This timepiece comes adorned in a vibrant, bright yellow colorway inspired by [Peanuts comics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/avi8-and-peanuts). The centerpiece of the watch is the Snoopy character, who makes an appearance in the center of the dial. To add to the whimsical nature of this watch, the hands of the watch are Snoopy's tennis racket, Snoopy's arm, and a tennis ball. This is a mechanical timepiece with a [hand-wound design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/timex-1995-intrepid-reissue), allowing the user to recalibrate the watch as needed. The watch features a 34mm-wide, 10mm-tall case with an 18mm-wide strap. Additionally, the watch is rated for water resistance up to 30 meters, as it is made out of stainless steel, leather, and an acrylic lens.
