    Can someone give me the part number for the deployment buckle that came with the new Silver Snoopy?

    Hi there are various deployants that are compatible with the Snoopy band. From the older non trident style, the brushed one is 94521833

    There are a few online retailers you can check, such as authentic watches, which sell them below retail price. Omega boutique pricing will be retail.

    You can also PM @yinzerniner here as he sell a lot of Omega accesories (I have purchased from him, very trustworthy)

    AW certainly have them but I would question whether they are below retail. Their prices are at around the $400 mark, is the RRP really higher still?

    The Silver Snoopy came with the 94531883. It has a slightly larger opening to account for the rubber support around the pin holes in the strap, which adds a very slight amount of thickness. That clasp has the "shield" or "trident" head, while the 94521833 has the round head.

    Authentic Watches marks up around 30% from retail prices. Any OB sells them from $230-280 plus tax where applicable, while ADs are usually around the same range.

    That is extremely helpful. Thank you very much. I'm going to order the trident head buckle from the OB.

    I bought a Snoopy Strap and buckle from my OB a while back, after I got my Speedy Tuesday, but haven't used it yet (not selling). I'll have to check and see if they gave me the correct buckle for it, just in case.

    I'm using the "shield" Ti buckle on my GSOTM with extra Omega deployment strap (the ceramic deployant buckle was too bulky), and I'm using the "round" SS buckle on my 145.022-74 with Barenia leather strap.

    There seems to be a quite a few variations that Omega has used (brushed/polished, trident/round head, 16mm/18mm), they seem to keep changing the appearance and finish. When I bought my Speedmaster a couple of years ago the Geneva boutique threw in a 094521833 DP (18mm) and strap as part of the deal although I think if you buy a Speedmaster without the bracelet you get a 16mm DP as standard equipment. Yet they seem to have issued an 18mm DP on the Snoopy. Go figure. It's all inconsistent.

    The finishes have always stayed consistent with the model numbers, but the model number sub-categories have never been consistent. IE, 94521833 has always been fully brushed, 18mm, normal length, while 94521813 has always been fully polished, 18mm, normal length. Using the numbering system you'd think that 94521633 was 16mm brushed normal length but no, it's actually 16mm polished short length. And that's not even going into the gold, titanium, ceramic and STZ model variations.

    As for what strap comes with which watch model Omega is quite consistent, but the sales people at OBs and ADs are not. The stock strap for the stock Speedy Pro (Hesalite crystal, solid caseback, black dial) from the factory has been a 98000080 alligator strap, 20mmx16mm, with a 94521613 16mm clasp, since at least the early 2000's when the model numbers were 3570.50 for bracelet and 3870.50 for strap. However at the point of sale if a strap is being included they might give you a 20x18 Omega model and the 18mm clasp, even though the stock kit comes with the 20x16 and 16mm clasp, since that's probably what's in stock and the fact that there are limited 20x16 Omega strap options for the clasp. Also the Snoopy came with a completely new strap thus it including the newer-style clasp at 18mm.

    ^^^ Thanks for the explanation. But Omega still uses a LOT of different iterations of a deployant buckle, most use one design with maybe a 16mm or 18mm choice, not the myriad of SS buckles Omega uses. It's just the way they roll, but if I was management I'd be questioning if they really need all the different types and could things be a bit more standardized.
