Timex’s Latest Snoopy Collab Is Ready for the Pickleball Court

While countless Snoopy tickers have been produced over the years, his proper foray into the watch world began in 1968, shortly after the moon landing.

Omega, the famed maker of the official Speedmaster Moonwatch. Decades later, in 2002, the brand would produce the first-ever Snoopy Speedmaster, this one dubbed the ‘Silver Snoopy’ and featuring the spacefaring doggo on the left subdial.
