Omega Speedmaster Anniversary Series Silver Snoopy 42mm 310.32.42.50.02.001 2025 [Preowned]

Overview 

The Omega Speedmaster “Silver Snoopy Award” 50th Anniversary is a mechanical tribute to one of the most harrowing and triumphant chapters in space exploration. Released in 2020, this reference commemorates the prestigious award presented to Omega by NASA astronauts in 1970, recognizing the Speedmaster’s life-saving role in timing the critical engine burns during the Apollo 13 mission. Far from a standard limited edition, this "Snoopy" has become a modern grail, blending high-watchmaking whimsy with the austere legacy of the Professional Moonwatch.

The 42mm stainless steel case maintains the classic fourth-generation Speedmaster proportions, featuring the iconic lyre lugs and a blue ceramic [ZrO2] bezel ring with the "Dot Over Ninety" (DON) tachymeter scale. The dial is crafted from solid Ag925 silver, laser-engraved to create a crisp, stepped surface that hosts three contrasting blue sub-dials. At 9 o’clock, a silver medallion depicts Snoopy in his spacesuit, mirroring the actual pin given to Omega employees by NASA. This blue-on-silver palette, paired with the blue nylon fabric strap, gives the watch a fresh, nautical-meets-celestial aesthetic that remains highly legible and distinct from the standard black Moonwatch.

Inside beats the Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 3861, a manual-winding movement that represents the pinnacle of Omega’s modern engineering. Certified by METAS, this movement is resistant to magnetic fields up to 15,000 gauss and features a 50-hour power reserve. While it honors the architecture of the historic Calibre 861, it introduces the friction-reducing Co-Axial escapement and a silicon balance spring, ensuring the watch remains a high-precision instrument capable of surviving the rigors of modern daily life or a lunar voyage.

The true "magic" of this reference is found on the NAIAD LOCK caseback. Under a sapphire crystal, a photorealistic Moon is depicted in the foreground, with Earth rotating once per minute in sync with the running seconds hand. When the chronograph is activated, Snoopy appears in his Command and Service Module (CSM), "traveling" behind the Moon in a kinetic animation that mirrors the Apollo 13 flight path. This hidden mechanical theater, complete with the famous quote "Eyes on the Stars," transforms the watch into a storytelling device, making it one of the most emotionally resonant and technically playful timepieces in Omega’s history.
