So, I wanted to get my hands on this Omega Speedmaster “Silver Snoopy Award” 50th Anniversary watch. I’d heard it was a big deal, a tribute to the award NASA gave Omega back in 1970. This year is the 50th anniversary of that, so I figured it’s now or never, right?
First off, I hit up the specialty stores. I knew this wasn’t some limited edition thing, but still, it felt special. They had this fancy box for it and everything. Inside, it’s got this Omega Co-axial Master Chronometer Calibre 3861 movement, which sounds super technical but basically means it’s a top-notch, reliable engine. It looks really nice inside, I love the details.
What caught my eye was the silver dial. It’s made of solid silver, like, Ag925 solid silver, with some pretty neat laser engravings. And it’s all packed in this 42mm stainless steel case, with a blue bezel.
Now, I’ve been reading up on how to spot a copy. Apparently, there are a bunch of knock-offs out there. One tip I found was to check the movement. If it doesn’t match the original Omega movement then I would know it is a fake one. I made sure to inspect it closely when I was at the store, because I really don’t want to be fooled and spend so much money on a fake watch.
- High-quality movement, designed to the original.
- Intricate detailing and finishing.
- Silver dial made from solid silver.
Here is a summary about this watch:
In the end, I decided to pull the trigger. I mean, it’s the “Silver Snoopy Award” 50th Anniversary. I have been waiting for a long time! It’s not every day you get to celebrate something like this. Plus, I even managed to snag one that’s unworn with a 4-year warranty. I would like to share it with you all and hope you like it!
