Description: COLLECTIBLE FULL SET THE SPEEDMASTER "SILVER SNOOPY AWARD" 50TH ANNIVERSARY Include Original Snoopy Blue Strap and Original Omega MoonWatch Bracelet THE SPEEDMASTER SNOOPY There have been previous Speedmaster watches dedicated to Snoopy – but none quite like this! Combining animation with watchmaking art, OMEGA has produced a timepiece of exceptional style. You’re sure to spend hours admiring the details. DESCRIPTION This 50th anniversary timepiece pays tribute to the “Silver Snoopy Award” that OMEGA received from NASA astronauts in 1970, in recognition of the brand’s contributions to space exploration, including the Apollo 13 mission. The 42 mm case in stainless steel is presented on a blue nylon fabric strap, which features the trajectory of the Apollo 13 mission on the embossed lining. The silver dial has blue PVD angle-shaped hour markers and hands, as well as an embossed silver Snoopy medallion on the blue subdial at 9 o’clock. On the NAIAD LOCK caseback, a vision of the far side of the moon has been decorated on the sapphire crystal using micro-structured metallisation. An animated Snoopy in his Command and Service Module (CSM) is shown on a magical hand, which rotates when the chronograph function is used. Behind, an Earth disc rotates once per minute in sync with the watch’s small seconds hand. Along with black engravings on the caseback in tribute to Apollo 13 and OMEGA's Silver Snoopy Award, there is also a blue ceramic [ZrO2] bezel ring with a white enamel tachymeter scale. The non-limited watch is driven by the OMEGA Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 3861, and comes in a special presentation box. FEATURES Anti-magnetic The movement is unaffected by exposure to strong magnetic fields, even those greater than 1.5 tesla (15,000 gauss). Chronograph The chronograph function is a mechanism for measuring time intervals. A chronograph watch can therefore be used to time events while displaying the time like any traditional watch. Chronometer Label given to a watch which has undergone precision tests and received a certificate from an official body (COSC). Master Chronometer Certified Guaranteeing the Swiss industry’s highest standard of precision, performance and magnetic-resistance, as set by the Swiss Federal Institute of Metrology (METAS). Small seconds A hand on a sub-dial which tracks seconds typically it completes a full rotation in one minute. Tachymeter A tachymeter watch has a function for measuring speed. It is a chronograph with a graduated dial on which speed can be read in kilometres per hour based on a 1000 metre distance.

The prize recognised OMEGA’s unique contributions to space exploration, as well as the Speedmaster’s role in saving Apollo 13. Now, 50 years later, a special timepiece has been created in the occasion’s honour. SPEEDMASTER HERITAGE To really capture the iconic design history of the Speedmaster, OMEGA has included a 42 mm case in stainless steel, inspired by the chronograph’s legendary 4th generation style (famous for being the first watch worn on the moon). "Snoopy was chosen as NASA’s mascot in the 1960s, to act as a safety watchdog during space flight missions." SNOOPY IN ORBIT On the caseback, Snoopy appears inside his Command and Service Module (CSM) on a magical hand. When the chronograph seconds hand is used, Snoopy takes a trip around the far side of the moon, which has been decorated on the sapphire crystal using a unique micro-structured metallisation. There is also an Earth disc, which rotates once per minute in sync with the watch’s small seconds hand. "The iconic quote, ‘Eyes on the Stars’, is included within the black universe on the caseback." Powering the watch is the OMEGA Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 3861 – the most recent update of the legendary Moonwatch movement. It took 4 years to produce a calibre that could achieve Master Chronometer certification, while also matching the dimensions of the previous Moonwatch movement – the 1861. THE COMIC STRIP LEGACY For over half a century, Snoopy has acted as the “watchdog” for NASA’s safety programme. As well as representing total mission success, he can also keep things light in serious situations. Since 1968, the Silver Snoopy Award has been presented to people or companies who have contributed significantly to "the success of human space flight missions." "I carried two OMEGAs in space. One on Mission Elapsed Time and one on Houston time." Lt. Gen. Thomas Stafford
