The Omega Speedmaster “Silver Snoopy Award” 50th Anniversary isn’t just a tribute—it’s a poetic salute to precision under pressure and one of the most defining moments in NASA’s Apollo program. In 1970, Omega was presented with the prestigious Silver Snoopy Award by NASA astronauts for its vital role in the safe return of Apollo 13. This commemorative edition, released in 2020, distills that legacy into a 42mm chronograph rich in both narrative and nuance.

Housed in polished stainless steel, the case is classic Speedmaster—sharp lyre lugs, a thin profile, and purposeful presence. The silver dial features blue PVD-treated subdials and hands, while at 9 o’clock, Snoopy himself appears in a spacesuit, faithfully reproduced as on the original NASA award pin. Framing it all is a polished blue ceramic bezel, inlaid with a white enamel tachymeter scale—a nod to Omega’s commitment to functional beauty.

Inside beats the METAS-certified Co-Axial Caliber 3861, a hand-wound movement that delivers not only chronometer-level precision, but magnetic resistance up to 15,000 gauss and a 50-hour power reserve. The chronograph layout remains faithful to the Moonwatch formula, but what sets this piece apart lies on the reverse.

Flip the watch over and you’re greeted with a caseback unlike any other. When the chronograph is engaged, a miniature Snoopy, seated in his Command and Service Module, embarks on a silent orbit around the moon—an intricate mechanical animation set against a finely textured lunar backdrop and star-speckled night sky. It’s a touch of storytelling rarely seen in a Speedmaster, yet fully earned in this case.

Paired with a blue nylon fabric strap, subtly stitched with Apollo 13’s flight path, the watch is both tribute and talisman—a reminder of what can be achieved when precision, resilience, and human ingenuity align.
