In recent weeks, I have introduced a lot of Chinese homage watches on my blog, most of them have one common feature, which is cheap price. If you check my previous posts, there are some watches that are also sold at high prices, the most typical one is San Martin. I liked this brand very much before, especially when I received the San Martin SN004, which is a great Tudor Black Bay homage watch, I really liked it at that time and it has an amazing finish on the case and bracelet, which can even be compared with some Swiss watches. However, the prices of San Martin are usually higher than most other homage watches I bought from China. Sometimes I think, is it really necessary to spend a lot on a high quality homage watch? The answer is yes, but after I met Pagani Design, Benyar and Mysterious Code, I changed my mind, I found you can even get a very good quality homag watch even do not need to pay a lot money, that’s the reason I love Pagani Design and Benyar very much in recent days. Sometimes I think the styles of San Martin watches are almost fixed, most are diver’s watches, while the types of watches from Pagani Design are diverse, people have more choices. Today, I will introduce another good watch from Chinese Mysterious Code, it is a homage watch of IWC Pilot.

This is not Big Pilot, it is a Mark series watch from IWC Pilot’s, Mysterious Code makes this watch exactly according to the outlook of IWC Mark, the case shape, dial detail and blue hands, these immediately remind me of IWC Pilot Mark when I saw this watch. It is made with Titanium, however, I do not know if it is made with solid Titanium or there is only a layer of Titanium coating on the case , why I doubt this? Because its price is lower than $70. I like IWC and its Pilot Mark is one of my most wanted watches in the past, but now, I won’t consider it as my first choice even this Mysterious Code Pilot Mark homage watch has a good case shape and good finish.

Not only the Titanium case and its finish make me happy, but the movement it uses is also a big selling point. The watch is equipped with a Miyota 8215 automatic movement that is imported from Japan, this movement is very stable and is also widely used in replica watches, Miyota 8215 has a beat frequency of 21600 and power reserve of 38 hours, it has few and even no issues when working. The watch is sold at a much cheaper price in Chinese market such as Taobao than it being sold abroad like Amazon and Aliexpress, so if you have a friend in China, ask him to buy for you, then it will save you some money. On the dial, the brand learns from IWC Pilot Mark, and uses blue frame on hour hand and minute hand, the pin buckle is also titanium in brushing, many other homage watches in China can not keep a consistent material in case and buckle. By the way, the brown leather band is made with calfskin leather and feels very soft, it features white stitching, well, I think the brand can help you to change it to brown if you like. Have you ever bought a Chinese homage watch? If so, which homage brand do you like most?
