On Tuesday, Omega released two new versions of the Speedmaster Moonwatch Professional in Black and White - or, as the watch world is inevitably going to call it, the "Reverse Panda." (A "panda" is a white-dialed chronograph with black subdials, while a "reverse panda" features a black dial with white subdials.) While there have been reverse-panda Speedies before, these have largely been "reduced" automatic Speedmaster watches or special editions such as the "Speedy Tuesday" made with Fratello in 2017.

Before getting into this story, I need to make one thing clear: I don't own a watch. It's not because I dislike them or because I'm a member of Gen Z who can't read analog. I'm just a 29-year-old millennial who relies on my phone a little too much - time-telling included. On Sunday, though, I had the urge to change that.

Founded in 1839, Patek Philippe is widely considered the finest watchmaker in the world. The firm's vision is synonymous with inspired design, exclusivity, and quality.
