Alright, so, I finally got my hands on the CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster “Silver Snoopy Award” 50th Anniversary. Yeah, the one everyone’s been going crazy about. Let me tell you, the journey to get this watch was, well, something else.
First off, I’ve always been a huge fan of OMEGA, and the Speedmaster has a special place in my heart. Then there’s Snoopy, and who doesn’t love Snoopy, right? So, when I heard about this limited edition piece, I knew I had to get it. My heart started beating like crazy! I immediately opened my computer and started to search for relevant information.
I started by hitting up all the usual spots online, you know, the forums, the blogs, and some social media groups. I needed to know everything about this watch. The specs, the price, the availability, the history – you name it, I was on it. I went everywhere to collect information and write it down on my own notebook. I spent days and nights, reading through countless reviews and comments. It was tough, but also a lot of fun.
The tricky part was finding one, obviously. These watches were like gold dust. It was released on October 5th, 2020. When I learned that it was not a limited edition, I thought I should have a chance. But the waiting list was long, very long. I called up a few boutiques, put my name down, and then, the waiting game began. And I waited, and waited, and waited… I even started to lose hope at some point.
Meanwhile, I kept myself busy by diving deeper into the whole Snoopy and OMEGA connection. It’s a pretty cool story, actually. Did you know that OMEGA received the Silver Snoopy Award from NASA astronauts back in 1970? It was for their contribution to the Apollo 13 mission. That’s why Snoopy is on the dial and caseback – it’s a tribute to that whole story.
Anyway, after what felt like an eternity, I finally got the call. The boutique had one for me! I think they said the retail price was around €9700, but honestly, I was so excited I could barely hear them, and I was ready to pay for it no matter how much it was.
I rushed over there, paid up, and walked out with this beauty on my wrist. It was a great feeling, folks, a real great feeling. Opening the box and seeing the watch for the first time was a moment I’ll never forget. The silver dial is gorgeous, almost white, and those blue accents just pop. And the little Snoopy on the 9 o’clock subdial? Come on, how cool is that? Also, the details on this watch are incredible.
- The Dial: It has a silver dial that’s almost white. It’s super clean and the blue accents really stand out.
- The Caseback: Now, this is where it gets really fun. There’s a picture of the moon, and when you activate the chronograph, a little Snoopy in his spaceship goes on a trip around the moon! How cool is that?
- The Strap: It comes with a blue nylon fabric strap that matches the blue accents on the dial. It’s comfortable and looks great.
Wearing it feels amazing, I have to say. It’s a conversation starter, for sure. People notice it, and when they do, we end up talking about watches, space, and Snoopy. And sometimes, I just stare at it, especially the caseback animation. It’s just mesmerizing, you know? Some folks online mentioned seeing prices go as high as $30,000 at some point, but for me, this isn’t about the money. This one’s staying in my collection. It’s a keeper.
So, that’s my story of getting the CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster “Silver Snoopy Award” 50th Anniversary. A bit of a rollercoaster, but totally worth it in the end. If you’re a watch guy, a space nerd, or just a Snoopy fan, this one’s a must-have. Trust me on this.
