Alright, folks, gather ’round, let me tell you about my latest adventure – snagging the OMEGA Speedmaster “Silver Snoopy Award” 50th Anniversary watch. Yeah, I know, the name’s longer than my grocery list, but trust me, this piece is something else.
So, picture this: I’ve been eyeing this beauty for what feels like forever. I did some digging around, and found that this “Silver Snoopy Award” thing actually came out over two years ago. Can you believe it? October 5th, 2020, to be exact. Time flies when you’re lusting after a watch, I guess. It’s a tribute to the whole Apollo 13 mission, and the “Silver Snoopy Award” that OMEGA received from NASA astronauts. Pretty cool, huh?
First, I hit up the OMEGA website, drooled a bit over the pictures, and then decided, “Alright, let’s do this.” I called up my local OMEGA boutique. They actually had one in stock! I almost did a happy dance right then and there. I scheduled a visit, because, you know, gotta see this thing in person before dropping some serious cash.
The day finally arrived. I walked into that boutique, feeling like a kid in a candy store. They brought out the watch, and man, the pictures online didn’t do it justice. That blue and silver combo, the little Snoopy on the subdial, and don’t even get me started on the caseback – it’s a whole animated scene with Snoopy in his little spaceship!
- I spent a good hour, no joke, just examining every detail.
- Asked a bunch of questions to the salesperson, who was surprisingly patient with my excitement.
- Tried it on, felt the weight of it on my wrist.
- Yep, this was the one.
After some hemming and hawing, I finally pulled the trigger and bought it. Paid the full retail price, by the way, no discounts here.
I walked out of that store feeling like a million bucks. This isn’t just a watch; it’s like a little piece of history on my wrist. Plus, who can resist Snoopy, right?
Now, I’m wearing this bad boy every day, and I gotta say, it’s a conversation starter. People keep asking me about it, and I get to tell them the whole story. It’s been a blast.
It was a bit of a journey, but totally worth it. This OMEGA Speedmaster “Silver Snoopy Award” 50th Anniversary edition is definitely a keeper.
