In honor of the Silver Snoopy Award presented to Omega by NASA in 1970, this timepiece pays tribute to the brand’s deep roots in space history, especially during Apollo 13. It is a tribute packed with character, made for collectors who appreciate storytelling, history, and a touch of whimsy on the wrist.
Presents itself in mint condition with little to no signs of wear. The silver dial features blue counters and a charming Snoopy medallion – suited up and ready, just like he was when NASA first introduced him as their safety mascot during the space race era. Its dial, blue counters, and blue ceramic bezel complement the stainless steel case, which features a mix of brushed and high-polished finishes.
Functions include hours, minutes, seconds, and chronograph counters. The minute hand can be adjusted using the pull-out crown of the right side of the watch. On the caseback, Snoopy appears inside his Command and Service Module (CSM) on a magical hand. When the chronograph seconds hand is used, Snoopy takes a trip around the far side of the moon.
Comes as a full set, double-boxed and presented in the Apollo 13 presentation box with a Silver Snoopy Award patch on the lid. Included are the watch pillow, travel case, warranty card, chronometer card, pictogram card, and an extra blue nylon fabric strap.
Collectors and space fans value this watch not just for its limited production, but for what it represents – Omega’s crucial role in the Apollo 13 mission and its deep-rooted connection with NASA. It brings a sense of fun to a serious tool watch, perfect for those who want their pieces to come with personality and a great story. So, whether you’re exploring new frontiers or just heading out the door, this one keeps perfect timing.
