Introduction
In 1970, upon their successful return to Earth, Omega presented the astronauts aboard Apollo 13 with the Silver Snoopy Awards. On the 45th anniversary of that groundbreaking journey, Omega introduced a Limited Edition series of only 1,970 pieces. Immediately sold out, this whimsical piece instantaneously became one of the most coveted modern Speedmasters ever released.

THE DIAL
Tucked behind the hands is the quote "Failure is not an option", from the 1995 movie Apollo 13, in which Ed Harris plays the role of NASA flight director Gene Franz.
THE CASEBACK
The caseback is embedded with a .925 sterling silver Snoopy pin, which is affixed upon a blue enamel background with silver flecks. This is not original to the Silver Snoopy Awards, which were given to Apollo 13 astronauts.
TIMING MACHINE READOUT
This reading was taken (crown down) with a ONEOF Accuracy Boutique Edition timing machine at time of cataloging. It is provided as a courtesy only, and shall not be construed as a warranty or guarantee of any kind. Please refer to our terms and conditions of sale for more information.
Condition
The overall condition is essentially new. It exhibits no signs of usage, aside from a few faint handling marks. The strap appears to be unworn. It is best described as 'New Old Stock'.
Our Perspective
The 45th Anniversary Snoopy Edition is undeniably one of the best modern watches produced by Omega. It's an ideal union of the historical association Omega has with space exploration, and its modern design language. As is well known, these watches are not easy to come by, especially one in such flawless shape. This is an excellent chance for all types of collectors to acquire a highly desirable watch in immaculate condition.
