Bamford x RÆBURN Snoopy B80 Limited-Edition Watch

In the world of horology, few collaborations capture the essence of innovation and sustainability as profoundly as the Bamford x RÆBURN Snoopy B80 Limited Edition Watch. This unique timepiece, born from a shared passion for Peanuts’ iconic Snoopy, stands as a testament to responsible design and cultural innovation, wrapped in a delightful ‘parachute’ motif.

The Bamford x RÆBURN Snoopy B80 watch (£1350) exudes a captivating earthy colour palette, inspired by RÆBURN’s renowned parachute logo. The dial artwork is playful and nostalgic, featuring Snoopy gracefully descending to Earth with the aid of RÆBURN’s authentic pilot’s parachute. This whimsical design not only adds a touch of charm but also symbolizes the shared mission of Bamford and RÆBURN to champion responsible design and art.

Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, each limited-edition watch comes with an olive strap made from recycled RÆBURN parachute material. This eco-friendly approach underscores the commitment to sustainability, ensuring that every aspect of the watch aligns with the ethos of environmental responsibility. To further elevate the unboxing experience, the watch is elegantly presented in a distinctive PEANUTS doghouse box crafted from FSC-certified recycled wood, merging nostalgia with eco-conscious design.

Beyond its aesthetic appeal, the Bamford x RÆBURN Snoopy B80 is a marvel of engineering. It houses a Sellita SW300-1 automatic movement, boasting 25 jewels, a high frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour, and an impressive 56-hour power reserve. This ensures that the watch not only looks good but also performs with exceptional precision and reliability.

The watch’s robust build features a black PVD-coated titanium case, which is both lightweight and durable. Measuring 39 mm in diameter and 10.5 mm in thickness, the case strikes a perfect balance between presence and comfort. The sapphire crystal with antiglare treatment ensures clear visibility in all lighting conditions, while the PVD-coated titanium caseback adds an extra layer of durability and sophistication.

With a water resistance of up to 100 meters (10 ATM), the Bamford x RÆBURN Snoopy B80 is ready for any adventure, be it urban or aquatic. The 20mm lug width ensures that the watch sits comfortably on the wrist, complemented by the unique strap that speaks volumes about its sustainable origins.
