Pagani Design Seamaster 007 Spectre Homage Watch Review

Pagani Design Specture 007 with Box

You can not imagine how popular the Seanaster 007 Spectre was when this movie launched in that year, Omega Seamaster is one of the best-selling diver’s watches, plus the charm of Daniel Craig wearing in the movie, a lot of watch fans and 007 movie fans were after this watch, and the replica of this Seamaster 007 made by VSF was also highly welcomed at that time. Pagani Design makes this homage, it looks good and it is a very good-looking diver’s watch, but I do not think it is an exact clone, it is not a successful homage of the Seamaster 007 Spectre. I am not mean the quality of the watch is not good, actually it has a very good quality at this price point, you know, the quality of watches from Pagani Design always deserves their prices. I mean its appearance is similar to Spectre Seamaster 007, but there are color difference and design difference. I do not know if San Martin has this homage model, but if they do make, it will look very close to Seamaster Spectre in appearance.

The color difference, there are two places, first, the blue color of the watch, it is a bit too bluish, and second, the orange lume material applied on bezel markers, hour markers and hands are too bright, well, I still think this is a good quality Spectre homage watch, its case shape is very correct, very similar to the shape of Seamaster, look at the case, especially the lugs, the arched shape can fit your hand in a more comfortable way, the edge of the lug has a polished finish, which is in contrast with the the brushing of the case. Like the finish of the bracelet, the brushing one middle links and polishing on the links of two sides.

I like the blue dial, it features skeleton hour markers except the arrow-shaped markers at 3, 6, 9 and 12. The plate on the bottom is fully applied orange lume material, this sandwiched dial structure gives the wearer a better visual enjoyment, but also can be applied with more lume material to guarantee a durable lume light effect of the dial. The movement behind the solid back is a Miyota 8215, well, I will like it more if the watch has a transparent crystal back. The movement is ok, inaccuracy is about +-15 seconds each day, a very good movement chosen by a lot of low-end homage watch brands.

Octopus Omega Seamaster 007 Homage Watch Review

Octopus Watch Box

Omega has published several beautiful Seamaster watches for 007 James Bond, they are selling very well, especially their replicas, are very popular. It is my first time to buy a homage watch of Omega Seamaster 007, this Octopus looks like a homage watch of the Seamaster No Time to Die 007 watch, the watch has a stainless steel case not titanium made, also with a very nato band that is very similar to the one on Seamaster No Time to Die, I like this watch, its case shape, the color on the bezel and dial exactly matches that on the nato band. I received the watch in a small Octopus box, which is a cloth box with sponge inside protecting the watch, I think Octopus could design and make a more high-end wooden box. I see many homage watches coming from Octopus have high prices than the watches made by other homage brands, so a better brand wooden box will make your brand more popular.

The case of the watch is made with 316L stainless steel, it has a 42mm diameter and is measured to be 11mm in thickness, while 13.5mm if the crystal included. The case is a classic Seamaster shape of Omega, I can not say it is exactly the same, but you will immediately recognize when see it. I found the tortile lugs have been brushed on the face and polished on the other side, this detailed finish brings the wearer a high contrast visual effect. The bezel uses a black ceramic insert with engraved markers in the same depth, those markers are also applied with lume material like the hour markers and hands.

I love the dial, the lume material used on the hour markers and hands has the same color as the dial lettering “AUTOMATIC” and brand logo. The dial has a good readability under a clear sapphire crystal, each hour marker is big and the central sword-shaped hands are wide, so they can be applied with more lume to guarantee a strong and long-lasting lume light in the dark. The second hand has a red tip and a Octopus logo on the other end. This is a very classic diver’s watch dial, men love diving watches can not refuse its beauty.

Octopus Watch Nato Strap

The black/gray nylon band, I love this band, and this style of nato band is also used on another Omega 007 watch, that is Seamaster Spectre. Octopus also offers the stainless steel mesh bracelet for this watch, but the nato band looks better on the watch I think. At last, the watch is equipped with a PT5000 automatic movement, this movement has a good reputation in Chinese watch industry, its accuracy and stability are acceptable.
