The $85 Pagani 'Mission To Alaska' Is A Ton Of Fun 

The 24 hour sub-dial is absolutely useful on a space-themed watch. You need it because there is no day and night in space.

if its a copy its probably better than the original swatch

Tons more value than a Moon Swatch. There's no reason Swatch/Omega couldn't have a done a metal version of their plastic Moon Swatch and still made a bundle of cash. Great video as always.

Jody, Omega recently went to two markers between seconds in the Speedmaster professional because with two markers and three empty spaces you can actually tell sixths of a second, and they are easier to read than five tiny markers. Keep in mind that the latest Omega (the 3861) beats at 3Hz, so it hits 5 positions between each second. Thus, PD’s rendition is actually accurate.

I put mine on a red rubber strap with white accents, based on an Omega design so it fits perfectly. I brought this to my last watch meet. It garnered tons of attention in a room filled with Rolexes, genuine Omegas, Cartiers, APs, etc. More than one attendee said they’d be ordering one for the Summer!

For folks that haven't looked closely, Pagani has two different bezel variants. The red one has a tachymeter that starts at 400, uses an English spelling, and has radially aligned numerals. All of the other colors have a bezel that is more faithful to the actual Speedmaster design. Not sure why they switched it up. I went with the black dial variant as it looks the most like the Alaska Project version to me. Just a bit of fun for the watchbox.

I bought one of these in this color way before you bought yours. It's nothing short of a terrific watch for the money and garners attention virtually everywhere I go. That also might be because I bought both a red and a white silicone band for it, and it really pops on the white band. Since I'll only be wearing this with casual attire, the silicone bands are going to stay on it. So far this is my favorite Pagani to date.

Man this is definetly jodys week, two would premiers, one out of studio family special and a quicky on the Alaska, damn us JOMW aficionados are spoiled 😂😂😂

Hello Jody. I beg your pardon. I actually mean hello Dr Jody - fantastic achievement by the way - sincere congratulations. This is from an English chap living on the edge of the beautiful Scottish highlands. I have a couple of points to raise. I am a retired North Sea oilman who bought a genuine no date Submariner in Hong Kong back in 1985 for approx £1200 tax free, wore it and enjoyed it every day for 36 years, and then sold it for £6100 (not a bad deal) when we needed work on the house more than I needed an old flash watch.The deciding factor was a service would now cost £3000 as the watch was over 35 years old - holy cow! People buying vintage luxury watches may not realise the service costs they may face. Secondly, your blasted videos have infected me with the cheap/cheapish watch buying disease. Besides other watches, I now own four different Rolex model homages because of your blasted videos, and I just ordered a red and white Mission to Alaska watch because of your latest video. What can I do? However, I guess trying on my latest purchase whilst sipping a wee dram is safer than sex, drugs and rock and roll at my age. Keep up the good work. Geoff W.

Jody I bought this version & the black & white dial model. Unbelievable value! I swapped out the bracelet on this red dial for a red/white rubber strap which looks sensational too! Lume doesn’t bother me although yeah it would be better. But it’s not a 24 hour wear watch for mine.👍🏼😎

I put a red tropic strap on mine and it looks and feels great! Very fun piece for summer!

Currently waiting on mine. I have been looking into Pagani since last year but with this I finally took the plunge and ordered one. Thanks for the review.

Mine just arrived today. First Pagani and I'm quite happy with it. I also thought the dial would be whiter based off images but the silver grew on me immediately. I'm not really bothered by the diver's extension. If they want to give me extra bits for my 90ish dollar watch, have a ball as long as it isn't messy. I do wish the clasp had a more positive lock up, I keep questioning if I clicked it in good and having to double check.

I'm probably not alone....but I now have 3 or 4 chronograph watches, and tend to drool over new ones weekly. They just look good! Problem is....I rarely if ever try to "time" things with them. My life has few occasions where a normal second hand isn't more than enough granularity for time. 🤣 Oh, well....I've never dived to 200 meter either.

