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 diameter8 / 121 mm apart
- Lug-to-lug0 / 8Not published, left out
- Thickness2.2 / 61.9 mm apart
- Lug width0 / 4Not published, left out
Design signatures— / 40
- Octagonal bezel with eight screws6 / 12Polished polygonal bezel with an octagon-like outline, but no screws on the bezel in any official image.
- Grid-patterned (Tapisserie) dial9 / 9Grid of small square-based pyramids on every colourway in the official images, the same kind of texture as the original's tapisserie, though the pyramids are larger and more pointed.
- Bracelet integrated into the case9 / 9Steel bracelet running straight out of the case on every colourway.
- Tonneau-shaped case3 / 6Polygonal case with the bracelet flowing out of it; the outline is more angular than a tonneau.
- Screw-locked crown0 / 4The brand lists a push-pull crown, and the images show a plain crown.
Functions and materials— / 20
- Complications4 / 8The original shows the date in a window. The Pagani has no date window; it shows a moon phase, an open-heart window and a 1-to-31 sub-dial that looks like a date indicator in the images (the brand names only the moon phase and open heart).
- Bezel action4 / 4Fixed bezel with no timing action, the same as the original.
- Case and bezel materials4 / 4Stainless steel case, the same material as the original's steel; one colourway has a gold-toned finish.
- Crystal shape and date window2 / 4Synthetic sapphire, like the original, but the brand does not state a coating. The brand's images show no date window or cyclops.
Movement type— / 10

Good
- Moon phase and open-heart window on the same dial
- Integrated steel bracelet

- Six colourways, including a gold-toned case
Less good
- No bezel screws and a stud texture instead of a grid, so the likeness to the original is loose
