Today, I wanted to dive into something pretty cool that I got my hands on recently. It’s the CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster “Silver Snoopy Award” 50th Anniversary. Yeah, that’s a mouthful, but trust me, it’s worth talking about. I have been looking for this watch for a long time.
First off, I started by scouring the web for info. I mean, who doesn’t do a bit of online research before getting something like this, right? So, I looked through a bunch of sites, forums, and even some watch enthusiast blogs. I found the official information about this watch is it released in 2020. What I gathered was that this watch is a big deal in the watch world, especially since it’s celebrating 50 years of the Silver Snoopy Award, which is pretty neat.
Then, I got down to the nitty-gritty. This particular model, the 310.32.42.50.02.001, it’s got a 42mm steel case. It’s not too big, not too small, just the right size for my wrist. And the bezel? It’s blue ceramic, which looks really sharp against the silver dial. The dial itself is something else – silver with blue accents on the sub-dials. It’s got that classic Speedmaster look, but with a unique twist.
I also learned that there were previous Speedmaster watches dedicated to Snoopy, but this one is special. It’s not a limited edition like the earlier ones, which is kind of cool because it means more people can get their hands on it. The first Omega Snoopy (2003) was limited to 5,441 pieces while the White Snoopy (2015) was limited to only 1,970 pieces. The current Silver Snoopy debuted in 2020 and is not a limited edition. I thought it’s good news.
And I compared the 50th Anniversary version with the older ones. Both are limited editions, but the first one had 5441 pieces, which is the length of time the Apollo 13 mission lasted. The second one, for the 45th anniversary, had just 1970 pieces, the year of the award. This 50th Anniversary version, though, it’s driven by the OMEGA Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 3861. I’m no watch expert, but that sounds pretty impressive, right?
Getting My Hands on It
So, after all that research, I finally decided to get one. I found a seller who had it in stock – a full set, no less. It even came with the original bracelet, which is a nice touch. When I finally got it, I was like a kid on Christmas morning. I carefully opened the box, and there it was, in all its glory. It looked even better in person than in the pictures. I put it on immediately, and man, it felt good on my wrist. I worn it for several days. It’s comfortable and accurate.
The watch feels solid, well-made, and it’s got that timeless Speedmaster vibe. It’s good to wear it everyday. Wearing it around, I’ve gotten a few compliments, which is always nice. It’s not just a watch; it’s a conversation starter. People ask about it, and I get to share a bit of its history and why it’s special.
Final Thoughts
- Look and Feel: The watch looks fantastic with its silver and blue color scheme. It feels great on the wrist, too – not too heavy, not too light.
- Uniqueness: It’s a unique piece, celebrating a special anniversary. It’s cool to have something that not everyone else has.
- Conversation Starter: People notice it and ask about it, which is fun. I like sharing the story behind the watch.
All in all, getting this CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster “Silver Snoopy Award” 50th Anniversary has been a blast. It’s more than just a way to tell time; it’s a piece of history, a nod to space exploration, and a pretty stylish accessory to boot. If you’re into watches, or even if you’re just looking for something special, I’d say this one is worth checking out. I am so happy that I finally got this watch.