A super fun watch with a colour scheme unique to this brand. Fits great and wears well. And no need to worry about how you wear it. It’s joining my Seamaster 300m and Casio Oak on a 2 month filming gig in Spain. Thanks Jodie for the original tipoff. 👌

I bought a pagani chrono meca quartz a few years ago after watching your review.Its still going very well.Never bought a pagani since.I was buying helm watches with my spare cash.This watch is now on my want list.Looks great with the red.

Jodie, you point out the Rocket on the back but not the PD-1701? No Trekkie could miss this😂

Have it. Love it! And that red saphire bezela and project Alaaka type hands really stand out. Bracelet is great. And will take over a moonswatch ANY day!

I've got the version three in standard black, and a gold (colour) green dialled V3. They are both fantastic for the money, gonna buy one of these as well cos, as you rightly say, they're FUN and for that price you can't go far wrong !!!

Bought one in the recent sale after seeing the previous sale video. Really fun for the money and overall very happy. Having had the 3rd gen. PD moon watch the clasp actually has better micro adjust which makes it much more usable although I wouldn’t disagree with Jodi’s criticism. If I had one ask for a 6th gen. it would be longer lasting lume.

Thanks for the review. I have the PD Speedy homage in black and in light blue as well as the Daytona homage. The red is definitely bold - not sure I could pull it off.

Jody, I got one! I've put it on a Barton red silicone band I also had lying around - super color, look and super comfortable. I am amazed at the accuracy too. 😎

I hope they do a few more colourways in the future. This looks quite promising

I bought the V2 and the V3. Much better than the price point would suggest. So cheap that if anyone compliments it, you can clip it off, hand it over as a gift with no great cost to yourself. Therefore I don’t have any left.

Recently bought the exact same watch and I absolutely agree with your conclusion. I quite like the silverish white though. This would feel so much better with a more substantial clasp without the diver's extension. Shipment to Germany by the way only took six days this time around.

I picked up the 50th anniversary version a while ago. Very good for the money. Warning for small wrists, i removed all of the links and adjusted the micro right in and it just about works on my 6.5" wrist. So if your wrist is smaller then the bracelet won't work for you.

That watch shames the moon swatch mission to Mars 😂 for less than half the price 😂

Fab stuff, thanks Jody 👍

I purchased one of these right after your Ali top 10 review. I really thought it was going to be more white but it definitely looks silver most of the time to me. It's a decent watch for the money but I don't think I would purchase it again had I known it was silver. Thanks for the review on this one.

I just got my red Speedy homage in the mail today, I love it! I paired it with a red silicon band, it's just the sporty look I was after. And at under $100 with the band, it's tough to beat! Thanks for the tip on this watch, Jody!

Nice one, Jody. It’s good to see more reviews of sub-$100 watches.

You are crazy about the case back. It’s great. The art is fun.

I bought this version in a sale and it’s an amazing watch at an amazing price! I have it on a leather strap now, I found the bracelet to have sharp edges and Pagani really should start using the on-the-fly adjustable clasps that Bliger uses.

I love this watch!!! I've had mine for a while and it's my favorite at the moment! I put it on a red and white NATO and oh my, what a beautiful thing it is!

Got both the black and red bezel versions. Reds the favourite. Both have AR, but with the white/silver dial its not essential. So I swapped the movement with the black dial out of my version 3, which did need AR, and now that's so much better. As I say you dont notice the lack of AR with the white/silver dial.

I have one of these. I dumped the bracelet as it is a bit crap, but the watch is class on a nice strap. I did find some edges a bit sharp, but a quick brush with some high grit sandpaper fixed that.

Picked up the same watch in the same sale. Love it! This is the watch the Moonswatch should have been.

I was going to buy a omegaXswatch speede, then I took my money and got 3 PD speed master homages, I give away ono of them to a good friend that appreciates it and still have the other ones. Thank god I did not spend my money in a bad watch just because it says OMEGA in the dial. This PD are incredible watches for the money

Have it and love it. Honestly don't think you can buy anything with as much style for the money.

