Unless you really want bioceramic, the Pagani Design PD-1701 v3 just might be the MoonSwatch killer you didn't know you were looking for! Of course this Speedy homage is outside of the family, but at under $90 USD it's easy to relate this stainless steel homage to the plastic version, instead of the much higher priced original. In this in-depth unboxing video I'll walk you through all the specs and features of this chronograph utilizing the Seiko VK63 mecha-quartz movement.

AliExpress never seems to make sense, and in that tradition I can't find this watch in the Pagani Design Official Store. But is that even THEIR store?! So, here's an affiliate link to the store that has sold over 3,000 of this watch: s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DBl...
It's more expensive directly from Pagani Design's website, but shipping is surprisingly fast. This is not an affiliate link: www.paganidesign.cn/products/...
If you’re one that doesn’t shop on AliExpress, here’s an affiliate link to the watch on Amazon. It costs a little more than directly from AliExpress, but you’ll receive the package a little sooner. Amazon stocks these in and ships from the USA. amzn.to/3RfqcYN

7:00 Thats not a dot over 90.

@WatchWitt Год назад

Ahhhh! You’re right! For some reason I interpreted this dot next to 90 as dot over 90. Thanks for setting me straight! This one is higher than the modern dot next to 90, but not over the zero enough to be DON. Sort of splits the difference.

@mysticstarhf9265 Год назад

I have a real Omega Speedmaster Professional and I had considered the MoonSwatch for those times when I would be doing an activity that might risk damage to the Speedmaster. Then I read many complaints about the plastic pieces breaking off or the color dying your skin or the velcro strap being uncomfortable. Then I saw the PD1701. I bought it and I've had it for three weeks. I never told the wife and after three weeks she hasn't even noticed I'm not wearing my real Speedmaster. In fact, nobody I know has noticed the difference and they all know how much I wanted and how happy I was when I bought the real Speedmaster; a dream of mine. It is surprising close, so close, an untrained eye would never notice the difference. Plus the durability of the stainless steel over "bio ceramic" (aka plastic) can't be beat.....and it's less than half the cost of the MoonSwatch. Although my PD1701 did not come with the nylon strap option; which is okay for me, I prefer the stainless steel bracelet. And, mine came with the tool to remove and reset the pins in the links; quite helpful.

@WatchWitt Год назад

That’s awesome! My intention of this video was to shed light on a Swatch alternative, but your comments on this watch being a “beater backup” to the actual Speedmaster are cool! Others, who also own a Speedy, have left similar comments to yours. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

@williamthomas6106 Год назад

I will never be able to justify the cost of a Speedy. But I do have the Bulova Lunar Pilot. And there are places I don't want that watch to go (Like the pool). So the PD1701 fits that bill nicely.

@WatchWitt Год назад

Love the Lunar Pilot! Yes, this totally makes sense as a beater back up for that watch too!

@daleyfamily2179 10 месяцев назад

I think you just made the point that its not a homage at all. Its clomge, a copy. All they did to keep from being labeled a fake is put their own name on it. Sad. Why would you buy a speed master then wear a pagani? That's like buying an original Porsche speedster then buying a kit car speedster and only driving it. Sad sad sad. Your man card is revoked. SMH.

@mysticstarhf9265 10 месяцев назад

@@daleyfamily2179 Because in the very first sentence of my post I mentioned there are certain hobbies I have where I know from experience the watch will get damaged working in my shop. Why would I or anyone wear a $7,000 watch into an environment where I know up front it's going to receive damage (either minor or major)? That's why I was looking at a cheaper watch for those situations but with the look of Speedy (because I love the look). Outside of the hobbies, I wear the real Speedy. I did the wear test in normal daily wear on the Pagani just as a curiosity to see if anyone noticed.

@OriginalKKB Год назад

I have a Speedmaster and at a glance this is shockingly similar. They did very well, especially for the price. It blows the Moonswatch out of the water

@WatchWitt Год назад

I’m sure you’d be able to pick apart the PG if you had it in hand next to your Speedmaster. But, yeah, they certainly achieved the goal of a clean, low budget homage. And you can just about buy three of these for the price of one MoonSwatch!

