As you guys might know I am sucker for mechanical chronographs and especially ones with a vintage panda racing vibe. I just happened to stumble upon this "EMG" project which is carried out by fellow forum members (goody and chicolabronse) and both Ed and Thomas who are known for their fabulous Seagull 1963 projects.
Let me make one thing very clear: I am in no way affiliated with this project or part of the startup group, but do not want to hold out on this very promising looking project chronograph. So get on their preorder list while you still can!
Some details:
It will feature the exact same Seagull 1963 project watch' 42mm case with a new custom panda racing dial and an all new handset! The panda subdials are intended to be "bowl" shaped to add that vintage look with an extra layer of depth and texture.
Case: 42mm diameter Seagull 1963 case
Lug to lug 46mm
22mm lug width
13mm height
Mixed brushed and polished finish bezel and case
Crystal: mineral. As i understood domed acrylic options are being explored
Movement: seagull ST1901 handwinding movement
Dial: matt white with black recessed subdials
Applied indices
BGW9 blue lume
Raised internal tachymeter bezel
Strap: 22mm perforated racing leather. Tapered
Estimated production time is 4-5 months as soon as 50-80 committed backers have been found. Prices vary in between 230$ and 280$ (early bird progressive pricing) plus 30$ shipping.
For more info and to enlist you can send an email to:

They also seem to have a facebook page:

This project watch seems to have a lot going for it and reminds me of some very cool (unaffordable) vintage panda chrono's like the Hamilton chronomatic and Poor mans Heuers!
