MADE TO COMMEMORATE THE 50TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE “SILVER SNOOPY AWARD”, SPEEDMASTER ANNIVERSARY SERIES, REF. 310.32.42.50.02.001, CASE NO. 88’465’456

The “Silver Snoopy Award” is a prestigious recognition within the NASA community. First presented in 1968, this award was part of the Manned Flight Awareness program whereby NASA astronauts selected and awarded companies and members of the community who contributed to space travel. Omega was awarded the Silver Snoopy Award in 1970, when the Omega Speedmaster successfully helped time the launch back to earth during the Apollo 13 crisis following an oxygen tank explosion that jeopardized the mission. The “Silver Snoopy Award” continues today, and holds the same importance some forty years since its inception.

The present watch, the “Silver Snoopy Award” 50th Anniversary, is a special edition chronograph celebrating the Snoopy lineage in Omega’s collection. This is the third in the series with the first Snoopy-related Speedmaster released in 2003.
