By Available in three colorways, panda (white dial, black sundials), evil panda (black dial, white sundials, and red seconds hand), and blue (with touches of orange) for $260.
With a 39mm case, it features a Seiko Mecha-quartz movement.
Now that we got that out of the way most blogs and on the forums will say the inspiration for this piece is a Universal Genève Compax Chronograph “Nina Rindt” with a tad bit of a Paul Newman Daytona (subdials)They are absolutely right. But there is something I saw in that Panda that reminded of an Omega Speedmaster.
The Omega I am referring to is the Mitsukoshi Speedmaster. Limited to 300 pieces, a very rare model.Read more here about the Mitsukoshi Speedmaster HERE
It may be a stretch to some but this is what made me ultimately decide on purchasing the panda model. That and also the fact that the other colorways are easily attainable from other brands but hardly anyone makes a nice white dial with black subdials anymore.
Stayed tuned for a full review on the Dan Henry 1962 Panda and how it matches up against the Alpha Chronograph and Dryden Chronograph.
