OMEGA Speedmaster Silver Snoopy Award 50th Anniversary Watch 310.32.42.50.02.001

The OMEGA Speedmaster Silver Snoopy Award 50th Anniversary 42mm (Ref. 310.32.42.50.02.001) commemorates the prestigious Silver Snoopy Award presented to OMEGA by NASA astronauts in 1970, recognising the brand’s critical role during Apollo 13’s dramatic rescue mission. The truly innovative animated caseback features Snoopy travelling in his Command Module across the lunar surface whilst Earth rotates in sync with the seconds hand, creating mesmerising mechanical artistry.

At 42mm with classic Speedmaster proportions, this maintains authentic Moonwatch heritage whilst incorporating extraordinary animated complications that operate independently of timekeeping functions. The silver dial with blue PVD angle-shaped markers and embossed Snoopy medallion on the blue subdial creates striking space-themed aesthetic, whilst the blue ceramic bezel references the original Moonwatch design.

The Master Chronometer Calibre 3861 delivers 15,000 gauss magnetic resistance with 50-hour power reserve through Co-Axial escapement technology that reduces friction whilst maintaining manual winding character essential to Speedmaster heritage. METAS certification validates precision across eight rigorous tests whilst preserving the 21,600 vibrations per hour frequency of original Moonwatch movements.

The blue nylon fabric strap features Apollo 13’s actual mission trajectory embossed on the lining, creating tangible connection to the dramatic rescue mission where astronauts relied on Speedmaster chronographs for critical engine burn timing that ensured safe return to Earth.

This Speedmaster Silver Snoopy Award suits collectors seeking genuine horological innovation beyond typical commemorative editions. The animated caseback delivers mechanical creativity rarely encountered in modern watchmaking whilst the authentic NASA heritage and Apollo 13 connection provide compelling space exploration credentials that transcend superficial space-themed styling.
