Hands-On Review Of TAG Heuer Glassbox Panda 2024

A new Carrera that's equal parts heritage and modern.
I've written and talked at length about how the Glassbox feels on my wrist so I won't belabor points I've made before: compact, wearable, with this sloped dial that, over the course of wearing one for a week, went from weird to downright compelling.
Last year, TAG Heuer introduced a blue and black dial Glassbox and it was pretty easy to categorize the two: blue = modern, black = heritage-inspired. But this year's panda rises above the blue and black because it does a better job of blending the two. It takes the vintage inspiration of the 7753SN panda, but introduces just a few more modern cues. While I'm still not sure about the phantom running seconds and cutout date at 6 o'clock, the red accents work for me.
