Overview
The Omega Speedmaster ref. 311.32.42.30.04.003, known as the Apollo 13 Silver Snoopy Award, is a limited commemorative edition of the iconic Speedmaster line released in 2015. It honours both the 45th anniversary of the Apollo 13 mission and NASA's prestigious Silver Snoopy Award, which Omega received in recognition of the Speedmaster's role in astronaut safety. The 42 mm stainless steel case houses the manually wound calibre 1861, the same movement lineage that accompanied astronauts to the Moon.
History
The Silver Snoopy Award is NASA's own commendation, presented to contractors and individuals whose work contributes to flight safety and mission success — Omega earned it in 1970 following the near-disastrous Apollo 13 mission, during which the Speedmaster was used to time a critical engine burn that helped return the crew safely to Earth. Omega has returned to this chapter of its heritage on multiple occasions, and the 2015 edition marks the 45th anniversary of that mission. The reference 311.32.42.30.04.003 stands as one of the most narratively rich Speedmaster variants, blending horological history with the enduring cultural presence of Snoopy as NASA's safety mascot.
Notable points
- The white dial features a depiction of Snoopy in his astronaut guise, a direct reference to NASA's use of the Peanuts character as the face of its Silver Snoopy safety award programme.
- Powered by the manually wound calibre 1861, a movement with direct lineage to the calibre that was flight-qualified by NASA and worn on the Moon.
- The 42 mm stainless steel case follows the classic Speedmaster proportions, maintaining continuity with the professional tool-watch heritage of the line.
- Released in 2015 to mark the 45th anniversary of the Apollo 13 mission, grounding the piece in a specific and well-documented moment in spaceflight history.
- The Silver Snoopy Award theme has appeared across several Speedmaster editions over the decades, making each iteration a distinct collector chapter within the broader Moonwatch story.
