This is a reference to the duration of the Apollo 13 Mission -- 142 hours 54 minutes 41 seconds. These are easily worth PS12,000 to PS15,000. The Silver Snoopy of 2015 with white dials, released in an edition of 1970, is not far behind, and prices have already reached PS10,000.
The white dial 2015 is the real winner. Silver Snoopy, 311.32.42.30.04.003 is the real winner. It is one of most collectible watches of recent times.
The dial features a luminous Snoopy on the sub-dial for running seconds, stating "FAILURE ISN'T AN OPTION", while the seconds track around the circumference of the dial says "WHAT COULD U DO IN 14 SECONDS?" in reference to the 14 second bursts astronaut Jack Swigert measured with his Speedmaster. On the dial, the best part is the ceramic bezel that has a luminous tachymeter.
Silver Snoopy Speedmaster commemorates the lapel pin with a hand-carved Snoopy figurine against a dark blue enamel background found on the caseback. Raynald, the CEO of Aeschlimann, once told Revolution that the watch was not his intention, but when he saw how popular the watches were, how much money they traded for on the second market,Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Replica and how the prices were set organically by the buyers, he felt a sense of satisfaction.
