Alright, so, I’ve been eyeing this OMEGA Speedmaster “Silver Snoopy Award” 50th Anniversary watch for a while now. It’s not just any watch, it’s the Snoopy one, you know? It’s a tribute to the award OMEGA got from NASA back in 1970. Apparently, Snoopy’s been NASA’s safety watchdog since the ’60s. Who knew, right?
So, I set my sights on the OMEGA Speedmaster “Silver Snoopy Award” 50th Anniversary watch. Yeah, that’s the one. First off, I hit up the OMEGA website, you know, just to get the official scoop. They’ve got all the latest models there. Then I dug a bit deeper. Found out that this model celebrates 50 years since NASA gave OMEGA that Silver Snoopy Award. Pretty cool piece of history.
Now, I wanted to get a feel for the real deal, not just the fancy online pics. So I started checking out some forums and blogs. There are a lot of people who try to make copies of the real deal, so I started looking for ways to spot the fakes. I read through this guide, published on December 26, 2024, and I’m pretty sure I found the real deal on the OS factory website. It’s got a stainless steel case and a blue nylon strap, looks sharp.
After much deliberation and some serious saving up, I finally decided to pull the trigger and I’ve got to say, the real thing did not disappoint. I made sure to get it from a reputable dealer, wanted to be sure it was legit.