Lower price and possibly better quality, or at least a more robust case! Thanks AJ…you never know what drives a video’s popularity! Glad enthusiasts are enjoying this one, though!

@tablameister Год назад

Thanks for the video. I agree with your sentiments. I got interested in watches again when the moonswatch came out. I was disappointed by the total lack of availability and then, after watching some reviews, I was apalled to discover how cheaply they made the moonswatch. I purchased the PD1701 V3 during one of their many sales (about $70USD) and love it. I wish Pagani Design would leave off the words "Pagani Design" on the dial and just have their logo, as they have done on some other models. But no complaints for what I paid for it.

@WatchWitt Год назад

I’m with you on ditching the signature. I’ve also seen some of their other dials with just an applied logo and it looks nice. At the price you paid you can buy three of these and dinner out instead of one MoonSwatch!

@elefant5772 Год назад

I find the name "Pagani Design" funny. "Pagani" means "pagans" in Italian. The term "pagan" has meanings identical to those of "heathen", which has been used in ancient and medieval times pejoratively for someone who is polytheistic, savage and not cultured. The watches from "Pagani Design" are just that, an uncultivated design steal. Chinese manufacturers don't seem to take themselves too seriously.😄

@Krikitt Год назад

Been my daily, I wear this more lately than my Swiss watch worth thousands. It’s the best made and best quality Pagani design that they have come out with

@WatchWitt Год назад

My first Pagani, so guess I picked a good one! Well, RU-vid viewers actually gave me the idea, like I mentioned. I’m wearing this more than I thought I would…seems to fit well as my daily watch too.

@lundsweden Год назад

I might add too everything works perfectly, such as the crown adjustment ect. Finishing is nigh on perfect too!

@WatchWitt Год назад

As it should! I’ll throw in that I thought the finishing is pretty rough, but not out of wack for this price point.

@brianmsahin Год назад

Definitely better than a Moonswatch! I actually got one, didn't like, sold it to my best bud for the retail price I paid. I told him it was basically trash but he wanted it. The strap got frayed in a couple of days and then the top pusher fell off after a week and it's gone, on the street somewhere. I gave him the warranty and sales receipt so hopefully he can get it fixed. This Pagani is good value for the price. The Seiko movement is a good one that is in more expensive microbrands. I'd probably swap the bracelet for that black and grey NATO, would definitely look good on that. Excellent review!

@WatchWitt Год назад

Yeah, I wanted a MoonSwatch, but after A) not being able to buy one online and B) hearing stories like yours, the urge to own quickly died. I like this bracelet, but as soon as I popped the black Tropic-style FKM strap on it, I was sold! All and all the watch seems to be great value at under $90. Has the appearance of a more expensive piece. Brushing is a little rough, but not atrocious. I’ll have to do a full review down the road to see how this one holds up. It should get a lot of wear…perfect watch on work days for me. Not to dressy, not too casual, beater-priced in case it gets damaged.

@brianmsahin Год назад

I got the Snoopy version (blue and white) and love it. FAR superior to the MoonSwatch, which unfortunately did not set a very high bar. Swatch would have done so much better if they had purchased these from Pagani and then just put their own name on it. As for the MoonSwatch, people were hoping for an Omega for the price of a Swatch, but ended up hoping for an Omega but getting a Swatch.

Haha! I’m laughing at your suggestion Swatch should have got PG to manufacture for them! Too funny! The blue and white looks cool…but I love the classic black.

I have this in white dial and deep blue bezel and chronos. It also has a blue nylon strap. My fave is the PD-1685 nylon strap and tht Omega wave pattern dial. OMG The strap is elegant easy to use but somewhat cheap. Thing a better quality strap with the flip over clasp will cost you 3/4 the price of the watch

I’ve been known to pair a strap with a watch that costs WAY less than the bracelet! But I’ve also put a $3 strap on a nearly $2k piece! Hey, whatever looks good.

It's hard to explain. You see a watch with striking looks/design/build and a low price. It's obtainable. For many, it's as close as they'll ever get to owning the original. Like, if Honda made a version of a Porsche...you know it's not a Porsche, but it has the looks and feel of it. The engine is reliable and you can afford it! Win! Not the best analogy, but you get the idea.
