Marchand Driver Chrono MkII Meca-Quartz Reverse Panda 43mm
Dark, purposeful and unmistakably inspired by the golden age of GT racing.
The MARCHAND Driver Chronograph MkII Black Reverse Panda combines a semi-gloss black dial with contrasting ivory subdials and flashes of orange, recalling the instrumentation and colour schemes of performance cars from the 1970s and 1980s.
The 43mm brushed 316L steel case is complemented by a polished and brushed bezel, while a flat sapphire crystal protects the recessed chronograph displays.
Inside is the Seiko VK64 hybrid meca-quartz chronograph movement — combining quartz accuracy and convenience with the crisp, more mechanical feel that makes meca-quartz chronographs so enjoyable to operate.
A perforated leather rally strap completes the motorsport character, while the caseback carries an engraved 1970s racing driver's helmet.
Why buy it?
Because reverse panda chronographs have an effortless sporting character.
The black dial gives this version a more purposeful personality than the classic Panda, while the ivory and orange accents prevent it from becoming too serious.
Classic racing style, modern reliability and just enough colour to remind you that driving is supposed to be fun.
