Part of a long standing range of licensed character watches from the popular Peanuts cartoon. The watch features an image of snoopy playing tennis on a red background. This is a mystery dial watch. The sweeping seconds hand is replaced with a tennis ball which rotates around the dial. The crystal for this watch is unique and can not be found on any other model. There is no 100% accurate replacement available from modern suppliers. The closest is a high dome crystal.
The watch box below is again unique to this piece. It has a white base where as all other Penusts mystery dial watches had a green base. This one has a wide hoop inside which needs to be replaced with the smaller genuine one to be factory correct.
