Orient x Peanuts 75th Anniversary: Snoopy Meets Horology
This year marks the 75th anniversary of two iconic brands: Orient and Peanuts. To celebrate this milestone, they have collaborated to release four limited-edition watches that blend nostalgia with classic timekeeping. The collection includes two Bambino models from the Classic collection, a Semi Skeleton from the Contemporary collection, and a Mako from the Sports collection.
A Nostalgic Design with a Playful Twist
Each watch in this collection features a white or beige dial, showcasing Snoopy lounging at 6 o’clock, accompanied by his faithful companion Woodstock wearing a gold crown. The vintage Orient logo at 12 o’clock enhances the retro aesthetic, while the Bambino and Mako models include a surprise—a yellow Woodstock appears in the date window at 3 o’clock on the first day of each month. The case backs are adorned with the 75th-anniversary logos of both brands, making these watches even more special.
Powered by automatic movements with a 40-hour power reserve, these timepieces offer reliability along with their charming designs. Let’s take a closer look at each model:
