So from what I hear, the Snoopy is not to be a limited edition. The concept is to be like the new 321. (Throttled production).
The question for me is, 321 or Snoopy?
That's interesting that they asked for a deposit. I suppose maybe the OB I visited hadn't received that many entries for their waiting list. They did mention they have the waiting list to determine their allocations. I hope we're all able to obtain one. I have to say I was very impressed with how friendly/down to earth the employees were. We talked watches for a good 30 minutes.
Yes, that's what I've heard as well. It is not limited edition. It will however, be limited production like the Apollo 8 50th. My guess is two-tone, flat link bracelet with 3861 movement priced in the same range as the Apollo 8 5th.
It’s hard to believe that it will not be a LE. I can’t imagine Omega wanting to deal with licensing required to have snoopy on your watch. Also, you can’t in good conscious market a 50th anniversary snoopy award next year. Omega would have to pivot so it wouldn’t be the 50th any more. Instead it will just be called the Silver snoopy.

After Apollo 11 at $9,650 Omega won't undercut that price, they aren't going backwards. People are dreaming of a repeat of the 45th Snoopy, but lightening won't strike twice. We'll see in 2 1/2 months.
Ah, but that is what the original communication from Omega stated, "Celebrating the 50th Anniversary of being presented with Snoopy'. At no time has there been any mention of A13 or a watch. For all we know Omega could issue a paperweight with a Silver Snoopy insert.
That there are so many different versions (via the extremely well informed AD/OB network 😗 ) of what is going to happen only serves to confirm that no one actually knows what the announcement will be.
Assuming that it is a watch that is announced, I am fairly confident that it will be a LE but with a large number of pieces, around 10,000, simply to stop the markups that exist on the last Snoopy. Omega may also do two versions one in SS (10,000 or so made) and one in full precious metal with a solid silver Snoopy caseback in a run of 1970 watches. My guess on prices would be around £10,000 for the SS watch and £30,000 for the PM version, both with the 3861 movement.
At the same time Omega will announce that the 3861 will be the new calibre in the Moonwatch and the 1861 is being discontinued.
Affordability is super important
Has to be a watch. Omega is not selling paperweight, that is not their core, main stream business. Letting the opportunity passed...that is not business sense 101
I recall some people on here saying that the ST2 was way over-priced at £4,750 ($6,158) but now figures of 10k-20k are being bounded around, and gleefully accepted as new normal, for a possible limited-ish edition with another Snoopy on it? How times have changed!
My prediction
Same watch as 50th with a silver theme instead of gold with a silver Snoopy on the buzz butt sub dial
Yeah, it seems like given the resell values of the previous Snoopy watches, it's become accepted to have an MSRP of at least 10k. I think that would be the cut off for me...obviously depending on the design/materials used. It would be nice if they made enough of them to go around for those who missed out on the first two Snoopy's.
Well I've been looking for a reason to have just one and only Speedy in the A11 50SS so
hard pass for me if watch is similar to that and equally or more in price. not looking for a watch just because the old Snoopy commands such high resale prices.
If it's going to be another "expensive" watch, maybe better to pay that amount of money for an early 2003 or 2015 Snoopy version !
Indeed... counting on that and hopefully it comes in a nice smaller "special" box than the usal large bootsize shoebox of the current Speedmaster 😁
