Watch Reviews 4U presents a review of a
Pagani PD2770 Blue Dial Automatic Watch 43mm
A very nicely made and finished watch that looks good on the wrist
The Pagani PD2770 is a Chinese made automatic watch with a 43mm width stainless steel case. Owing a few visual influences to the Seiko Presage, this watch in its own right is a nice piece of design. Some might call it a homage to the Seiko, others a good piece of individual modern watch design .
A Seiko Presage - at about ten times the price of a Pagani, new
Unboxing the Pagani, you are hit by a very nice looking sun-ray blue dial, which has a textured finish. The dial has applied hour markers and is nicely finished.
A black dial version is also available
First impressions out of the box are the watch is a very nicely finished piece of work, bearing in mind that it cost around £70.00 new, it is in a good place for value for money, finish, style and design. At 43mm it is a nice size and is not heavy in weight to wear.
The Seagull 2813 movement has a very nicely finished rotor
The PD2770 movement is a Seagull 2813 and is visible through the glass exhibition back. The rotor is very nicely engraved for this price level watch, I have seen Miyota movements with quite basic skeleton rotors in comparison that look frankly a bit cheap.

Out of the box, the watch kept good time, you will notice that the sweep seconds hand does not fully reach the end of the index markers. The movement has a slightly noticeable staccato motion in use however, this does not affect the timekeeping. The motion is only really noticeable if you look hard at it.
The watch looks better in real life to the eye than in the photographs
The watch has a synthetic crystal with a bevel edge, it is nicely finished but not anti-reflective. The case is Stainless Steel which is faultless and the winding Crown has the Pagani logo on it.
Overall this watch is great value for money, it is a cheap watch to buy but with a quality about it that is far in excess of the ticket price.
It is a smart watch that you can afford to wear and not worry about, Seagull movements are known for their reliability and as such, parts should be available, new movements are a few pounds which is good news if required.
Alternatively you might want to spend a bit more and go for a PD 1722 at 41mm which is more in the style of an IWC watch.

Impressive for £89.00 - with a style nod to the IWC Portuguese style watch
Great styling and looks more expensive than it really is!
Verdict: These Pagani watches are good value for money, they are inexpensive, but look good and have great finish.
There is no shortage of Chinese made watches in the homage or unique design market - you basically get what you pay for and in some cases the movements are not sold outside of China but are available. Some are nicely made and finished watches, some less so.
If you are looking for an inexpensive but stylish and well finished watch, this could be the answer.
