OMEGA's Best Anniversary? The "Silver Snoopy Award" Speedmaster (Design & History)

A Discussion around the Omega Speedmaster Snoopy & Silver Snoopy Award Anniversary pieces. The video looks at a brief history around NASA and the Apollo 13 Mission before focusing on the 3 different generations of Snoopy Anniversary models. The latest 50th Anniversary with an animated caseback shows us how far Omega as a brand can go, proving that watchmaking is always at the forefront of their creations. How different are these designs and which was done best? Does the most recent model have the same amount of punch as the 45th Anniversary?

Not sure why everyone says the caseback is "gimmicky". That took a lot a creativity and engineering by the design team. It fit perfectly with the sentiment of Snoopy and what the watch celebrates. Omega dreamt it up and made it a reality. Nothing "gimmicky" about it. Sheer genius and playfulness. Rolex takes themselves to serious, and Omega lets the kid inside out every once in awhile.

[@Thomas-vq5pb]

Thanks for the video IDGUY. Was going to write a comment about how the casback felt gimm..... until I read northwest at nite's comment. I see his point, especially if you consider the "commemorative" nature" of this watch. it's perhaps not meant to be a tool watch, but to celebrate one instead? Nicely done no doubt, but it still feels to me as another Omega limited edition which actually isn't limited, too convoluted for me.

[@stevefox8605]

Spot on 👍🏻

[@b.vonschnauser207]

Couldn't agree more.

[@MrSaadmubarak]

No matter what they do, people complain. Too limited... Not limited enough.... Too creative, not creative enough.... Too big... Too small.... If only they made it in this color... people are so annoying. At the end of the day, based on wait lists for this watch, it's obvious Omega got this one right.

[@jp4431]

If that is gimmicky, then one can even argue all watches are gimmicky. Calling that case back gimmicky is just ridiculous.

[@MainerInJapan]

I gotta say, out of all the Speedmasters ever made, this one probably draws me in the most. The caseback "gimmick" is indeed so cool! I love those little hidden features that make a watch not only nice to wear, but fun to play with. It gives it that little something extra that is a huge factor in a lot of the models I aim to have in my collection.

[@ID-Guy]

People take watches too seriously ;) We need more fun out of these thinks and the quirks of Snoopy is what makes it so much more entertaining. Fully agree with you Mainer. I'd love to add this watch too... let's not forget the new Master Chronometer Co-axial... Their movements are powerhouses that keep getting better and better...

[@juniorjr5328]

Will it make the watch less durable? More parts adds to complexity and fragility

[@vegetamere]

Thank you for the video. 👍🏼 I like this 50th anniversary better than the one before for 3 reasons : 1st / The caliber is way more impressive than the 45th and the animation on the case back linked to the caliber is stunning ! (The caliber is what makes a real watch). Very special watch. 2nd / The quote on the 45th anniversary is not part of appolo 13 or NASA history It’ has been romanced only because of tom hanks movie. 3 / This one will be sold more than the 1970 of the 45th bday but I m sure it will be sell less than the 1st in 2003 (5442ex) but Omega was smart enough to say that it’s not limited edition to avoid investors to buy it only for resell. But it’s official omega said it will be limited production ;) which means the same. Futur will tell. This is a Master piece. Hope I got one ! Finges crossed.

[@JeffJacquesmd]

The "Failure is not an option" quote is attributed to Gene Kranz the NASA flight director for the Apollo 13 mission. But he didn't actually utter these words, but was a coined phrase from an interview with Flight Controller Jerry Bostwick by the script writers for the movie. Watching this whilst wearing the 45th Anniversary Snoopy Speedy. As for getting the 50th Anniversary Snoopy Speedy, the US allocation was sold out with pre-orders within 24 hours of launch. At least for now Cheers

[@Maarten_official_account]

Thanks for explaining the whole Snoopy-NASA-Omega thing. I’m starting to really appreciate the Speedmaster history and this video made me appreciate it even a little more. Perhaps one day there will be a Speedy in my collection 👌

[@csmcrckrs]

A bit off-topic, but: The music in those Omega Snoopy commercials is so beautiful ... striking the perfect balance of quirky/cute/playful and eerie/sublime, again quite fitting to the watch and its themes

[@asadpetkar3921]

An amazing case back. Truly ingenious!

