Okay, here’s my story about getting that OMEGA Speedmaster “Silver Snoopy Award” 50th Anniversary watch.
I’ve always been a watch guy. Not a super serious collector, but I like a good timepiece. And I’ve had my eye on the OMEGA Speedmaster for a while. It’s got that whole NASA history thing going on, which is pretty cool. So, when I saw they were doing a special 50th Anniversary “Silver Snoopy Award” edition, I knew I had to check it out.
First thing I did was hit up the official OMEGA website. You know, just to get the basic info and see some pretty pictures. They had all the specs and details about the watch there, pretty standard stuff. It confirmed that it’s part of the Speedmaster Moonwatch Collection. Nice to know the official source. There’s a lot about free delivery on orders over $100, but that’s probably not going to be an issue with a watch like this, huh?
Then I started digging around to see what the deal was with pricing and availability. Some listings online were showing around $18,250 for a new one, from 2024. That’s a chunk of change, no doubt. I also found some info about a 2015 Snoopy model, the ref. 311.32.42.30.04.003, which was presented at Baselworld that year. It seems like these Snoopy editions are kind of a big deal.
After that, I checked out some watch forums and places like Chrono24 to see what people were saying. There are quite a few of these ref. 310.32.42.50.02.001 watches out there. It’s interesting how the price can change depending on the condition of the watch. Plus, it’s cool to learn that OMEGA and NASA have a long history together. Makes the watch feel even more special.
So, I spent a few weeks really thinking about it. This wasn’t a small purchase, so I wanted to be sure. I read more about the history of the Speedmaster, the whole Snoopy and NASA connection, and I just kept coming back to how much I liked this particular model. It is kind of a history of watch.
Finally, I decided to pull the trigger. I found a pre-owned one, a 2022 model, ref. 310.32.42.50.02.001, from a reputable seller. It wasn’t cheap, but I felt good about it.
My Final Thoughts
Now that I’ve had it for a while, I can say it’s definitely worth it. It’s a beautiful watch, and it feels great on the wrist. Plus, knowing the story behind it makes it even more enjoyable to wear. This will not be my last watch, that’s for sure!
