Pagani Design Daytona Paul Newman Quartz Homage Review

I like vintage Rolex, it is one of my favorite watches, Daytona Paul Newman is a very famous vintage Rolex model, I have one, absolutely it is not a genuine, I bought it in the watch market of Guangzhou, most of you guys know this place, yes, there are many fake watches, from low to high quality. Pagani Design has made a lot of homages, most of them are from Rolex and with quartz movement, from the sales record, we can see they are very popular on the webiste of Pagani Design, many people like such homages with a higly similar outlook and cheap price.

This Pagani Design is a beautiful homage of Daytona Paul Newman, it is exactly the quartz movement that has reduced the cost of the watch, every function of the watch is real, that’s the reason why I choose it. The watch has a case diameter of 40mm and is 13mm thick, a very suitable size for all men’s wrist, the chronograph function works very well.

The case is made with solid 316L stainless steel, some people doubt about this, but I tell you, now few watches use hollow stainless steel, except those very cheap ones under 20 or 30 US Dollars. The case is brushed, it is a little bigger than the original Daytona Paul Newman model, there are two pushers with locking screws to operate the chronograph function. Pagani Design claims the black bezel uses ceramic material, but I do not think it is like real ceramic.

The dial is a classic Paul Newman’s style, it is in off-white color, three small dials feature match-head markers, there are red minute scales on the edge of the dial. The small-second subdial is at 6 o’clock, the small hand works a ticking way because of the quartz battery inside, the 60-minute chronograph is diaplayed on the subdial at 9 o’clock, there is a 24-hour display on the small dial at 3 o’clock. All small dials have real function, when you press the button at 2 o’clock, the central second-chronograph hand will start to work, all functions on the dial are real, that’s the reason I choose this homage watch.

The watch arrived to me in a Pagani Design box, inside the package, there is also one nylon band, a cloth and a screw driver. By the way, the quartz movement inside the watch is coming from Japan, it is a Seiko VK63, which is very reliable and can last for years.
