01 / The design

The design, in detail

The original Rolex Cosmograph Daytona, introduced in 1963, made the racing chronograph a benchmark of functional design. Its tachymeter scale and measured arrangement of counters still give the category its distinctive rhythm. The contrast between the main dial and chronograph counters makes the timing layout especially clear. For Panda II, USAMODWATCH brings those historical design cues into an independently assembled custom edition.

An independent custom watch, assembled by USAMODWATCH.

Dial and case color relationship
02 / The color

Color, held in contrast

In Panda II, the light tones and contrasting chronograph counters give this edition its graphic identity. The registers read as distinct instruments within the dial rather than mere decoration. It is the measured contrast, ot the number of colors, that gives the composition its energy.
04 / The movement

The VK63
Meca-quartz chronograph

The VK63 meca-quartz movement pairs quartz-regulated timekeeping with a mechanically operated chronograph. The central chronograph hand advances in one-fifth-second steps and snaps back to zero when reset. Battery power removes the need for daily winding, while the timing registers give the dial its instrument-like purpose.

The smaller displays have distinct roles: elapsed minutes, running seconds and a 24-hour indication. The 24-hour display follows the main time; it is not a second time zone.
