RGM introduces the Model 151 “Snoopy Flying Ace.”

(USA, Mount Joy, PA) May 2026 –

“Snoopy Flying Ace”

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.

The watch is housed in a 38.5 mm stainless steel case machined near RGM’s Pennsylvania workshop and hand-finished in-house. Powering the Model 151 is the Swiss-made RGM-Sellita SW300-1 automatic movement, featuring a rhodium-plated finish, decorative côtes de Genève and perlage, and a 52–56 hour power reserve.

Founded in 1992 by American watchmaker Roland G. Murphy, RGM produces approximately 400 watches annually, many of them bespoke. Known for its dedication to traditional techniques such as guilloché and in-house movement production, RGM continues to play a leading role in the revival of fine American watchmaking. The Snoopy Flying Ace theme, drawn from Charles M. Schulz’s enduring Peanuts legacy, is a natural fit for the aviation-inspired Model 151.

Model 151 

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 hallmarks 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.
