  • Catalogue Essay

    First presented in 1968, the “Silver Snoopy Award” was a part of NASA’s Manned Flight Awareness program, where astronauts were encouraged to recognize and award outside companies and individuals who contributed “outstanding achievements related to human flight safety or mission success.” The award is presented by the astronauts themselves as recognition of all-around excellence.
    Omega was awarded the Silver Snoopy Award in 1970, when the Speedmaster Professional successfully helped astronauts on Apollo 13 navigate back to Earth after an oxygen tank exploded and jeopardized their mission. The Silver Snoopy Award continues to this day, and it still holds the same significance more than 50 years later.

    The present special-edition chronograph, the Speedmaster Professional “Silver Snoopy Award” 50th Anniversary, was released in 2020 and commemorates the Speedmaster’s one-of-a-kind role in the history of space exploration. This is actually the third Snoopy-related Speedmaster to be released since 2003. The current edition retains the classic Speedmaster Professional case design that carries back to the 1960s with the original ref. ST105.012.

    NASA’s favorite beagle once again adorns the dial – but wait, flip the watch over and you’ll find a whimsical mechanical animation featuring Snoopy once again, visible through the sapphire exhibition caseback. The movement is covered with a night blue plate featuring white dots, representing outer space. From a perspective that looks like you’re sitting on the Moon itself, you can view a rotating Earth, as well as a flying NASA Command and Service Module with Snoopy inside.

    In brand new, unworn condition and with full accessories, this is an excellent opportunity to acquire Omega's most recent “Snoopy” Speedmaster.

  • Artist Biography

    Omega

    Swiss • 1848

    Omega's rich history begins with its founder, Louis Brandt, who established the firm in 1848 in La Chaux de Fonds. In 1903, the company changed its name to Omega, becoming the only watch brand in history to have been named after one its own movements. A full-fledged manufacturer of highly accurate, affordable and reliable watches, its sterling reputation enabled them to be chosen as the first watch company to time the Olympic Games beginning in 1932. Its continued focus on precision and reliability ultimately led their Speedmaster chronograph wristwatch to be chosen by NASA in 1965 — the first watch worn on the moon.

    Key models sought-after by collectors include their first, oversized water-resistant chronograph — the reference 2077, early Speedmaster models such as the CK 2915 and 2998, military-issued versions of the Seamaster and oversized chronometer models such as those fitted with their prestigious caliber 30T2Rg.
