The PAC-76 is a modern revival of 1970s military analog chronographs, featuring oversized 12 and 6 indexes for improved legibility and a vintage aesthetic. This watch pays homage to the bi-compax chronographs used by the USAF and RAF, which pilots relied on for calculating speed, fuel consumption, and navigation.

The PAC-76 enhances legibility with varying textures: debossed sub-dials have a vinyl texture, while the main dial features a popcorn texture, reducing the risk of confusion. Embossed indexes add volume for easier reading.

The sand colored distressed leather strap offers a modern take on the classic straps used in original military chronographs. One of the best features is that the strap will acquire a unique patina over time, adding to its character with wear.

Powered by the VK-64 Meca-Quartz movement, the PAC-76 is only 11.3mm thick and has a 38.5mm diameter, offering a comfortable fit. Its asymmetrical case design protects the pushers from side impacts.
