The Watch
Based on the Grand Tourer Chronographs of the 1960s, its design is inspired by racing watches worn in Sicily and Monaco by the greatest drivers of that era. In 2013 Dan Henry created Timeline Watch which showcases his collection of many hundreds of watches. . Dan Henry, a collector for over 30 years, decided to create affordable watches in 2016 inspired by watches worn by the racers of their day. This Circa. 2020 White Panda Bi Compax 1964 has brushed sides and polished lug tops, a 37.5mm stainless steel case with slim lugs, and a 44.5mm lug to lug length for a very comfortable fit on the wrist. It's limited to 1964 pieces as in the name. A slim polished bezel protects the double-domed Sapphire coated Mineral crystal with AR treatment for better viewing angles under difficult lighting situations. Its white dial has an outer Tachymetre black on white for better contrast. Chamfered lozenge-shaped indexes with lumiNova ends. Slim baton hands with lumiNova infill tips. Two black sub-dials indicating 24 hours at 3 o’clock and 60 seconds at 9 o’clock. On the reverse a screw-down case back we have an embossed Aston Martin DB5 a nice touch in keeping with its Grand Tourer aesthetic. Water-resistance is rated at 50m. Inside a Seiko Meca-Quartz Cal. VK63 is a mechanical quartz hybrid that has a tuning fork-type quartz crystal. You get the same kind of mechanical resistance when you engage the pushers and a satisfying snap back of the chronograph seconds hand on reset. The watch comes fitted on a 19mm Dan Henry leather strap with a signed buckle.
