A **panda** watch is one with black [[subdial]]s on a light or white [[dial]].

One of the most famous "panda" dials is the legendary [[Rolex Cosmograph Daytona|exotic-dial "Paul Newman" Rolex Daytona]]. These feature a plain dial with even the hour markers moved to an outer ring with three black subdials at 3 00, 6 00, and 9 00. The desirability of these watches and their resemblance to the panda bear gave rise to "panda" as a generic term for any black-on-white chronograph watch.

Numerous other companies have created panda-dial chronographs over the years. Examples include the [[Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Chronograph]], [[Omega Speedmaster]], [[Seiko 6138]], [[TAG Heuer Carrera]], and [[Zenith Chronomaster]]. Some would call watches with the [[Valjoux 7750]], with subdials at 6 00, 9 00, and 12 00 "**semi-panda**", and versions with white-on-black dials "**reverse-panda**".
