These whimsical designs, often featuring Snoopy as an astronaut, pilot, or baseball player, blended Timex’s durable timekeeping with nostalgic Americana. Revived in recent years through the Timex x Peanuts collection, the partnership remains beloved by collectors and fans alike, celebrating both horological charm and the timeless appeal of Charles Schulz’s classic characters. What's on Offer Celebrating 70 years of Peanuts magic, this Timex Q Snoopy 70th Anniversary Edition is a playful tribute to one of pop culture’s most beloved icons. Featuring a vibrant blue dial with a full-colour Snoopy illustration at 6 o'clock, this model also sports a classic Pepsi-style rotating bezel, yellow lume plots, and a day-date display. Housed in a retro-inspired tonneau case and paired at the moment with a deep blue leather strap, it also comes with its original steel Seiko bracelet, which is unworn. This quartz-powered piece blends vintage styling with lighthearted charm—a collector’s favourite and a joy on the wrist. We will be sad to see this one go - sold with original bracelet, box and paperwork. Who wouldn't be charmed by this beauty?

Atlas type guide
Wristwatches
Bracelet watches were worn by women from the early nineteenth century — Breguet made one for Caroline Murat, Queen of Naples, in 1810–12 — but the wristwatch only became a man's instrument with military use and aviation in the early twentieth century. Between the World Wars it overtook the pocket watch; the 1920s and 1930s brought rectangular Art Deco cases, water-resistant cases and the first automatic winding systems.
After 1945 the wristwatch became a carrier of identity — dress watches, sports and dive watches, chronographs, calendars — produced by Swiss, American, Japanese, German, Soviet and Chinese industries. The quartz revolution after 1969 and the mechanical renaissance since the 1990s, including the rise of independent watchmakers, complete the story.
What to look for
- The reference number (between the lugs or inside the case back) and serial number, the starting point for dating.
- The calibre: its maker and number are often stamped under the dial or on the bridge.
- Originality of dial, hands and crown — refinished ('redial') dials are common.
- Case material marks: 18K/750, 14K/585, stainless steel, gold-filled, plated.
Dating clues
- Wire-lug cases: before c. 1925.
- Water-resistant screw-down cases: from 1926.
- Quartz movements: from 1969; sapphire crystals widespread after c. 1980.
