I'm usually a sucker for blue on watches, blue dial, blued hands, etc. And the caseback is amazing on that watch. It is so much nicer than any of the other Snoopy Speedmasters I've seen. The only other Omega wristwatch I still own is a DeVille Co-Axial chronograph. Mine is the regular version and does not have the Olympic rings on the bottom of the chrono seconds hand. Has a clear sapphire caseback. Sadly it needs service, might still run but I can hear something jingling when I shake my wrist so no need to stress or possibly damage it more, bought it cheap from a desperate selling college professor. Figured it would be a profitable flip but ended up liking it a lot more than I guessed! :-)

Also own a high accuracy Omega Marine clock specifically designed for French nuclear submarines. When I say high accuracy I mean accurate within 1-2 seconds per year. Interesting story but will save that for another day. High accuracy quartz clocks are another subset of my collecting, have three Seiko, one Omega. Including what is regarded as the first quartz clock, perhaps the first widely used commercial quartz clock, used in the 1964 Tokyo Olympics and also on the Tokyo train system around the same time. I forget the model numbers will have to look them up and report back.
