Omega's Speedmaster "Silver Snoopy Award" 50th Anniversary

[AtomicTom]

Did you guys check out Omega's new Speedmaster Silver Snoopy Award
50th Anniversary by chance?

This new Special Edition celebrates the 50th anniversary of Apollo 13,
along with Snoopy Award NASA awarded Omega. With details like a
42mm stainless steel case, 50M WR, sapphire crystal, ceramic bezel
with tachymeter scale, silver dial with blue hands, markers, and sub-
dials, and cool Snoopy too. Then, on top of all of that, you have the
in-house Calibre 3861 hand wound master chronometer chronograph
movement, behind special decorated NAIAD LOCK case-back, and nice
blue nylon fabric strap too.


Here is a look...














Monochrome, and Omega with this, and more...

Cool isn't it Art?! Guess it's almost like a precursor of what the new
Speedmasters will be like like you are saying. That's neat in itself really.
Thanks so much for that news sir, and so glad you enjoyed this one !

It’s nice, but needs a bracelet. And it’s $10K. Those prices just keep climbing. Which is good because I’m ok with my three Speedmasters, and really don’t need another one.

I like this one, and it's nice to have the 3861 movement. Not gonna buy it, but it's a nice overall package.

Have you seen what the 45th anniversary Silver Snoopy Award Speedy is commanding on the second hand market? It's crazy - I see them listed at $40,000. I'm pretty sure it retailed somewhere in the mid to upper four figures.

Yes but this one is a non-LE, subjectively less cool, and I doubt it will command a significant increase over retail on the second -hand market.

Probably right, especially since it's a non-limited edition. The moving snoopy capsule and the rotating earth on the caseback are cool features on this one, even if they serve no practical purpose.

I like it, but still would rather spend that kind of money on a Japan Racing Speedy for example

[tmw]

I love it, and will have one!

I think this is the best of the speedmaster LEs. by far. You might say the classic movement speedmasters, but this one rocks.

[Joeprez]

I really, really like it! Being a non-LE, I will probably be able to grab one later, for less. Have everyone seen the video showing how the case back moves? Really cool.

A friend actually put down a deposit for one, he's still not sure if he will go ahead with the purchase (because its a non-LE).

You spend more time waiting for watches than enjoying them

Can't really blame them, when you see how much is the "white dial" Snoopy commanding in the second hand market.

Yeah,I guess if you think about watches as investments. But I can't wrap my head around not buying a watch one likes because it's not an LE.

I agree, but if I could go back in time and choose one watch to buy, that Snoopy is the one. It isn't like a Nautilus that was already out of reach for me even before the recent craziness. I could have afforded the Snoopy when it came out, and now I could sell it, re-do my deck and install central air.

So I can see someone hoping that would be replicated, but it definitely won't if this isn't an LE.

[R_Ongjoco]

I'm confused. If it's a 50th Anniversary watch, how is it not an LE? Does "non-LE" simply mean they will not limit production to a specific number or will they continue producing it every year?

I agree with both of you. I dont "invest" in watches, but if I would have been able to grab the white Snoopy (I tried), I might have sold it to make some money. Mind you, I tried to buy it because I liked it... I would have never thought that it would become such an expensive piece down the line.

Maybe it will be limited to 2020 production or some number of pieces (5,000?), but its not numbered (at least on the watch), so there is no way to know how many Omega will manufacture.

Thanks. I guess similar to the 16610LV where they produced it for the 50th anniversary of the Submariner but it wasn't an LE (since Rolex doesn't really do LE).

Yeah, that watch is the very definition of lightning in a bottle. The rise in Rolex prices has been extreme, but it was predictable. While I don't think anyone is surprised that the Snoopy increased in value, the amount by which it has is pretty shocking (at least to me).

he may be the smart one. i mean, "waiting for a watch" is a lot less expensive than buying one.

Can anyone point me to any sold watches at that price? I searched sold listings on eBay and came up empty. None of the other internet listings in the $40K range are marked 'sold'.

'listed at' is not the same as 'selling for'.

But when they nail it I follow through
