Does anyone know why it's called a Panda?

Thanks for the great close ups. Wear it in excellent health.

Congrats Sandro! Looks great. I looked at another Panda today. The Silver-dialed WG Daytona.

The configuration of sub-dials on the Daytona more closely resemble a Panda - big black eyes, mouth etc. The sub-dial config on an AP is turned sideways, but folks still call this a Panda dial.
