Okay, let’s talk about this Omega Speedmaster, the “Silver Snoopy Award” 50th Anniversary edition. I’ve been eyeing this watch for a while. The first thing I did was check out the details online. I mean, who wouldn’t? It’s a Snoopy-themed Speedmaster!
I started digging around, trying to find out when this thing even dropped. Turns out, it was launched on October 5th. That’s a pretty cool detail, making it a real anniversary piece. Then I learned that this watch is actually not a limited edition. Not sure what Omega was thinking about that, making it so hard to get one! I went to the store near my house and the staff told me it will take a long time to wait. I can’t stand the waiting so I bought one from a watch collector.
What got me hooked was the case back. Previous Snoopy editions just had a small Snoopy image, but this one is different. It’s a whole scene! I watched a ton of videos, and the way they incorporated Snoopy into the movement is just wild. This is not your average watch, man. It’s like a mini-movie on your wrist.
- First impressions: When I finally got my hands on it, I was blown away. The blue and silver color scheme is even better in person.
- Wearing it around: It’s comfortable, not too heavy, but it definitely gets noticed. I’ve had a few people ask me about it already.
- The movement: I keep finding myself just staring at the back. It’s mesmerizing. How can someone make this amazing movement?
Is it worth the hype?
For me, yeah. I love Snoopy, I love watches, and this one combines both in a really unique way. I wore it to a friend’s party. My friend, Jack, who is also a watch guy, kept staring at it. He even asked if he could hold it. But is it for everyone? Maybe not. It’s definitely a collector’s piece, and the price tag reflects that. I’ve heard some rumors about the price possibly dropping, but who knows. Anyway, I heard that there won’t be a Silver Snoopy iteration in 2025 but maybe an Apollo-soyuz 50th anniversary. For now, I’m just enjoying this watch, and honestly, it brings a smile to my face every time I look at it.
