Review: Omega Speedmaster “Silver Snoopy Award” 50th Anniversary

The Omega Speedmaster “Silver Snoopy Award” 50th Anniversary is a masterpiece that marries historical significance, innovative design, and impeccable watchmaking. This 42mm stainless steel chronograph pays tribute to Omega’s pivotal role in space exploration, including its crucial contribution to the safe return of Apollo 13 in 1970.

Design and Aesthetics

The watch boasts a silver dial complemented by blue PVD hour markers and hands, lending a modern yet timeless look. The highlight of the dial is the embossed silver Snoopy medallion at the 9 o’clock subdial, a playful yet elegant nod to the “Silver Snoopy Award” presented to Omega.

The blue ceramic bezel with a white enamel tachymeter scale adds a vibrant touch, while the blue nylon fabric strap features the embossed trajectory of the Apollo 13 mission on its lining—a thoughtful detail that connects the watch to its historic inspiration.

Caseback: A Celestial Theater

The caseback is where the “Silver Snoopy Award” 50th Anniversary truly shines. It features a dynamic depiction of Snoopy piloting the Command and Service Module (CSM) around the far side of the moon. This animation is activated by the chronograph seconds hand, creating a mesmerizing orbital journey. Adding to the celestial theme, a rotating Earth disc synchronizes with the small seconds hand, enhancing the watch’s storytelling and visual appeal.

The moon’s surface is beautifully rendered on scratch-resistant sapphire crystal using micro-structured metallization, a testament to Omega’s dedication to intricate craftsmanship.
