Snoopy, the famous beagle from the Peanuts who was chosen as a mascot by the NASA, returns to the Omega Speedmaster dial for the third time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the first two limited editions presented respectively in 2003 and 2015<\/a>, Omega celebrates the 50th anniversary of the Silver Snoopy Award received in 1970, with the new Speedmaster \u201cSilver Snoopy Award\u201d 50\u00b0 Anniversary.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As always, our favourite beagle plays a prominent role within the timepiece, first appearing as an embossed silver medallion on the blue subdial at 9 o\u2019clock<\/strong>. Here, he is shown wearing his famous spacesuit<\/strong>, in the exact style of the silver pin that NASA astronauts give to award recipients. The dial itself is also silver<\/strong> and laser-engraved with Ag925. It includes two more blue subdials, as well as blue PVD angle-shaped hour markers and hands. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the caseback, the fun really begins! This time, Snoopy has gone into orbit, thanks to his animated black and white Command and Service Module (CSM) on a magical hand. When the chronograph seconds hand is in use, Snoopy takes a trip around the mysterious far side of the moon<\/strong> with the lunar surface being decorated on the sapphire crystal using a unique micro-structured metallisation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the distance, a vision of our home is included. This Earth disc rotates once per minute, in sync with the watch\u2019s small seconds hand, and symbolises the precise rotation of the Earth<\/strong>. The iconic quote, \u201cEyes on the Stars\u201d, is included within the black universe<\/strong>. The NAIAD LOCK sistem keeps all caseback engravings in the correct, upright position<\/strong>, including the date in 1970 that OMEGA received the Silver Snoopy Award, as well as a tribute to the imperilled Apollo 13 mission that same year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the surprises don’t end there … The 42mm steel case<\/strong>, inspired by the fourth generation of the Speedmaster, is combined with a blue nylon strap that shows the trajectory of the Apollo 13 mission inside<\/strong>. The tachymeter scale, with the iconic \u201cDot over Ninety\u201d, is shown in white enamel on a blue ceramic [ZrO2] bezel ring<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new OMEGA<\/span><\/a> Speedmaster \u201cSilver Snoopy Award\u201d 50\u00b0 Anniversary<\/strong> is driven by the Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 3861 with anti-magnetic innovation<\/strong>, as well as Master Chronometer certification from the Swiss Federal Institute of Metrology (METAS). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The timepiece comes with OMEGA\u2019s full 5-year warranty<\/strong>, and will not be a limited production<\/strong>. (Price  9.700<\/strong>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
