The Pagani Design PD-1796 (ref. pd-1796) is an automatic diver watch, with a 42mm stainless steel case, 14mm thick, with a 48-hour power reserve. Water resistance is rated to 100m, under a hardlex crystal. Manufacturer MSRP is $149.
The Pagani Design PD-1796 features an open-heart design, not a tourbillon as initially marketed, and includes a noticeable blue anti-reflective coating. Owners are divided on its aesthetic, with some appreciating its unique dial layout and manual/automatic movement, while others find the design unappealing and criticize the lack of AR coating for legibility issues. On balance, the consensus is that owners find the Pagani Design PD-1796 polarizing due to its misrepresented complication and mixed reception on its dial design and AR coating.
