So we have a White Snoopy MoonSwatch and what looks like a Black Snoopy MoonSwatch coming next week… are the chances of an Omega Snoopy 55th getting better with every drop? What do you think it’ll look like if it does drop this year?

I hope it looks like a 39mm Seamaster Pro diver without a helium escape valve. Or like a nice GMT. —In other words like anything other than another goofy variation on a Speedy that people wait years to find out they’re not even getting.

Sorry. Cranky.

The 45th was introduced at Baselworld April, 2015. The 50th was announced on 5 October 2020, to coincide with the actual Silver Snoopy Award date. My OB reached out in June, 2020 to take deposits (I request one in October 2021 and mine arrived last week).

If there is going to be a 55, my prediction is that it will be announced Saturday 5 Oct 2024 (and this time I will put a deposit down earlier lol)

Not going to happen, Omega doesn't operate like that any longer. There was no Apollo 8 or 11 55th, there will be no Snoopy 55th. No one celebrates a 55th anniversary. And Omega doesn't want to go through another Snoopy frenzy which has been disruptive and distracting. Omega will make more money in a year selling the new white dial variant compared to the entire run of 50th Snoopys, without all the headaches.

Someone needs to DM Gregory Kissling and ask him...maybe they will break with tradition? I think I'll be in my mid-80s for my own 55th anniversary lol.

Not likely it will happen and October '24 would be way too early.

Oh right...my brain is too sleepy to do basic arithmetic. I should have said Sunday October 5 2025.

Didn’t the last one advertise in October to be released in January?

The 50th Snoopy was announced 5 October 2020. My OB reached out in June 2020 to take deposits with the timing and details unknown.

I hope so, as the notion of an exclusive Snoopy anything is antithetical to the characters.

The whole reason NASA picked Snoopy was to be INCLUSIVE, i.e., get more people involved in the space program, so making a Snoopy "limited edition" seems pretty bent.

If Omega cares about honoring the heritage, they should be prepared to produce as many as there's demand for.