[@andrewbrown5636]

Probably more desirable than any Rolex reference right now. How refreshing

[@karl_m3013]

Great video as always. FYI, Gene Kranz, the flight director in the white vest uttered the words, "failure is not an option" as they were trying to figure out how to create a filtering device so the astronauts would not suffocate from CO2. Oh, and I love the watch. I grew up fascinated by the space program. I remember listening to the lunar landing as we were heading to a friend's cottage. And then watching the first steps on the moon on a B&W rabbit ear TV barely able to make out the images. Thanks for this video. Oh, and, Happy Canadian Thanksgiving. Lots of turkey on Sunday......

I really think the "Art" aspect is carried through to the caseback especially. We could call it "high horology" in a sense by how well it was done... Omega, when the dust settles, watch lovers and movement junkies agree ;)

I have never really got into the Omega / Snoopy affiliation. Seeing your historical summary was very interesting and made me appreciate the partnership quite a bit more. The watches therefore have never drawn my attention either. Focusing on them, I like the version 2 the most but, then...... I see that animated caseback and I’m immediately sold by the gimmickry! When it comes to the front of the watch, I would rather have a CK2998 and pocket the change. However, I never knew about that caseback before. What a feature! Another great video here my friend. Entertaining and Educating as always. ✊

[@Ossory88]

@@ID-Guy yes I do. Honeymoon doesnt seem to ever end with it. The playful orange is just the right dose of fun that I need to love a watch. In that regard, the exp2 and the recent snoopy have something in common: serious enough to not be regarded as a toy but with a bit tongue in cheek with a historic reference.

Salute and respect to Omega for not making this a limited edition for grey market dealers to inflate prices ! Anyone who has the means to buy at retail price can get it unlike Rolex steel sports where you have to pay a minimum of 2x retail price to get your hands on one, I am done with Rolex!

[@Thomas-vq5pb]

Hold on. It may be unlimited but I imagine it's going to be difficult to get one as production will be slow. And these watches are considered as investment watches just as much as Rolex (unfortunately).

[@robertogavilanes6304]

I was able to purchase one through my AD’s VIP Sale. Only 200 in USA. It won’t be a limited edition but it is a limited production which means it will be hard to get it.

[@arthurluz5356]

Great video! I was looking forward to this one hahahaha! I agree with your thoughts on why this watch is so good - the fun back is a really special touch while still keeping it simple and classy in the front. It might be my favorite speedmaster, even though snoopy II and last year’s Apollo 11 watches give it a run for its money!

[@joedirt6222]

I think the new snoopy is amazing. They killed it the last two generations.

[@meyergoldstein6208]

Great review IDG. I went thru an almost identical initial to current conclusion on this model. The keys to me is that it’s fun, cartoonish, unabashedly “Snoopy” and different. I liked your description of the 2015 model being serious yet playful. Whereas the 2015 seemed like a dress watch with creative doodling on the dial and a handsome artistic case back, the 50th anniversary is more sporty on the dial with an animated cartoon on the back! As always, the final tell will be when holding it in hand and viewing it on the wrist. This could easily be a cheesy watch if its execution were less than stellar (pun intended). But given Omega’s recent history I’m looking forward to seeing mine and I do expect to be impressed.

[@ID-Guy]

We could do a lot more unpacking of these pieces (kinda like any art) They're very different. More than anything, I really admire the complication and movement of this new model (so much so that I'd own it for that reason - with the added fun of wearing a Snoopy of course) - I just keep thinking, if there was a Patek, JLC or any High horology name on the dial, people wouldn't scoff at the playfulness ;) Thank you as always Meyer!

[@valleyofleafs]

[@calypso22]

I am subscribed and enjoy your videos very much, Over the last few weeks, I have noted that the sound (your voice) is now rather muffled and makes it difficult to follow sometimes. Previously, the sound was excellent. Microphone problems?

[@ID-Guy]

Hi John! A few months back I adjusted the decibels of the bass by a few notches (one of the issues with lav microphones is they can be quite weak) - Maybe it's just my ears, but the extra bass gives it a bit more roundness through headphones and larger speakers while cutting out some of the room's reverb (have a lot of echo in the house I'm staying in) One of these days I will be finding a better mic to clean it up even more. But thank you for this, you're the first to mention that the sound is muffled

[@911JB32]

Great clip, thanks!

[@OmegaFanMan]

Great video and this watch is a hit for me. Would have been nice to see command module +LEM snoopy graphic in 13 flight mode. Also would prefer not to see the command module hand (print on a clear disc?) but overall an impressive watch - tasteful, technical, respectful ..yet fun - tough to pull all that off well ..but they did it.

