The “Panda dial” configuration—white dial with contrasting black subdials—is where this reference truly shines. It’s a design language rooted in vintage racing chronographs, instantly legible and effortlessly stylish.

On the 79260, the panda layout is executed with subtle sophistication:

• Crisp white or porcelain dial base
• Bold black sub-registers (12, 6, and 9 o’clock)
• A date window at 3 o’clock
• Clean tachymeter bezel framing the dial

Inside the 79260 beats the robust ETA 7750 automatic chronograph movement—a workhorse calibre known for its durability and ease of servicing.

While it may not carry in-house prestige, it offers something arguably more important for a vintage daily wearer: reliability. This makes the 79260 not just a collector’s piece, but a watch you can actually wear without hesitation.