Great review as always Jody

Looks great on that red strap, I almost bought this during the last sale...now I will for sure in the next one..

C'mon, Jody - in 20 years the 6 year old who did the caseback will be doing Pagani's first original design!

Bought this in the sale , brilliant work watch and the free bond nato was surprisingly decent quality which has replaced the scratched up bracelet on my seiko solar diver....win win

Picked one up in the sale too. with a Mission To Mars NASA strap. My Summer 23 watch.... So cool

The same watch with the black bezel is a fantastic Omega Alaska project homage

It's a fun one, especially that kindergarten case back! I still can't get past that disingenuous branding, but I would buy it before the MoonSwatch

The coolest thing about this one is that it is sold online. The Swatch one is only available at Swatch stores.

I liked the back case!. 👍🏻

another nice easter egg is the ref no. 1701 which is the model no. of the Star Trek USS Enterprise

The caseback is as subtle as "a house brick to the face!". LOL.😅

This is good, I mentioned before that I bought a watch for the red bezel, and the whole watch looks great anyway, I love the 70s style rocket shaped subdial hands as well. I wish it was 40mm though.

I bought this in the same sale. Looks great for the money. Definately putting it on a red silicone now. Neither this nor my pagani meteorite daytona clomage look out of place amongst my other brand name watches

Just ordered this and will be getting the red strap as well.

Surprised by 100m of water resistance on this one. Jody any chance of a video testing that out? I'd be very curious!

Just the place to come for my watch addiction. Great channel!

I should add at the top here. The bezel is indeed sapphire, I saw it testing positive, can't remember the channel. I have the Mission to Uranus PD (ceramic bezel) and it's great... I could even compare! I was one of the foolish people who got the Swatch Uranus watch suffering from a blue coloured wrist, a lost top pusher and a scratch that mysteriously appeared. I was lucky, got my money back and then bought the Pagani. It waams my first PD and I love it, great summer watch which is what attracted me to the original. I might actually buy this one too. Excellent review Jody

I love my Speedy Fauxmega and this colorway is modern and awesome.

Did you review the original q chronograph I haven't been able to find it.?

Bought one of these on the recent Ali express sale Binned the awful bracelet and put it on a nato that was a bonus Good value for money

I bought one, and I love it! Just enough bracelet to fit my 9" wrist. So much watch for the money!

I ordered this watch during the anniversary sale along with a black/red Velcro strap from WatchGecko. Nearly 1/3 the price of the MoonSwatch for a much better quality product.

Great video as usual Jody

Bought version 3 black one..and put it on a Uncle bracelet. It feels fantastic..though the bracelet was 150 odd quid. Glad they started putting anti reflective coating on it.

My favorite part of the caseback is that isn't a US space shuttle but rather the Soviet Buran/Energia combo (which never even made it to space).

But how are you supposed to get it over your spacesuit without a spaceman extension?

Looks Great and the price is Magnificent ! Thanks Jody ! Now I don’t need a Moonswatch !

Great video and a great watch but I am still waiting for the anodised aluminium version is the right colours (RED) to come out

Looks like a quality watch. I have a Pagani Design Sub homage, and it's my favorite auto. The only thing I can fault it for is that the diver's extension doesn't work on it. Great review, Jody! :)

This watch is the mission to Tokyo its a cross between a Tokyo speed master and the mission to mars😉

Finally i can have the the 2 speedmaster i like the blue silver snoppy and the alaska project

I am tempted love it in red and white

just picked one up, thanks Jody :)

Fun watch with decent specs a price that won't break the bank or fret over about sums this up. It's inexpensive, it's fun and it's not crap for the price.

