Today, I really got into something special – the OMEGA Speedmaster “Silver Snoopy Award” 50th Anniversary Classic Style. This thing, it’s not just any watch. It dropped in 2020, and let me tell you, it’s been a hot item ever since. Not because it’s some limited edition piece, but because of what it represents and how it’s put together.
First off, I started digging around for what makes this watch tick. I found out it’s not a limited edition, which honestly surprised me. I mean, look at it, it’s gorgeous! But it’s the story behind it that really gets you. It’s all about celebrating NASA, the Apollo 13 mission, and that Silver Snoopy Award. So, I dove deeper. I watched some videos, read some articles, just soaking it all in.
Then, I got my hands on the watch itself. The silver dial with those blue accents on the sub-dials, man, it’s something else. It’s like they took a piece of the sky and put it on your wrist. And that special presentation box it comes in? Classy. It feels like you’re opening up a piece of history.
- Admired the Dial: The silver and blue just pop. It’s clean, it’s sharp, and it makes you want to stare at it all day.
- Checked Out the Caseback: This is where the magic happens. I spent a good amount of time just looking at the animation. It’s like a little movie on your wrist.
- Tried It On: Felt great on the wrist. Not too heavy, not too light. Just right.
After that, I wanted to know more about the movement. This thing is powered by the OMEGA Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 3861. Sounds fancy, right? It basically means it’s super accurate and can handle magnetic fields like a champ. I’m no watchmaker, but I appreciate the craftsmanship. It’s like they built a tiny, powerful engine just for your wrist.
I spent the rest of the day just wearing it around, showing it off to a couple of friends. Everyone was impressed, not just by how it looks, but by the story it tells. And honestly, that’s what got me hooked in the first place.
Wrap-Up

It’s a story, a piece of art, and a nod to one of humanity’s coolest achievements. If you ever get the chance, check it out. It’s worth it.
