Speedmaster Silver Snoopy Award

The Omega Speedmaster Silver Snoopy Award celebrates NASA’s recognition of Omega’s crucial role in the Apollo missions, making it a standout among Speedmasters. This edition is especially notable for its playful yet meaningful design details—most famously, Snoopy himself on the dial and caseback—directly referencing the Silver Snoopy Award given to Omega by NASA in 1970. Its blend of space heritage and whimsical artistry has made it a highly sought-after piece among collectors who appreciate both history and character.

Key references include the 3578.51.00 (2003), 311.32.42.30.04.003 (2015), and the 310.32.42.50.02.001 (2020 “50th Anniversary” edition). Differences span dial design, caseback animation, and movement—earlier models use the manual-wind Omega calibre 1861, while the 2020 release features the calibre 3861 with a co-axial escapement and METAS certification. The most recent version also introduces a blue-and-silver colorway and a caseback with an animated Snoopy in a Command Module, driving up both demand and price.

Price variation hinges on edition year, production numbers, and condition—especially full sets with original Snoopy-themed packaging. The 2020 model, with its advanced movement and technical upgrades, commands the highest premiums, while earlier editions are prized for their scarcity and direct Apollo-era links. Expect strong competition for unworn or complete examples, as all Silver Snoopy Award Speedmasters are produced in limited quantities and tend to appreciate after release.
