Choose from TAG Heuer, Vacheron Constantin and Montblanc, the signature “panda face”! ── A very special chronograph 3 choices | GQ Japan

Don’t underestimate the destructive power of a panda’s face!

It came out from Vacheron Constantin, so catch up on “Panda” again this year. Even in the “Overseas” series, the panda’s face stands out.

Why is a chronograph with a black enamel on a white or silver dial so destructive? It started as a racing chronograph in the 1960s, but has rebounded in popularity in recent years and has quickly become a trend.

The dark gray and black sub-setting that Montblanc adopted is a recent innovation for the Panda. The “Reverse Panda” (“Panda Anversé” in the French-speaking world) with a black dial and white subs, this 39mm TAG Heuer “Carrera” model has really good taste.
