SUMMARY

The Omega Speedmaster Snoopy Award ref. 3578.51 was launched in 2003 as a 5,541-piece limited edition. Designed to commemorate the Silver Snoopy Award awarded to Omega, the watch received a lacklustre reception at first, but over time has become a highly sought-after reference amongst collectors. This reference maintains a very similar aesthetic to the regular “moon watch”, with the appeal being the subtle details. The 9 o’clock sub-dial features a “Eyes On The Stars” patch, which would be easy to miss with a passing glance. On the case back the patch is replicated in larger dimensions.  This lot represents an opportunity to acquire a highly collectable Speedmaster reference.
