Timex has released a new version of its Weekender watch in collaboration with the Peanuts franchise, featuring a Day of the Dead (Día de los Muertos) theme just in time for Halloween. The watch is available now in the US and the UK directly through the Timex website, priced at $189 and £155, respectively.
Design Details
The watch (TW2Y85900) features a custom dark blue dial with an illustration of Snoopy surrounded by traditional Day of the Dead-inspired motifs.
To make the design visible at night, Timex included its standard Indiglo backlight technology. Pressing the crown illuminates the entire dial from behind, which highlights the specific patterns of the artwork.
Alongside the Indiglo feature, the watch hands and the full Arabic numeral markers have a standard luminescent fill for basic low-light reading without needing to press the button.
As for the hardware, it uses the standard 40mm Weekender case design. The case is made of polished silver-tone low-lead brass, measuring 10mm thick with a 47.5mm lug-to-lug distance. The whole unit weighs 54.5 grams.
The dial is protected by a mineral glass crystal, which provides basic scratch and heat resistance for everyday wear. Inside, the watch runs on a standard battery-powered quartz analog movement, powered by a CR2016 coin-cell battery.
The watch ships with a 20mm black natural leather strap with a standard buckle. According to Timex, the leather is treated with oil and wax to help resist water and will soften as it gets worn. The band is designed to fit wrist circumferences between 5.9 and 8.1 inches (150 to 205mm).
For durability, the watch has a water resistance rating of 50 meters. This means it can handle splashes, rain, or a light swim, but it is not built for snorkeling or diving. Timex also says that the crown should not be pressed while submerged to maintain the water seal.
In related news, Timex has recently launched the 1978 Day Date Fumé Reissue in the US with a stunning brown gradient dial, alongside the Pan Am Waterbury GMT featuring a striking two-tone dial and quartz movement.
