🔍 Design and Functionality Details

The evolution of the Panda design: Orient reinterprets its acclaimed Panda chronograph, taking the design into a monochromatic and avant-garde realm. The chronograph sub-dials and alarm break up the simplicity of the black dial thanks to a textured finish that optimizes light capture for the hidden solar panels, achieving impeccable readability without losing its dark essence.

Key Benefits for Buyers:

• Zero Maintenance: Thanks to its solar battery, the watch is always ready to wear.

• Forget about opening the case to change the battery every few years, preserving the watch’s original factory water resistance.
• Lightweight Comfort on the Wrist: With a standard 40 mm diameter and a featherlight weight of just 67 grams (thanks to its leather strap configuration), it’s a watch that looks robust but feels barely noticeable during continuous daily wear.
• Extremely Rare Collector’s Item: As this is an exclusive edition available only at select stores in Japan (retailer exclusive model), its availability is extremely limited, making it a coveted item for collectors of rare Orient models.
