This still begs the biggest question: Why red and blue? The PanAm logo was blue and white, so it’s definitely not coming from the brand. The closest connection I could find in that regard was a series of old PanAm bag tags from the 1940s which featured the colors red and blue split in a similar way as the eventual bezel, though the colors were reversed. After racking my brain a good deal, I did what anyone in my shoes would … I consulted Jack Forster.
