OMEGA Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch Chronograph 310.32.42.50.02.001 "Silver Snoopy Award 50th Anniversary"

The Omega Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch is popuparised as NASA's most trusted timepiece, with 50th Anniversary Silver Snoopy Award edition honouring NASA’s recognition of Omega’s contributions to space exploration spanning back to 1970.  

After handling multiple variants of the speedmaster (and the most comparable references 310.30.42.50.01.001 and 310.30.42.50.01.002, otherwise known as the Professional Moonwatch in Hesalite Crystal and Sapphire Crystal), this commemorative piece stands up and has generated the highest collector interest. 

If we look back to NASA’s reported flight data, the Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch Professional Chronograph proved critical during Apollo 13's crisis, when astronauts relied on their Speedmasters to time the precise 14-second engine burn. This real-world performance led to the 1970 Silver Snoopy Award - NASA's recognition for outstanding contributions to flight safety and mission success. 

The reference 310.32.42.50.02.001 added groundbreaking features to the Moonwatch Professional line. Its signature animated caseback mechanism, driven by the chronograph function, showing a cute Snoopy traversing the lunar surface in remarkable detail - a technical achievement that sets this reference apart from standard Speedmaster Professional models.
