Timex launches two affordable field-style collab watches with 24-hour dials

At $119, the two recent Peanuts x Timex Expedition Acadia references are the cheapest way into Timex's Snoopy collaboration. The rest of the lineup is priced from $189 to $229. Here, you're saving money on the case, which is resin instead of steel. We couldn't pinpoint an exact launch date for these collab watches; however, we're near certain that they were listed in the past couple of weeks (first half of August).

The TW2Y84600 features a green dial with an olive strap and a yellow seconds hand. On the other hand, the TW2Y84700 uses a cream dial with a navy strap and blue printing throughout. Hardware is otherwise completely identical.

Both dials come with artwork of Snoopy in Beagle Scout uniform. We see Woodstock and a line of birds trailing behind him against a mountain backdrop. The Beagle Scouts first showed up in Peanuts in 1974, and Timex has used the theme before as well — an older Acadia collaboration celebrated the troop's 50th anniversary on a fabric strap.

The dial layout is quite familiar, as one would expect from an Expedition model. Full Arabic numerals are present to mark hours with a 24-hour scale printed inside them, a triangular marker is visible at 12, and a date window at three o'clock. Luminous fill coats the hands and markers. The 50-meter rating is printed above six.

The case is 40 mm of lightweight resin with a moulded crown guard. The resin keeps the weight low, alongside the price. The strap is grooved silicone with quick-release spring bars: it comes off without any tools. Additionally, the watches run on a battery-powered quartz analog movement. 

Timex and Peanuts have been collaborators for decades. A separate Peanuts Expedition Scout has also launched at $129 — that one uses cardinal direction markers instead of the Beagle Scouts artwork.

Both Acadia references are now listed on Timex's US and EU stores.
