Part of our Tribute Collection — a range chosen for genuinely capturing the look and character of iconic, timeless watch designs, without the price tag that usually comes with them.
The Pagani Design PD-1701 is a long-standing favourite in the affordable chronograph space, now in its fifth iteration — a sign of genuine sustained demand rather than a fleeting trend piece. Its tachymeter bezel and three-subdial layout (24-hour, 60-second, and 60-minute counters) give it real motorsport and exploration character, with a distinctive split-colour bezel design that adds visual energy without overwhelming the watch.
Built on a substantial 41.5mm case (13.8mm thick), it houses the Japanese VK63 mecha-quartz movement — combining quartz accuracy with a genuinely mechanical-feeling chronograph pusher action. The domed sapphire crystal sits notably tall above the case, contributing to a layered, three-dimensional look, and the three-link stainless steel bracelet uses a mix of brushed and polished surfaces for a refined finish. Rated to 100m water resistance, it's finished with a screw-down case back.
A watch with real staying power in this category — bold, distinctive, and proven across multiple generations rather than a one-off design.
