HaiQinPagani Design 1701 V6 Moon Wristwatch Homage Men's Quartz Chronograph Watches VK63 Movement Stianless Steel Construction 100M Waterproof Fashion Sport Watch

I was on the fence about buying a watch. No because it's a homage or copy of the Omega Speedmaster but because of it's bracelet, which according to other reviews, it's quite big and has rough edges. I was on the fence because I wanted this homage with a bracelet, and not with a nato or anything else, but I decided to do it for just $90 at the time of purchase. So this is my input on this watch and I hope I can help people decide whether it's worth it or not.Case and design: The case is astonishingly beautiful, it does get pretty close to the real thing, even though I've only seen it in photos. The hands, the alignment of the seconds hand, the color, the date (I dig it even though it ain't like that on the Speedmaster). Everything is top notch. Good job on that Pagani. If you're looking for a homage or copy and not the real thing, this one knocks it out of the park.Movement: It's a Seiko VK63 movement, you can't go wrong with this one and I think they made the right choice by going mecaquartz. Robust, accurate and overall really good at this price point.Lume: Not the greatest, Pagani has to work on this one but it doesn't really bother me, though it might bother you. So if you are a lume guy, go with something else, but don't expect it at this price point.Crystal: I mean, it's sapphire with no AR coating, so it does reflect a lot. I mean, I'm not bothered by that at this price, but I'm just glad that this piece has sapphire. My other Seikos and Citizens don't even have that so it's a home run for me, but it might not be for you.Bracelet: Ok, so this is the most important part of the review according to the title. I have skinny wrists at 6.5 inches. I was worried that it would not fit and it almost didn't. I had to remove all available links and use the tightest micro adjustment in order to fit as you can see in the third photo. I love tapered bracelets so I'm glad it fit (just right) otherwise I would've sold the watch. If you have less than a 6,5 inches wrist and you plan on using the bracelet, buy an OEM or look somewhere else. On the other hand, the edges are really sharp. I mean, it's not like you are gonna cut yourself or anything, but it can become uncomfortable. I plan on fixing this by watching YouTube, although it would not be a deal breaker for me if I can't do it.Packaging: It's ok, nothing fancy but just like the boxes from the more affordable ones from seiko. It came with the guarantee, instruction manual, and a cheap link pin remover. Nothing to complain, nothing that stands out. Everything comes wrapped in adhesive plastic, which is a pain to remove. I wish Pagani would stop doing that, and just take that wrapping time to smooth the edges of the bracelet.Conclusion: For this price, you won't get anything better in the homage spectrum. I'm a space fanatic so I love it. I was planing on getting a Bulova Moonwath which I also love, but that one is just too big, and I didn't want the Moonswatch cause let's face it, that is an expensive toy. I also can't afford the real thing. I'm truly happy with this homage/copy and I'm planing on using it as a daily beater. Hope this one helps other that are on the fence right now.Incredible value for money. Good job Pagani and keep on improving and listening to what people have to say.

The watch can compete with some other more expensive Swiss and Japanese watches in my collection. Pagani Design has been really working hard at making something that has good quality and ascetics. I was blown away at how well the face looked and the cleanness of the sapphire and dial layout. The look is spot on without looking like a cheap copy/clone, but a good homage watch with its own characteristics. I really hate that word 'homage' and how it sounds for some reason. I can't be the only one?! Under the hood I expect the Japanese VK63 Movement to provide good and reliable timekeeping for a long time. My only letdown sort of is the bracelet. Yes it looks good and it even fits my 8"+ wrist not to mention everything is in 316L steel. Solid end links and a nice clasp, but it has loose tolerances and makes that cheap sounding rattle at times, and pinned not screw links. Since it came with a NATO band I may swap it out from time to time but overall, damn this is a nice nice version of the Speedmaster Moonwatch! Nicely engraved screw down case back to boot.The watch has 4 benefits over the Speedmaster.1) The use of a Sapphire crystal, while Omega offers that option now the base watch comes with their HESALITE GLASS and sapphire as an option.2) The other step up IMO is the ceramic bezel insert used on the Pagani. Man this thing catches the light and shines! The Speedmaster dropped the ball here as well I believe. The bezel increments and indicators are different on mine as it starts after Tachymeter with 400 and lines vs 500 and dots like pictured currently on this site. I've seen both pictured on this V3 version so yours may differ.3) The Pagani can go twice as deep as the Speedmaster 'maybe'. This Pagani can go down to 10 bar 100M /330Ft and the Speedmaster has a water resistance: 5 bar (50 meters / 167 feet). Screw down crown but not pushers so hmmm?4) The Pagani Design V3 includes a date window which the Omega does not.If Pagani ever makes this one in a V4+ with an automatic movement inside I'm jumping on that one too. As of this writing there is a V4 but it looses the date window, has applied indices and logo, and also a meteorite textured face as well as some new colors. I use to disregard this brand and have one other Pagani but this one watch has made me reconsider the market they hold especially at the prices they offer and the materials and features you get for your $$$. One of my new favorite weekenders, my automatic swiss cheeses still run the weekdays though :)*4/29/24 Adding that the synthetic sapphire has some magical properties. NONE of my other watches from across the globe with a sapphire dome resists smudges and fingerprints like this thing does! I never see a print on it! Amazing to me at least.

The media could not be loaded. If you're like me you ordered it because it looks similar to other watches that are much more expensive but at a reasonable price. If you look at the product descriptions and the "Top Reviews" for the "1701 Black V3 (White Hand) you'll see that they have the dots near the 12 o'clock indicator and the the Tach on dial starts at 500. Scrolling through the most recent reviews it seems something has changed in the last month or so and the dial and face has design has been changed while still being labeled as the 1701 V3. It seems that they have updated some of the product images on the version selector but not all. For anyone ordering this highly rated watch - be forewarned that the black design has changed - whether that's an issue or not is subjective.Outside of the design change, the watch is very nice - the white hands on the black dial are nice and readable although overhead LED lights do make it hard to read with the reflections. Timing is accurate over the few days I've had it. The chrono start/stop button requires a bit of force to use but it's not terrible - it may make you miss a start every now and then. I don't know if it was because of the heavy press or not but mine failed to work a handful of times but it worked the next time i pressed it. The bracelet is nice and comfortable although i think if you have small wrist you may struggle with the amount of links given the number of links you have to remove.Overall it's a very nice watch - I just wish they would label it as something else because if you're comparing "1701 V3" prices across different sellers and other locations it may be a misleading that this has a different design.
