Specialist note

The present watch, nicknamed 'The Golden Panda', was produced on October 17, 1997 in a limited edition of 40 examples.

The Golden Panda features a dial that seems to have inspired the Speedmaster Automatic Racing Michael Schumacher that was introduced six years later in 2003 and also the First OMEGA in Space in Sedna gold introduced in 2015.

The dial on the Golden Panda is silvery-white with black registers and a matching black outer track. The Golden Panda is somewhat reminiscent of the gold Rolex “Paul Newman” Daytona models with champagne dials and black registers with a black outer track.
