Update:

On Saturday night, I've introduced my newly arrived vintage Voltaire Reverse Panda Chronograph. The exciting bit of news is that the movement used in the watch is in fact, a Valjoux 7733.

Primarily due to the anti-magnetic pallet wheel that gives
the movement it's anti-magnetic properties, which is not found on the Landeron. Unlike the Landeron, the bottom pusher does not stop the chronograph split seconds.

The beat rate is 18,000 vibrations per hour with 45 hour power reserve, it has a 60 sub-seconds totalizer at 9 and 45 minutes totalizer at 3. It is a cam switched mechanism just like the rest of the 77-series of Valjoux movements.
