Okay, so, today I am going to talk about this Omega Speedmaster “Silver Snoopy Award” 50th Anniversary watch. Let me tell you, this thing is a beauty. I’ve been eyeing it for a while, and I finally decided to pull the trigger and add it to my collection.
First off, I did some digging around. I found out that this watch isn’t a limited edition like the older Snoopy models. Omega made a bunch of the first Snoopy back in 2003, like 5,441 pieces, and then they made a white one in 2015, but only 1,970 of those. This new one? They’re just making them as they go.
I went to see the real thing. The watch is a tribute to some award Omega got from NASA in 1970. Apparently, Snoopy has been NASA’s safety mascot since the ’60s. I learned that this specific model is to celebrate the 50th anniversary of that award. They call it the Omega Speedmaster Professional Silver Snoopy Award 50th Anniversary, and the model number is 310.32.42.50.02.001. It’s got a stainless steel case and a blue nylon strap, which looks pretty sharp.

Then, I got into the guts of the watch. It’s powered by something called the Omega Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 3861. That’s a bunch of technical jargon, but it’s supposed to be impressive. The watch has a 42mm case and a silver dial. It looks really clean and classic.
After all that research and seeing it in person, I decided to go for it. I placed the order, and it arrived a few days later. Unboxing it was a real treat. Holding it in my hands, it felt solid and well-made. I wound it up, set the time, and strapped it on. It’s been on my wrist ever since, and I’ve been loving it. It’s not just a watch; it’s a piece of history.
So, that’s my story with the Omega Speedmaster “Silver Snoopy Award” 50th Anniversary watch. It was a journey from researching, to seeing it, to finally owning it. I am happy to share this and recommend it to anyone who’s into watches or space stuff. This is a must-have in your collection.
