Omega’s Speedmaster series has long been a benchmark for lunar-inspired chronographs, and the 50th Anniversary Snoopy Award edition (reference 310.32.42.50.02.001) holds a special place in horological history. This from OS Factory aims to capture every nuance of that celebrated timepiece, from the striking blue ceramic bezel to the intricate dial details.

Design and Build: A Tribute to Apollo 13

The case is crafted from 316L stainless steel, measuring 42mm in diameter—a size that balances wrist presence with wearability. The blue zirconia (ZrO2) ceramic bezel is a standout feature, fitted with a white enamel tachymeter scale that mirrors the original’s crisp legibility. The silvered dial is treated with blue PVD-coated hour markers and hands, creating a cohesive, sporty aesthetic that pays homage to the Snoopy Award legacy.

Movement and Functionality

At the heart of this beats a manual-winding chronograph movement, meticulously engineered to replicate the Omega caliber 3861. While it may not carry the Master Chronometer certification, the OS Factory version delivers reliable timekeeping and a smooth chronograph actuation, ensuring a satisfying tactile experience. The solid caseback is engraved with black motifs that echo the Apollo 13 mission and the Snoopy Award, adding a layer of authenticity that enthusiasts appreciate.

Strap and Comfort

The included stainless steel bracelet is designed to mirror Omega’s iconic five-link style, offering both comfort and adjustability. For those who prefer a lighter feel, the watch is compatible with aftermarket leather or NATO straps, though the original steel bracelet remains the default choice for most collectors.

Accuracy and Quality

When comparing this to the genuine model, the differences are subtle. The case finishing is brushed and polished to a high standard, and the dial printing is crisp, with no visible smudging. The bezel’s ceramic texture and the enamel tachymeter scale are particularly impressive at this price point, offering a near-identical appearance to the original.
