearing the watch and getting a feel for it. This isn’t just a pretty face; it’s a serious piece of machinery. It’s powered by the OMEGA Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 3861, which is apparently a big deal in the watch world. I’m no expert, but I do know that it means the watch is super accurate and can handle magnetic fields like a champ.
And then there’s Snoopy. He’s not just chilling on the dial; he’s got his own little animation on the case back. When you activate the chronograph, Snoopy goes on a little mission around the moon in his spaceship. It’s such a cool and unique detail that always makes me smile. I started showing it off to my friends, and they were all blown away by the little Snoopy animation. It’s a real conversation starter.
Living with the Speedmaster
- Wearing it Daily: I’ve been wearing this watch every day since I got it, and it’s been a joy. It’s comfortable, it looks great with everything, and it’s always a pleasure to check the time.
- Showing it Off: I’m not gonna lie; I love showing this watch off. Everyone who sees it is impressed, and it’s always fun to talk about the history and the story behind it.
- Admiring the Craftsmanship: Every time I look at this watch, I’m amazed by the level of detail and craftsmanship that went into it. It’s truly a work of art.
So, there you have it. That’s my journey with the OMEGA Speedmaster “Silver Snoopy Award” 50th Anniversary watch so far. This is an exceptional Speedmaster. It’s been an amazing experience, and I’m looking forward to many more years of enjoying this beautiful timepiece. It’s not just a watch; it’s a piece of history, a conversation starter, and a little piece of joy on my wrist.
