Timex has expanded its ongoing Peanuts collaboration with a new watch called the Peanuts x Timex Weekender Astronomy. The 40mm model is priced at $189 and is currently available for pre-order through Timex’s US website.
Design Details
The watch, carrying the model number TW2Y84900, is built around the standard Weekender chassis but features a distinct celestial theme. The dial is a deep blue and displays a graphic of Snoopy set against a night sky pattern. For timekeeping, Timex has opted for full Arabic numerals, a magnified date window, and hands with luminescent in-fill for visibility in low-light conditions.
Like many of the company’s watches, this model includes the proprietary Indiglo backlight feature. Pressing the crown illuminates the entire dial, making it readable in the dark without relying solely on the luminescent hands.
Regarding the hardware, the Weekender Astronomy features a 40mm case made from low-lead brass with a polished, silver-tone finish. It measures 9.5mm thick and has a lug-to-lug distance of 48.5mm.
The watch face is protected by a mineral crystal, which provides standard resistance against everyday scratches. Internally, it relies on a standard quartz analog movement powered by a CR2016 battery. The total weight of the watch is 57.03 grams.
The watch comes paired with a 20mm blue slip-thru leather strap that fastens with a standard buckle. According to the sizing specifications, the band is designed to fit wrist circumferences ranging from 150mm to 205mm (5.9 to 8.1 inches).
For durability, the watch is rated for 50 meters of water resistance. This specification means it can withstand splashes and light swimming, but Timex advises against using it for snorkeling or poolside diving.
In related news, Timex has recently launched two Snoopy-themed retro chronographs in the US, along with two new Peanuts-themed Expedition Acadia watches.
