Oris Year of the Horse Limited EditionvsPagani Design PD-1752

The Oris Year of the Horse Limited Edition is a 43mm dress watch powered by the in-house Calibre 113, offering a 10-day power reserve and an unconventional business calendar layout topped by a power reserve indicator marked with small horses. Reviewers praise the daring design and clever movement display, though the bold aesthetic and 43mm size make it a divisive piece — one reviewer found the overall look not to their personal taste. The watch retailed for $8,000. On balance, the Year of the Horse Limited Edition appeals to collectors who value distinctive design and horological innovation, but its commanding size and vibrant red dial limit its versatility.

Owners praise the Pagani Design PD-1752's beautiful dial and smooth, buttery bracelet, noting its incredible quality for a sub-$130 price, with one owner finding the 36mm size beautiful. However, some find the 14mm thickness and 47mm lug-to-lug too large, and others wish for better lume and a smaller clasp. There is division on the dial's branding, with some preferring it without the "Pagani Design" text or suggesting a logo instead, and some find the fluted bezel looks cheap. One owner experienced the movement stopping frequently and noted sharp edges on the bracelet and end links. On balance, owners rate the Pagani Design PD-1752 highly for its bracelet quality and aesthetic appeal at its price point, despite some reservations about its branding and lume.
