Nice review! I have the actual watch this one is paying homage to - the Longines Spirit Zulu Time, and I do absolutely love it. That said, Pagani Design has done a fantastic job putting out this GMT for about 1/16th the price! I have no problem with PD or homage watches in general- heck, I'm wearing my PD moonwatch as I type this😂.

Great to hear! SO many people have commented over on my PD-1701 v3 review that they own the Omega, but wear a PD as a sort of "beater." I wonder if you'll pickup this one under the same circumstances?!

I give all the credit for this design to Longines. They did a wonderful job with it. PD did a great job making it a quality affordable and I think there will always be a place for watches like this. Those end links however are horrendous.

Absolutely. I missed the PD1717 too...non GMT version. Homage watches are great for those that want the look, but can't afford the high end piece. Or to have that look as a beater watch. Sometimes it's an introduction to the original, too. I never really had a desire for a Speedy, but after enjoying the PD-1701, the original is definitely on my wish list. Maybe I'll get one someday...???

Absolutely. This bracelet is nice, the bezel grip is one of the best I've encountered in a while (even if it isn't bi-directional), and the dial is flawless for a budget watch. They need to start by paying attention to the luminescence. If Steeldive can come in cheap with killer lume, Pagani should be able to as well!

This appears to be a quality piece but GMT watches have bi-directional bezels with a maximum 60 clicks. And GMT watches should have at least a date window but preferably both a day and date window. San Martin and Zellos have a combination of these options in their offerings. I just wish that Seiko would do a travellers GMT movement the same as Miyota does.
@WatchWitt

The VanBanner GMT I show in the video has a 48 click bi-directional bezel. That's perfect...you can easily click twice for an hour, and once for a half hour.....for some of those funky countries with the half hour offset! I wonder if Seiko will do as you say? Not sure why Pagani omitted the date here...movement has it, so it must have been a choice.

@@WatchWitt two questions. Can the bezel be hacked to be bi-directional? I seem to recall doing that to a bezel many years ago. The date is my be do to the movement they used having the date on the side they have to put a new dial for the date to be on the 6 position. Extra cost. Just my thought. Not sure if thats it or not.
@WatchWitt
5 күн бұрын
Not that I know of. I haven't taken this bezel off, but I imagine the teeth make it uni-directional. Regarding the date, they probably did cut costs on the dial, and/or they were listening to many who request a no date version. But date versions out sell no date. And date version just makes more sense on a GMT, obviously.

Great review for a very nice watch! The colour combination and the classic numerals look stunning. Not that fussed about a bi-directional bezel as it's no great hardship, but no date on a GMT is a slight miss if you're crossing the date line. Again, no big deal because that doesn't happen very often! The Pagani logo only... great, less clutter on the dial. The double engraved end links don't look bad to me, I'll think of them as a bit of a feature. And the lume, well... typical Pagani, same same dimness and fadeiness! I've popped one in my Alibasket as I like the look of the watch and I'm sure I'll love it close up. Again, thanks for another great review! And all the very best for 2004 🎉 🕑 🎉
@WatchWitt
8 ай бұрын
The numerals added with the gold colored surround really does look great. Then the logo is the same color. Nice. Well, if this is traditionally used as an office GMT, you're staying in the same locale, so the date window just becomes a preference of whether you like one or not. I feel that's not a GMT rule break in the case of a NON traveler's GMT. While I was bummed that the bezel isn't "correct," I don't usually use it to track a 3rd time zone....so not a big issue for ME either. It will stay put. But great grip on this bezel knurling! I'd love to see them join the lume party....!

Overpriced compared to their other watches and competitors. Their aversion to Lume is incomprehensible. Build quality is equal or lesser than their older watches that are half the price. I would prefer 42 or 41mm but just my preference. I have the real 42 spirit Chrono automatic, arguably the bracelet is shit and lug to lug problematic but it's super clean design... Pagani refuses to do Lume that 40$ watches do well. It's just stupid, there must be a reason, because their volume is higher and build quality no better
