Have you ever heard of Benyar watch? Actually I just knew this watch, it is another great homage brand from China, I saw many positive reviews about Benya on the internet, some people said Benyar and Pagani Design are the same company, perhaps this is true, I found this watch when I browsing the website of Pagani Design, so there must be a connection between Pagani Design and Benyar. Some people also said Benyar is cheaper version of Pagani Design, I think this saying describes their relationship much better. I have introduced a lot of Chinese watches on my blog, including the big brands like Sea-gull and Beijing, but what I love most are these cheap homage watches, especially Parnis and Pagani Design, these two watches are my most favorite, one has a glorious past, ther other is currently the hottest homage brand. Today, I want to introduce a Benyar watch with turquoise dial, also named as Tiffany Blue dial, this dial color is very popular in watch industry, both Rolex and Patek Philippe have published watches with the tiffany blue dial, and the Oyster Perpetual watch with Tiffany Blue dial has become the object of many Chinese homage brands to copy.
Pagani Design also has this Tiffany Blue model, but the price of this Benyar is $38, only half of that Pagani Design, I am a little surprised that a good quality automatic watch is no less than $40, and with good case finish. I compared two of them, and found this Benyar uses a mineral crystal and a Chinese automatic movement, while the Pagani Design uses a sapphire crystal and a Japanese automatic movement, maybe this is the main reason why Pagani Design is expensive than the Benyar.
The case of the watch is 39mm in diameter, Rolex did not make 39mm Oyster Perpetual, well, I do not think this is a mistake on the watch, on the contrary, I like this 39mm size, a very good size for mens casual watch. The case is 11.7mm in thickness, a bit thick I think, but it can not be reduceded because of the Chinese movement inside. The watch features a see-through crystal back, and you can see engravings of brand name BENYAR and logo on the auto rotor, for such a price, I did not expect this.
The advantage of Pagani Design watch lies in its good case finish and good dial, while on this Benyar, the quality on the case and dial finish is not reduced even it has a much lower price. The candom bezel has a very smooth polishing, the turquoise dial has the most authentic blue color I have ever seen. There is a date window that features black font in white background, the date font is a little upper in the window, I do not care about this now, for such a price, with a good case finish and good dial details, as well as a more acceptable crystal back, I should not expect more.
