Retro "Panda Face" Watches Guide

The Rolex Cosmograph Daytona was born in 1963 and is designed to meet the timing needs of professional endurance racers. Therefore, this watch is exactly the same as the performance and excellence pursued by the racing world. The white round dial has a chronograph at 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock respectively to display the elapsed hours and minutes. The central second hand of the timer can be accurate to 1/8 second, and the timing is accurate and reliable. The strap is composed of three rows of wide, flat links, which is extremely strong and is also the most widely used strap in the Oyster series. The watch is equipped with a Cal.4130 model movement with a power reserve of up to 72 hours.

Omega Speedmaster SPEEDY TUESDAY limited edition watch, the panda disc watch, there is also a reverse color panda disc, the background color of the dial is black, and the three sub-discs are white. For example, this Omega watch is a remake of the 1978 Speedmaster series "Alaska Plan III" watch, which is a typical replica watch. The watch is equipped with a matte case with anti-reflective function, and the small dial is equipped with large digital hour markers, which are clear and easy to read. The black dial is matched with the light silver sub-dial, and its design is like a panda face with inverted hue. The outer edge of the dial is surrounded by a black aluminum bezel. The dial is inlaid with the vintage rhodium-plated Ω brand logo, and the hour markers are covered with Super-LumiNova luminous coating. The logos and sub-dials on all dials are coated with luminous coating. The arched carbon fiber table mirror is decorated with the Omega brand logo in the center. The Omega Speedmaster replica watch is equipped with a vintage brown leather strap, carried in a special watch box, with a "NATO" NATO military nylon strap. Equipped with Omega 1861 movement inside.

TAG Heuer AUTAVIA series watch, Autavia is abbreviated from the two words AUTomobile and AVIAtion. It is synonymous with the rotating bezel, the super snail-shaped chronograph and the classic black and white color scheme. The design was inspired by the Autavia “Rindt” worn by the legendary F1 champion Jochen Rindt in 1966. This brand classic, which was born in 1962, now incorporates newly upgraded functions and a proprietary self-made movement, and comes out with a new retro look. The size of the watch has been expanded from the original 39 mm in the 1960s to a more eye-catching 42 mm. With a 12-hour scale bezel and a new Heuer-02 dedicated chronograph movement, the new Autavia watch inherits the original watch series Design concept and aesthetic style. Its functions can better meet contemporary needs: the self-winding movement has a power reserve of 80 hours, a date window at 6 o'clock and a water resistance of 100 meters. The two-way grooved bezel made of black aluminum alloy echoes the black dial and three white luminous timing discs. At the same time, the stainless steel hands and applied hour markers covered with Super-LumiNova beige luminous coating are also very clear and easy to read.

Breitling Navitimer 8 named this series after the number "8" in order to pay tribute to the Breitling "Huit Aviation Department" founded in 1938 by Willy Breitling, the third-generation heir of the brand ("huit" means "8" in French). This department focuses on creating cockpit timers for civil aviation and military aircraft and classic aviation watches. The term "Huit" represents the eight-day power reserve of the cockpit timer at the time. This new series once again demonstrates the cockpit timer of the "Huit Aviation Flight Department" and the design concept of Breitling's classic 768 aviation watch. The new dial and bezel part echoes the cockpit timer at that time; the rotating bezel and the unique triangular hands are the finishing touches of the 768 aviation watch, which is deeply loved and sought after by pilots. The strong contrast design of the luminous hands and the black dial ensures the best readability under any lighting conditions.
