Pancor first popped up on the crowdfunding scene two years ago with their inaugural project, the Pancor P01?an aviation inspired meca-quartz chronograph that surpassed its funding goal. Now, Pancor has returned to Kickstarter with their second watch, the Pancor P02.
The custom 316L stainless steel case measures 42mm wide, 50mm lug-to-lug, and 12mm thick; it’s a size that seems to be right in the middle of “small” and “big” in an attempt to appeal to a larger range of potential customers, especially with the 50mm lug-to-lug being relatively versatile. The case features a sapphire crystal and 100 meters of water resistance, and the display back shows the Miyota 9132 caliber (more on that in just a moment). Additionally, the back will carry the watch’s serial number. The styling of the case is somewhat familiar, taking after similarly cushion-cased military watches of years past. The case will be available in two versions: a fully-polished finish and a black PVD finish.
Both variants of the P02.

The criteria for the movement was that it had to be an automatic caliber with the ability to hand-wind. It also had to have a power reserve indicator and hacking seconds. With cost in mind, Pancor opted for the Miyota 9132. The 9132 also offers 40 hours of power reserve and a beat rate of 28,800 vph. There’s also a date and a 24-hour sub-dial.

With the P02, the team behind Pancor wanted to create something original and versatile?...
