Alright, folks, let’s dive into my little adventure with the OMEGA Speedmaster “Silver Snoopy Award” 50th Anniversary edition. I gotta say, getting my hands on this watch was quite the experience, and I’m here to share all the nitty-gritty details with you.
First off, I started my journey by searching all over for an online store that had this bad boy in stock. It wasn’t easy, let me tell you. This watch is pretty popular, and many stores were either sold out or had some crazy waiting lists. But I was determined, you know? So I kept digging.
After many hours of searching and comparing, I finally found a store that had it. I double-checked everything – the model number, 310.32.42.50.02.001, the year of production, and made sure it came with the original box and papers. I mean, if you’re getting a special edition like this, you want the whole package, right?
I placed my order. The wait was agonizing, but hey, good things come to those who wait. And it was worth it!
Unboxing Day
When the package finally arrived, I was like a kid on Christmas morning. I carefully opened the box, and there it was – the OMEGA Speedmaster Silver Snoopy, in all its glory. The silver dial with those blue accents on the sub-dials, bezel, and strap just looked amazing. It’s one of those things you have to see in person to truly appreciate. I also noticed that it featured the OMEGA Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 3861.
The Caseback Magic
Now, here’s the coolest part. I flipped the watch over, and the caseback was something else. It had this animated Snoopy in his Command and Service Module. It’s not just a static image; it actually moves! I spent a good chunk of time just playing with it, watching Snoopy go on his little mission. This is to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Silver Snoopy Award. Pretty neat, huh?
Wearing It Out
Of course, I couldn’t wait to put it on. The 42mm case size felt just right on my wrist. It’s got some weight to it, but not too much – just enough to remind you that you’re wearing something special. I started wearing it out, and man, did it turn heads. People were curious, asking about it, and I was more than happy to share the story of the Silver Snoopy Award and how OMEGA got it from NASA back in the day.
The Verdict
- Looks: 10/10. The silver and blue combo is a winner.
- Caseback: 11/10. That animated Snoopy is just too cool.
- Comfort: Super comfortable. Wears well all day.
- Cool Factor: Off the charts. It’s a conversation starter for sure.
So, there you have it. My journey to get the OMEGA Speedmaster “Silver Snoopy Award” 50th Anniversary edition was a bit of a rollercoaster, but totally worth it. This watch isn’t just a timepiece; it’s a piece of history, a conversation starter, and a really cool accessory. If you can get your hands on one, I highly recommend it. It’s a fun, unique watch that brings a smile to your face every time you look at it.
Anyway, that’s my story. Hope you enjoyed the ride!
