| The Peanuts x Timex Expedition Acadia TW2Y84600 and TW2Y84700. |
The Beagle Scout returns in a budget-friendly resin case that doesn't skimp on charm.
Watch enthusiasts and Peanuts fans alike have reason to celebrate this August as Timex quietly dropped two new additions to their beloved Snoopy collaboration lineup. The Peanuts x Timex Expedition Acadia references TW2Y84600 and TW2Y84700 are now available, and at just $119 each, they represent the most affordable entry point into this nostalgic partnership.
The new releases join a broader collection priced between $189 and $229, making these resin-cased options a genuine steal for collectors on a budget. The cost savings come primarily from the case material—durable lightweight resin instead of the stainless steel found on pricier models—but the charm remains entirely intact.
Two Distinct Looks, One Classic Character
The TW2Y84600 features an earthy green dial paired with an olive silicone strap, accented by a cheerful yellow seconds hand that adds a pop of unexpected brightness. Its counterpart, the TW2Y84700, takes a more vintage-inspired approach with a warm cream dial and navy strap, with blue printing throughout that gives it a distinctly nautical feel.
Hardware specifications are otherwise identical, allowing buyers to choose based purely on aesthetic preference. Both dials showcase Snoopy in his Beagle Scout uniform, a motif that first appeared in the Peanuts comic strip in 1974. Woodstock and a trail of his feathered friends follow behind the beloved beagle against a stunning mountain backdrop.
This isn't Timex's first rodeo with the Beagle Scout theme—an earlier Acadia collaboration celebrated the troop's 50th anniversary on a fabric strap. The new releases continue this tradition of honoring Charles Schulz's enduring creation.
Familiar Expedition DNA with Playful Touches
The dial layout follows the classic Expedition formula that Timex fans know and love. Full Arabic numerals mark the hours with a 24-hour scale printed inside for military-style readability. A prominent triangular marker sits at 12 o'clock, while a practical date window resides at the three o'clock position.
Luminous fill coats both the hands and markers, ensuring legibility in low-light conditions. The 50-meter water resistance rating is printed tastefully above six, confirming these watches can handle splashes and brief immersion but aren't intended for serious swimming or diving.

Built for Everyday Wear
At 40mm in diameter, the resin case strikes an ideal balance—substantial enough to make a statement yet comfortable for all-day wear. The lightweight material keeps the watch barely noticeable on the wrist, and the moulded crown guard adds a sporty element while protecting the crown from impacts.
The grooved silicone strap features quick-release spring bars, allowing for easy strap changes without any tools. This practical detail means you can swap between the included silicone strap and countless other options in your collection, personalizing the watch to suit any occasion.
Power comes from a reliable battery-powered quartz analog movement, ensuring accurate timekeeping with minimal maintenance. The quartz caliber also contributes to the watch's accessible price point, delivering dependable performance without the service costs associated with mechanical movements.
A Partnership Decades in the Making
Timex and Peanuts have maintained a collaborative relationship for decades, with numerous releases that celebrate the cultural impact of Schulz's characters. The collaboration continues to delight both watch collectors and comic strip enthusiasts, bridging generations through shared nostalgia.
Beyond the Acadia releases, a separate Peanuts Expedition Scout has also launched at $129. That model swaps the Beagle Scout artwork for cardinal direction markers, offering a slightly more utilitarian aesthetic for those who prefer a less whimsical dial.
Both Acadia references are now listed on Timex's US and EU stores, though we couldn't pinpoint an exact launch date. Evidence suggests they appeared in the first half of August, likely flying somewhat under the radar compared to previous high-profile collaboration announcements.
The Verdict
At $119, these Peanuts x Timex Expedition Acadia watches offer remarkable value. The resin case keeps costs down without sacrificing the design integrity that makes these collaborations so desirable. Whether you choose the earthy green or the cream dial variant, you're getting a fun, functional timepiece that celebrates one of the most beloved comic characters in history.
For collectors, these represent an accessible entry point into Timex's expansive Snoopy catalog. For casual buyers, they're simply charming watches that spark conversation and bring a smile to the wearer's face.
The combination of lightweight construction, practical features, and unmistakable Peanuts charm makes both references worthy additions to any collection. At this price point, picking up both might just be the most sensible option.
Timex continues to prove that affordability and quality need not be mutually exclusive, and these two new releases are testament to that philosophy. Snoopy fans, watch enthusiasts, and anyone who appreciates good design should take notice—these won't stay on shelves forever.
