Watchmakers Timex introduces another product that takes on a 'Peanut' theme -- the latest timepiece is a Snoopy Marlin Automatic watch. The design is drawn from the label's archives, specifically the revival of the Marlin shape from the 60s. Notably, the wristwatch functions using a mechanical movement that is activated by the actual physical movements of the wearer.
When the wearer moves, the mainspring automatically winds up to generate energy, ultimately powering the watch. The classic design receives some updates, with the incorporation of 21 jewel ticks that run automatically. The iconic cartoon character, Snoopy, is dressed as Flying Ace and adorns the dial's face. The Snoopy Marlin automatic watch is now available for purchase online at Timex.
