Omega Speedmaster “Silver Snoopy Award” 50th Anniversary
Omega’ Speedmaster “Silver Snoopy Award” 50th Anniversary is a celebration of the Maison’s affinity with the vacuum of space. In 1970, Omega received the “Silver Snoopy Award” from NASA, recognising the brand’s contributions to space exploration as well as the support that the infamous Speedmaster had during the rescue of Apollo 13. And 50 years later we have the Speedmaster “Silver Snoopy Award” 50th Anniversary, a beautiful piece with blue dial highlights and the infamous Snoopy caricature in the small-second sub-dial. This is not a limited edition piece but we all expect the Speedmaster “Silver Snoopy Award” 50th Anniversary to be very well received by collectors and enthusiasts alike.
