Orient Neo 70's Neo 70's Solar Panda Sporty Watch, Dark Gray

Product Information

The sporty and stylish Stuhrling Formula 891 watch is certainly an eye-catcher. Staying true to its moniker, the Formulai 891 chronograph watch delivers that F1 race car appeal with its auto-inspired aesthetics. This panda dial watch from Stuhrling hits all the keynotes perfectly and manages to retain a very reasonable price making it even more enticing.

The Bulova Marine Star 96B255is a classy timepiece that touches upon the panda dial aesthetic a bit. While not very prominent, the Marine Star 96B255 does incorporate the panda dial design but at a more subdued approach. It features a stainless-steel build with a silver-tone accent complementing the white dial base. The most devoted watch nerds may be scared away by the fact that this watch does not use mechanical movement. But the quartz movement obviously has some practical benefits, most notably using solar technology which powers the movement and eliminates the need for replacing the battery (or having to manually wind it, if it would have been a mechanical movement). In addition, at a price of around 300 USD, the quartz movement doesn’t feel like a deal-breaker.I bought this watch because it is a chronograph with the sought-after "panda" dial. And a pretty one at that. Also it is very affordable IMO. The dial is slightly creamy in color, not snow white and has a hint of a brushed metal look. The good news about quartz movements is of course that they are very reliable, durable, robust, and affordable to maintain. Specifications Without further ado, let’s review the Orient Neo 70 Solar Panda WV0041TX. Photo by Practicalwatch Orient Neo 70 WV0041TX case

The case features a thin polished fixed bezel which makes for a clean and refined look. The top of the lugs are brushed, and this is in turn contrasted with polished sides. The actual dial measures about 38.5mm, in comparison to the 42mm diameter, and this also contributes to making the watch appear slightly smaller than it actually is. Photo by bshah1976 @Watchuseek Yes, there are some downsides, such as the date window, or, for some, that it has a quartz movement, but it’s evident that the pros outweigh the cons, especially for a watch at this price.The good news, however, is the fact that it can come in handy and be truly useful in everyday life. It's just a pretty watch .. I love it on my wrist .. can't keep my eyes off it .. and they delivered it so fast it will not be the last time for sure Seiko never disappoints when it comes to delivering stylish timepieces that are as equally as functional as they are stunning. One such example is the Solar Chronograph (SSC446) which fuses together that trendy charm of panda dial design with a little tweak that pushes the deluxe appeal to the max. The Timewalker was already quite a looker, and now it has that distinct duality charm that panda dial watches enjoy. This is another high-end luxury timepiece that focuses more on delivering a more robust appearance than the typical elegant aesthetics of a luxury watch.