[@NicholasSadlier]

It's not gimmicky as it works off a complication of the watch and the 14 second Snoopy module is ingenious. In years to come this watch will be extremely highly sought after

[@willburrows8834]

The Snoopy II is undoubtably cool. The III is brilliantly goofy and the case back looks like a George Melies animation. If it was limited edition I’d be down the AD straight away. Have to think on this though!

I think the Snoopy watches are cool and still proves that Omega is not going too serious on traditional designs. Snoopy is a very iconic cartoon character compared to many and GPHG also allowed MOOMIN, another iconic cartoon character, to enter the GPHG competition. I dont see why Snoopy shouldn't while Moon enters the GPHG

Taking a wild guess, I'd imagine if anything, the prices for these would be very, very stable. They definitely will not depreciate greatly with all the features and quirks this model has. I'd compare it to the Ceramic CK2998's in a way, they have a similar pull ;) Thank you for the comment and question Ami!

[@robertn3121]

Look, I really like Omega watches. I currently own three. If Omega wants to produce another gimmicky overpriced time piece than so be it. Omega owners love to complain about Rolex as being an overpriced (on the secondary market) hard to get watch. Omega’s movements, construction and design are every bit as good as Rolex, but they absolutely kill their buzz by overproducing too many different varieties of timepieces. Rolex makes news with just minor changes to established watches because their line is very limited and time tested. You would think that adding color faces to the Rolex entry level model wouldn’t be a big deal, but it is. Omega, on the other hand keeps spitting out watches calling certain models “limited edition” watches to build the hype and then produces literally thousands. I guess if you are a big Snoopy fan this watch is appealing. I just think it is emblematic of the problems Omega creates for itself.

[@Linyuchenandrew]

I disagree, Omega produces great watches for normal people to wear. Like you say, quality wise it's every bit as good as Rolex, but an every day Joe gets to enjoy it without breaking the bank. Some are already criticizing Omega for not making this a limited edition, but I applaud them. Instead of repeating the previous formula and make something that goes up in value on the second hand market, they made it not limited so more people can have access to this great innovative watch.

All the looooosers wanted to make insane money with an other limited edition snoopy. When that did not happen panties went into a twist and the new watch was just not, "on the same level." Daytona is more awesome because you have to pay money and wait years for it, this snoopy is less cool because Omega does not play that game. When other watch makers put animations on their models then its watch making art but god forbid Omega put a snoopy on the caseback then its just gimmicky. Secretly everybody wanted a flipper.

Unbelievable what the Snoopy 2 trades for second hand. For my money, you'd have to be an idiot to buy the 2 over the 3 for a fraction of the price.

If you've got a hard-on for a Snoopy watch, you can pick up a Snoopy-TImex for about $100. You're welcome.

Snoopy.....lol and why not ice princess ridiculous......

Get the Omega TinTin instead, Amazing story and very very limited production!!

[@jjlad5037]

It's without a doubt, the most hideous new release I've seen all year. From the choice of the latest blue fad, to the lack of a bracelet, to the childish rear-case cartoon which hides a lovely movement. Time will not be kind to this watch. No doubt the hype will allow Omega to sell thousands of these watches, however unlike the 45th, this edition will be shunned in the future. Omega really jumped the shark with this edition. One last comment, I'm pleased you didn't gush all over this watch like so many other reviewers...still what praise you do offer, is undeserved.

Thanks for this JJ. All watches aren't for everyone. What I do enjoy is that they are a brand that can bring out a faithful recreation of an Ed White (movement and all) but can also venture into these kinds of creative territories that aren't as restrained. Gotta give them props when it comes to variety ;) It's definitely not a watch that grabbed my attention at first (didn't even feel motivated to make a separate video on it - but the whole "Silver Snoopy" story made it more compelling to cover) - And the movement... So stoked that they've made it a co-axial with all the new trimmings!

Obviously not seen some of the new rolex's then.

@@garyboyle695 LOL....I reserve comment.

[@bigmacdaddy1234]

Nope. It is a beautiful and time will be very kind to this watch. it will be a collectable for sure.

[@Nefville]

...no lol sorry that's all I have. At retail yes, otherwise NO!

[@ID-Guy]

Of course! The prices the Gen 2 is going for is frankly ridiculous... I bet for the 55th Anni. they'll be bringing it out in green ;)
