The 34 mm TW2Y12500 pairs a gold-tone case with an acrylic crystal, and has been on pre-order since June.<\/p>\n<p class=\"bodytext\">The recently unveiled <a href=\"https:\/\/timex.com\/products\/peanuts-x-timex-marlin-1965-reissue-inspired-snoopy-tennis-34mm-fabric-strap-watch-tw2y12500\" data-htmlarea-external=\"1\" rtekeep=\"1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Peanuts x Timex Marlin 1965 Reissue Inspired Snoopy Tennis<\/a> has a rotating tennis ball where the seconds hand should be. The TW2Y12500 is listed at $219 on Timex&#8217;s US, UK and Canadian stores, where it has been open for pre-order since late June.  &#13;<\/p>\n<p class=\"bodytext\">It arrived pretty quietly. Timex made no launch announcement. Snoopy shows up on the dial as The World-Famous Tennis Player, caught mid-serve against a denim-print background. The tennis ball sweeping the face as the seconds hand is the only part of the theme that moves; everything else is printed normally.<\/p>\n<p class=\"bodytext\">The case is 34 mm gold-tone polished stainless steel, roughly 10 mm tall, with 18 mm lugs and a listed weight of 33 grams. The crystal is acrylic \u2014 Timex uses it across its Marlin and Q collections for the period-correct dome. It scratches relatively easily, but buffs out with polish.  &#13;<\/p>\n<p class=\"bodytext\">Water resistance is 30 m, which the company qualifies as hand-washing and splashes rather than swimming. The denim fabric strap rests on quick-release bars and fits wrists between 150 and 205 mm. The movement is quartz. However, no caliber has been published.  &#13;<\/p>\n<p class=\"bodytext\">Two other Snoopy Tennis Marlins also launched alongside it; they&#8217;re both hand-wound.
