Roland and the team at RGM have once again made something that makes me smile! The 151 "Snoopy Flying Ace" is available in two versions - the Grand Feu Enamel (above), and the Blue Sky (below).

Let's start with the Grand Feu Enamel version.

It is true to its advertising! In their own words:

RGM Watch Company introduces the Model 151 Snoopy Flying Ace, a refined pilot-style timepiece. The watch features Snoopy in his iconic World War I Flying Ace persona, believed to be the first depiction of the character executed on a true grand feu enamel dial.

The grand feu enamel dial is produced through a demanding multi-stage firing process, where layers of enamel are applied and kiln-fired at high temperatures. This technique yields a glass enamel white surface with exceptional depth and permanence. The dial’s artwork—including Snoopy, his red doghouse, and surrounding clouds—are fired into the enamel, creating a miniature work of art. A light blue metal dial variant is also available, offering a more accessible interpretation of the design.

It is, truly beautiful. And if you are a Snoopy fan like yours truly? It becomes a bit of an obsession ; )

A bit more modest, but in my eyes just as wonderful, the "Snoopy Flying Ace" Blue Sky.

The dial is metal, but that in no way detracts from its wonderful impact. I've said it before, and I'll say it again - I fall in love too easily...

The 151 models have an American-made case in either stainless steel or titanium. Any stainless steel version can be polished, brushed, or a combination of both finishes. Titanium cases have a brushed finish only. The thin bezel and large dial are a hallmark of the 151 models; in fact, the dial is larger than watches of a much greater size. The case is thin for its diameter and curves comfortably to the wrist.

RGM tends to have the ability to make something you didn't know you wanted, and slip it into the lineup so that it jumps out at you one morning, confirming that once again they have given you an itch that now must be scratched ; )

This is the 151 Left Handed Model from the folks in Lancaster.  The case is of stainless steel, measuring 38.5.  It can also be had in titanium.  The movement is ETA's 2892-A2 self-winding.

A pilot's watch without being too "piloty", this is a neat one!
