Neotype gives the LM02 Type C a gold-PVD Reverse Panda dial

Neotype's LM02 Type C Reverse Panda, reference LM02C4A, switches to a black sandwich dial with bright white chronograph registers and Old Radium-toned markers. Its sandblasted 39 mm steel case receives a warm yellow-gold PVD treatment, creating a striking contrast with the black ceramic bezel and FKM strap.

The Seiko VK64 meca-quartz movement combines quartz timekeeping with a mechanically operated chronograph. The 200 m water-resistance rating, screw-down controls and thick double-domed sapphire crystal make the styling more than a decorative reference to classic motor-racing watches.

The model was announced alongside a steel Panda version in November 2025. Only 75 Reverse Panda pieces were planned. This is historical watch-release coverage, dated to the original announcement rather than a new October 2026 launch.
