The Autochron Panda Mecaquartz is a 38 mm steel chronograph with a matte white dial, three black CD-track counters, large luminous indexes and red racing accents, powered by the TMI VK67 meca-quartz chronograph with date. Maximum contrast, so every timing indication reads at a glance.
The design traces back to a 1970s Autochron prototype, a Nivada test piece believed to have been made in about 20 examples and never sold. The Panda keeps its unconventional spirit and racing proportions.
The vertically brushed 316L steel case has polished details, measures 12.65 mm thick and 44.3 mm lug to lug, and carries a signed crown embossed with the shield logo. Around it, the new aluminum bezel turns in one direction with 120 tactile clicks per revolution. A double-domed sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating and 20 ATM water resistance, or 200 m, make it a chronograph for every day.
The meca-quartz movement keeps quartz time and runs the chronograph through a mechanical module: smooth sweep, instant reset, battery life of about three years.

With its white-and-black Panda configuration, this Autochron places legibility at the center of its design. The matte white dial is punctuated by three black CD-track chronograph counters, large luminous indexes and sharply contrasting red accents. The arrangement gives every timing indication its own visual hierarchy while retaining the unconventional spirit that has defined the Autochron since its late-1970s prototype origins. The 38 mm vertically brushed 316L steel case keeps proportions restrained, while the wider 37 mm aluminum bezel introduces 120 tactile clicks per revolution. A double-domed sapphire crystal and 20 ATM / 200 m water resistance give the watch the durability expected from the modern Autochron family. The TMI VK67 Meca-Quartz movement supplies the chronograph and date functions with quartz accuracy and a mechanical-style chronograph experience. Available on the vertically brushed Autochron steel bracelet or perforated black racing strap.
