Why it scores as it does
Proportions and movement are computed from specs. Design details and functions are judged from the brand's official images. How we score
Lug-to-lug is neither published nor measured for one of the two watches, so there is not enough data to score.
Proportions— / 30
- Case diameter12 / 12Same size

Design signatures— / 40
- Two-colour 24-hour bezel6 / 12The bezel carries city codes and a 24-hour scale, but in one colour (burgundy or blue-grey), not a two-colour split.
- Blue GMT hand on a black dial4 / 8A separate arrow-tipped GMT hand is present on every colourway: gold-toned on the black dial and dark brown with a white tip on the cream dial. It is not blue.
- Mercedes hour hand6 / 6The hour hand carries a circle with spokes at its tip, as seen in the official images of both colourways.
- Date window at 3 o'clock5 / 5Date window at 3 o'clock on every colourway. The official images show a plain window; reviewers report a magnifier over it.
- Oyster or Jubilee bracelet5 / 5Three-link and five-link steel bracelets are offered, in polished or black finish.

Functions and materials— / 20
- Complications4 / 8A GMT hand and a date window as on the original. The brand does not say whether it is a caller or a true GMT, so the type is not confirmed.
- Bezel action2 / 4One review describes a 120-click unidirectional bezel rather than a two-way GMT bezel. The brand does not state the action.
- Case and bezel materials2 / 4Steel case. Two reviews describe an aluminium-looking bezel insert (one is not sure); the original has a ceramic insert.
- Crystal shape and date window2 / 4Sapphire. Two reviewers report a date magnifier, but the official images show a plain date window, so the cyclops is not confirmed from the brand's images.

What reviewers and owners say
Reviewers
From 4 reviews we read or watched, 1 of them with a watch supplied by the brand.
Reviewers see the NH34 movement as a clear step up from the Chinese GMT movements Pagani used before, and they call the price fair to good for a sapphire, screw-down GMT with this movement. They report a date magnifier that sits centred over the date. The bezel has 120 clicks in the reviews that count them, with a small amount of back play, and one reviewer notes it is a unidirectional dive-style bezel rather than a two-way GMT bezel. Hand alignment varies from watch to watch: some samples are perfect and others are slightly off at 6 o'clock. Lume is described as weak on some colourways. The clasp is called basic, and one reviewer finds it hard to adjust. Another reviewer found the clasp has no micro-adjustment at all, while the bracelet's through-screw links are very easy to resize. He found the lume uneven between indices but still visible through the night.
