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.

I am seeing more and more rumors that October will be the month of the new Snoopy release. Then, Swatch posted this to hint at another gold Snoopy in August. What is everybody’s idea on the 55th anniversary now?

I still don't think it will happen, they didn't even celebrate Apollo-Sojuz 50th anniversary with a release.

Most likely it will be a Swatch x Omega collaboration, much easier to manage than a full blown Omega Speedmaster.

There wasn't even a mention of the 55th Apollo 11 in 2024, and that mission was monumental. I don't think the buzz for a 55th Snoopy Speedmaster would be all that strong, certainly nothing like 50th. Let's see in a week.

And why is he leaving so much slack in his line? He needs to be ready to set the hook if he gets a nibble. Amateur.

Don't think it will happen. It'll just become a joke if Omega keeps releasing a Snoopy every 5 years and cheapen the brand's image. As it is, Omega cops a lot of criticism from some quarters for all the different LE Speedmasters that they have released in the past. Just my 2¢

My OB has been pretty clear that they expect a 55th Snoopy. That said, they have given no hints on what I twill look like, exact release date, limited vs full production, etc….

I do think it’s prudent that they end the 50th version soon, as it doesn’t make much sense to celebrate the 50th anniversary of anything after 55 years have passed….haha

I am more than 70% lean towards the discontinuation of the 50th Snoopy irrespective if there will be a 55th edition. One think I noticed recently, the Omega website has put the Snoopy as a wish list.
