The Omega Speedmaster Anniversary Limited Series Mens Chronograph is in commemoration of the 45th anniversary of the Apollo 13 mission. The crew aboard Apollo 13 used their Speedmaster watches during historic perilous journey back to Earth in 1970. The NASA inspired “Moonwatch” has been refreshed with a white dial with Super-LumiNova Snoopy on the 9 o’clock subdial.
The iconic phrase, “Failure is not an option” has been transferred onto the dial along with “What could you do in 14 seconds.” The second phrase is a homage to the Peanuts comics, referring to 14 squares. The 42mm. polished and brushed case is made with stainless steel, while the polished black ceramic bezel ring features Super-LumiNova Snoopy on the tachymeter scale. This chronometer features the OMEGA Calibre 1861 and “Moonwatch” style hands. A crafted 925 Silver Snoopy medallion, like the award, resides on the reverse side with dark blue enamel.
