Lunar Heritage – The Silver Snoopy Edition
The Speedmaster Silver Snoopy Clone channels the playful yet historic character of Omega’s tribute to the Apollo 13 mission. With its silver-white dial, deep blue ceramic tachymeter bezel, and matching blue chronograph accents, this model delivers strong visual impact while honoring the storytelling legacy behind NASA’s Silver Snoopy Award. The three-dimensional Snoopy medal at 9 o’clock adds depth and personality, making it instantly recognizable to Speedmaster enthusiasts.
Case Proportions & Materials
This version maintains a 42mm case diameter, aligned with the proportions of the original Silver Snoopy edition. The polished stainless steel case is crafted from imported AISI 316L steel and undergoes hardening treatment, reaching approximately 240HV for enhanced scratch resistance.
A transparent arc-shaped sapphire crystal protects the dial, offering clarity and a subtle vintage curvature. The caseback also uses sapphire crystal, allowing visibility of the decorative movement structure and special Snoopy-themed elements.
The blue ceramic bezel is produced using imported ceramic material and finished with a white enamel tachymeter scale, designed to resist fading or yellowing over time. The color tone closely matches the deep blue seen on the genuine model.
Dial Layout & Chronograph Configuration
The chronograph follows the classic tri-compax layout:
- 3 o’clock – 30-minute counter
- 6 o’clock – 12-hour chronograph counter
- 9 o’clock – Blue small seconds sub-dial with embossed 3D Snoopy medal
The matte stainless steel dial is paired with platinum-plated hour markers, and the luminous material uses imported Super-LumiNova-style compound. The tone of the hands and applied markers is matched for consistent glow color in low-light conditions.
The blue nylon strap features an Apollo track-inspired pattern, offering a lightweight and comfortable wearing experience while reinforcing the space theme.
Movement & Special Mechanism Note
This model uses a replicated 3816-style chronograph movement designed to visually reproduce the animated Snoopy traveling in space on the caseback.
However, it is important to clarify that this is not a full 1:1 mechanically identical model.
While the caseback animation and chronograph layout are visually inspired by the original, the internal engineering differs from Omega’s authentic caliber. Certain mechanical interactions and reset behaviors do not replicate the genuine version’s exact function. In particular, chronograph reset precision and sub-dial behavior may not mirror factory-level specifications under all operating conditions.
Buyers seeking complete mechanical parity with the authentic Silver Snoopy edition should understand that this version focuses primarily on aesthetic fidelity and thematic presentation rather than identical movement architecture.

Who Is It For?
This Silver Snoopy Clone is ideal for collectors who appreciate the storytelling, color contrast, and playful lunar theme of the Apollo tribute series. It offers strong visual resemblance, vibrant ceramic finishing, and recognizable Snoopy detailing at a more accessible level.
For enthusiasts prioritizing authentic mechanical equivalence, this model may not fully meet those expectations. For those who value design presence, commemorative aesthetics, and wrist impact, it remains a distinctive and conversation-worthy chronograph.
