The "Panda" chronograph is a literal interpretation of a panda, featuring chronograph pushers shaped like ears and a "sasameter" scale on the dial flange, which measures speed up to 30 km/h, approximating a panda's maximum running speed.
Two variants are available: ref. HHK001 in black and white, and ref. HHK002 in pink and black, inspired by a baby panda.
The design is based on a concept watch by Kiyotaka Sakai, with minor dial tweaks for legibility and the addition of a "nose" and "mouth" elements.
The watch uses a stainless steel case and the quartz Cal. 8T61 movement with a three-year battery life.
