Timex x Peanuts Marlin Snoopy “Beagle Scout”

Timex has been relentless in issuing its Charles Schulz “Peanuts” themed watches, and now the latest one, an outdoor-sy “Beagle Scout” brings the count to two dozen models. Using the classic Marlin collection as its base, the Beagle Scout has perfectly-sized 40mm case (not too big, not too small) with a vintage-style acrylic crystal capping off a muted dark green dial that borders on black. The no-date dial with simple markers and hands is punctuated by Snoopy in his “Beagle Scout” outfit at the 6 o’clock position. Less colorful but no less playful than other Timex X Peanuts watches, this one wouldn’t be out of place while wearing a suit. The movement is a 40-hour power reserve, 21-jewel automatic movement viewable through the display caseback. The leather strap matches the dial, and the total package is aesthetically far more pleasing than its $259 price tag would indicate.
