Depancel launches its new Legend 60s, a hand-wound chronograph that reopens a historic chapter in 1960s Formula 1 timekeeping.
Available in two emblematic variations of vintage chronos that offer maximum readability, the ‘Panda’ and the ‘Reverse Panda’, this new chronograph is equipped with a Seagull ST1901 manual movement, derived from the historic Venus 175 and visible through the transparent caseback.
In stainless steel, alternating polished and satin surfaces, the case remains faithful to the aesthetic codes of the 60s, with only 39mm of diameter. It is equipped with an anti-reflective ‘glass box’ sapphire crystal and a micro perforated strap mirroring the pattern found on drivers’ gloves. The dial features a double tachymeter and pulsometer scale, designed to measure the driver’s speed and heart rate.
The first 240 pieces of each dial will be specially numbered from 001 to 240, and delivered in a collector’s edition accompanied by a poster signed by the founder of the brand. It is available for pre-orders as of today, March 28 on the brand’s website, depancel.com.
