RJ talks about the Speedmaster Silver Snoopy Award 50th Anniversary 

Thanks for watching the video! Much appreciated! Please check-out our other Speedmaster videos as well and subscribe to our channel! :-)

This video has done nothing to quench my thirst for the new Snoopy. The want is now even stronger. Great video!

I must be a masochist. I was offered the Snoopy one when I came out at a very good price because I instantly knew the history of Snoopy and Nasa and Apollo 13 when I saw it. I even knew something few watch reviewers mention about why the Snoopy award was named after Snoopy. Astronauts have forever worn a textile hat/cap inside their helmets called the "Communications Carrier Assembly" - and it looks a lot like the leather helmet WW2 pilots (and Snoopy) was wearing. So the astronauts named their CCA the "Snoopy cap". Anyways, here I am. Like in 2003 - except without a really good deal. Horologically, I think the Snoopy watch may be the most significant of them all. Sure, it is cool that Armstrong left his watch in the capsule to cater to a faulty instrument in the lander. But in terms of the value of time - Apollo 13 is a bigger deal, as the trio sitting in a capsule where all the electronics were blown out or shut off to save electricity - they timed the mid-course correction burns with the manual wind mechanical Speedmaster. As far as I know - it is the only time in history that a rocket engine has been time-controlled in space by a pure mechanical timer. The Apollo 13-crew were returned to sailors. The NASA astronomers on Earth developed star-maps for them to navigate by (they had no internal referencing). So there they were - in a ship with the stars and a timer and a sextant As such it also explains the post-quartz question "why a mechanical timer"?. It even explains the whole "flight-qualified" message on the back of the Professional. Implying that when all the electronics short-cut or has no battery left - one can still measure a second, a minute, and hour and a day to pretty good precision. Finally. Girls do not much care about watch guys (with good reasons - hacking seconds and flybacks and perpetual calendars are interesting - but also incredibly nerdy). To strap a Snoopy to the wrist is similar to actually wearing Baby Yoda/Grogu on the wrist. One can talk about the human drama of Apollo 13/those who never landed on the moon but did come home. The value of time. The meaning of life. And with this latest incarnation, one can flick it around - and demonstrate a sense of humour and showing that one does not take oneself too seriously. I think Snoopy 2020 is under-priced. A lot. This thing can lead to marriage with the most amazing human being one has ever met or will meet. It can lead to a friendship with someone - just from the conversation. Nobody will hate you for rocking a "be aware - I have more money than you so I must skip in front of you in the cash-line" Rolex-vibe. Omega has done this so well - to the point that they are shy about silver being used in the dial that the fact is almost invisibly engraved. And allowing us to excuse ourselves for the extravagance, by saying it is a homage to the Silver in the Snoopy pin. If my grandmother was still alive, I am pretty sure I could explain to her why one can spend an awful amount of money on a watch in the time of mobile phones buzzing us every 10 seconds from a new mail/message. And interestingly - in a world where mechanical watches are silly overpriced and Omega are doing special editions of the Speedy more frequent than I change underwear - this one is not overpriced. This one is not a limited edition. it does not even feel speculative. It is like having Baby Yoda strapped to the wrist. So cute. So shy about using the force except when needed. Not taking itself too seriously - being happy to play with a small orb. I started school with a fantasy to become an astronaut - I ended up with a Dr Scient degree in Earth-science walking around on this planet in space. I would hate if someone thought I was a wanna-be astronaut just from liking the Speedy. (PS, I am a wannabe astronaut of course) I kind of expect Omega to mail me the new snoopy after this rant of love. :-)

Very interesting overview, great reference video just one remark; It was Thomas “Ken” Mattingly who was exposed to measles and was replaced in the original Apollo 13 crew. However, Charlie Duke was part of the Apollo 13 backup crew as LMP - Lunar Module Pilot, a position he later flew during Apollo 16 … Although the “Eyes on the Stars” might refer to President Roosevelt’s speech, during the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo era, it literally referred to the astronauts’ training in celestial navigation. NASA astronauts learned to find their way using the Moon and the position of 57 stars. Courses were given at the Morehead Planetarium University of North Carolina. #MoonwatchUniverse

Sorry, but someone has to say it: a beautiful watch humiliated by that awful lighting in that room.

Nice video. Just one thing. I would remove the background music when the presenter is speaking, personally I find the music a bit distracting.

Great review! Please do more video reviews! Especially Omega!

I think the second generation Snoopy Speedmaster is still my favorite.

Hi im thinking of trading rolex gmt blnr jubilee for the snoopy plus an additional £2k the other way. What your opinion. Thanks

Thank you so much for the excellent video - I’m as well in the waiting list ... I have been told that I might be getting it in December ... for me, it’s the most beautiful Chronograph released in the last few years ... amazing piece of Art

The 321 looks amazing on your wrist! I NEED THAT WATCH!

Nice review. You guys are truly the reference when it comes to omega Speedmasters. I’m top of the list at the local boutique for this and the Ed white. Which do you think will be delivered first?

couldn't have been released on any other day during the week :)

素晴らしい動画 ３つ揃うとすごい😆⤴️ 青色は、良いですね🎵良いなあ

Great video, thank you! I suppose its difficult to say since we don't know the production number and how long it will be in production. But can you guess how it's value would hold up? This would be a HUGE investment for me and not a decision taken lightly, so I'm trying to figure out if it's likely to hold its value or maybe even appreciate? Thank you!

Thanks for a great overview, anxiously awaiting mine.

Its not limited edition, a year later and you will still be able to place an order for one. 2015 had a limited run of 1970 and hence the current value. 2003 had a limited run of 5441 and is trading at around $12k. I believe the 2020 will hold its value or have limited down side.

Amazing watch. May I make two suggestions about background ? 1) kill the background music while RJ speaks. 2) upgrade the background cupboard. This one looks like a cheap one you have in the garage to stow stuff you will never use anyway. Check @barkandjack for inspiration (but don’t check Wei Koh’s messy room from where his lockdown videos have been shot)

Amazing review!!!

Great video and narrative, but Ouch!!. Its hurt deep when I saw the scratches of your Snoopy 2. they Are more close to be defined as a scrath than as a signature. But if you are happy (or not regret it after was done) thas was is important. I have 1 and 2 Snoopy ones and I think will wait at least a year and a half to have number 3 because the waiting list. Cheers.

Does anyone know if reservation for this watch requires paid in full? 50%? What are dealers usually doing? Thanks

Surely looks like private astronaut Eytan Stibbe wore an Omega Silver Snoopy Speedmaster chronograph on his righthand wrist during April 8, 2022 SpaceX launch of Axiom-1 Axiom-1 is the first spaceflight mission with a full private astronaut crew; Michael Lopez-Alegria (ex-NASA), Larry Conner, Mark Pathy (Canada) and Eytan Stibbe (Israel). #MoonwatchUniverse #SpeedyTuesday 🧐

Whats the RC car on the shelf behind you?

Nice collection RJ

3 very nice watches, but if I had to choose only one, it would be the new coaxial Metas certified model.

Great, informative video. Can you tell me the part number of the 2020 cordura strap (blue)?

2-3 year waitlist at my local AD...

Great Speedmaster, it is my favorite so far. I like to let the Snoopy over to the people who dream about the watch to own. If you bought it, share it here at Fratello.

Very informative!!! Nice Video!

man if only I could get my hands on at least one of these it wouldn't leave my wrist

6k ??

Nice review. Can’t wait for mine. I don’t understand why you let anyone scratch such a beautiful piece (the Snoopy ||) with diamond pen?!

Overpriced!

That watch is hideous! I can find something similar at the airport kiosk for $20.
