Timex Marlin Automatic Snoopy Edition Watch Hands-On

The Snoopy Edition of the Marlin Automatic is a limited production version of the new 40mm wide Timex Marlin Automatic timepiece collection as the reference TW2R94800 The Marlin Automatic retains a lot of what made the original Marlin great but offers some upgrades at a pretty reasonable price that is only 25% more expensive than the smaller Marlin The dial of the Timex Marlin Automatic watches is similarly simple, with baton-style hour markers and needle-style hands with a thin strip of painted luminant in their center.

For watch collectors, the most important change to the Marlin is likely the movement, which goes from a Chinese manually wound mechanical movement to a Japanese Miyota automatic mechanical movement that operates at 3Hz with about two days of power reserve Seasoned collectors with a soft spot for Flying Ace Snoopy should also feel comfortable about wearing such a "Pedestrian timepiece" because of the Marlin Automatic's mechanical nature and the overall respect for those qualities which make a good watch What makes the Snoopy Edition distinct from the rest of the Marlin Automatic watches is, of course, the Snoopy character on the silver-toned dial at the 6 o'clock position.

Timex has made it clear that the Timex Marlin Automatic Snoopy Edition will not be produced in large numbers or for very long - and in addition, it will be available for sale exclusively on the Timex website. . Source