Hello Mate...another great video. Firstly, I really like watches. I do not own many "expensive" watches (I added the quotes since expense is more of a subjective concept). I own a few Seikos, a LOT of Casio's, 1 Bulova Precisionist, 1 Victorinox Maverick, and 2 Pagani's. I would love to own a Rolex or Omega but cannot justify paying that much for a watch. Truthfully, I care nothing about Lume (if I want to tell time in the dark I'll wear a Casio), casebacks (I never really look at that anyway), bracelets/bands (because I normally replace it...especially with Pagani), or screwdown crowns (I just made a lot of people mad..HA HA). I own this Pagani and ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT. I also bought the variant with the black bezel insert and red hands. In all (with discounts) I paid approx. $150 for both watches (or about $170 if you add the price of additional bands/straps)...which (in my opinion) is a great deal for 2 great watches!! Both look fantastic, keep great time, and have sapphire crystal for those watch aficionados/snobs (whichever you prefer) :-). With all that said, I appreciate these watches because of the price and features (particularly the sapphire crystal and sapphire bezel on the red AK ) and also appreciate Pagani offering such affordable watches.

I bought this one after seeing it on the march top 10. Fun watch, like the colors and as of now PD has not left me wishing I didn't buy the watch. Also, one that stands out a bit due to the color. My only moan and niggle for this one is that the are no screw links but push pins, I like the screw bracelets from PD better but for $85 plus tax and free shipping still a good deal.

Nice looking watch!

The mix match color looks good. I won't be surprised if Omega (or Swatch) homage it. 😅 It would be great! 😂😂😂

Looks really great with the red band on it

The extension is obviously for your spacesuit

I love the watch community, a place where a steel cased three hander is a "value" at $5K, but a plastic cased quartz watch is a rip-off at $250...

Morning jody, great fun!

Nice pick up, Jody! 🎉🎉🎉

Just need to have some luck to get a functional one. I bought one from this exact model and the chronograph come with various problems and the seller didn't help at all.

Agree on the lume and the clasp, utter rubbish but the case back I think is quite fun

I bought the is one when it came out, with the Velcro strap, that sadly came without branding. Still a nice piece, even though I’m wearing it on a leather strap, since the bracelet isn’t up to par compared to the head of the piece; uncomfortable really if you ask me. I personally like the silvery, white dial, was hoping it would be that way tbh. The black bezel, which is the newest one I believe, looks great aswell. So, here is to hope for a better bracelet!

Do you think the bracelet can adjust to fit a 15cm/5.9 inch wrist? Thanks

I rarely laugh out loud for watch reviews but that caseback was amazing!

Great looking watch & makes a mockery of the Swatch Moonswatch. Thanks again for a great review. One thing I seem to notice is that your intro’s seem a bit dark or dim to me, maybe it’s my IPad, maybe not or maybe artistic imagery on your part. All the best

I have the Pagani black Omega and white Daytona homages and I never noticed the ridiculous bracelet diver extensions....maybe I need to wear them more often!

Jody, just a quick note on the caseback's cartoon rocketship: it's a surprisingly faithful depiction of the Soviet version of the Space Dhuttle - Buran, with Energia boosters & tank. The rest is, as you say, a little patronising, but might have been a better design for their copy of a Rolex Cosmonaut...

I like the picture on the caseback 😂

Thank you! I want one!

It's not a diver's extension. It's an astronauts extension. That way you can put it in the outside of your space suit.

The red isn't the business but the price makes it absolutely gorgeous. 😊

Looking to get this watch in the next sale somehow. They should have replaced the divers extension with a more useful 5mm sweaty day extension...they do those on the 1644 daytona so I'm not sure why they couldn't do that here.

Does the hour indicator reset?

Has anyone mentioned that it hasn't got a date window and the "original copy" has?

I mean you could argue the divers extension is for getting it over your space suit? :D

Jody when you consider the caseback you cannot possibly say it lacks originality!

I have noticed on my speedmaster that the minute hand jump when the Chrono resets. Thought it was a quality control thing, checked my other vk 64 watch same thing. I noticed it also on other RU-vid reviewers watches and now even on your video at the 4:20 mark. I am starting to think this is a wide vk63/64 movement problem? I have read on the forum that other people have it but don't find it mentioned in problems the movement has. The solution is to not use the chrono as no one needs this function but quite annoying considering it's a seiko movement
