So far we do not have any solid info of what Omega is planning on Oct the 5th, I can think of 3 possible scenarios without any clue of which one is the right one. Also, with the new expected price increase, I do not know which route Omega would go to:

Release a new Snoopy model to commemorate the 55th anniversary
  • Keep the production of the current Snoopy 50th anniversary
  • Discontinue the current Snoopy with out releasing releasing a new model

There is not much info floating around, and so far, Omega did not have any big releases for this year.

The 55th A11 anniversary wasn't important, 50th Apollo-Sojuz wasn't important so I'm going with continuation of Snoopy 50th.

Who said there will be a new release on October 5th?
Myself and a couple other members were told by our OB a few months ago that there probably will be a 55th. I an first on the list there if so.

I seriously doubt there will be a 55th, that stuff just isn't part of Omega's marketing strategy now. They loaned their name to Swatch for the gimmick angle.

For the S50, you could start placing official deposits around mid Sept. There was already lots of notice here coming from OB's saying to go in and place deposits. As of right now, there hasn't been any talk of being able to place official deposits for a S55. It's not looking likely that there will be a S55 coming out.

Edit- I went back to look at my old cc statements. I placed a 50% deposit on Sept 18, 2020. We should know by end of next week if we can place an official deposit.

I never placed a deposit on mine.

As I wrote in another thread, if it happens it will probably be like the 45th, 1970 pieces and/or made of unobtanium.

They'll (probably) never do a specified number, limited edition watch again. Omega knows it is better to keep their cards close to the chest so they can make as many 321 Ed White's or Snoopy's on a 'limited production' basis that maximizes their profit and keeps the market buzzing. It's worked beautifully for those two watches.....years in production and still hard to score one at an OB, and no one outside of Omega management knows how many have been made, will be made, or when production will end. Total control by Omega.

And we keep coming back for more....

As long as there's still demand for the current one they should probably just keep making it, its a really nice watch and it wouldn't hurt keeping it around longer term rather than making a bunch of new ones to create more scarcity. I actually like this approach better than the old LE system, but that's just my preference.
