The PAGANI DESIGN PD-1701 is a popular "Moonwatch" homage timepiece known for its high-specification materials and reliable Japanese meca-quartz movement at an accessible price point.

Version History & Variants
The PD-1701 has undergone several iterations to improve its faithfulness to the original design:
- V3 (Version 3): Features a white handset and a black date window, which reviewers on WatchCrunch note is more legible and faithful to the iconic "Speedmaster" look than previous silver-handed versions.
- V4/V5: Includes new dial options such as meteorite-style textures and a variety of colours including "Tiffany" blue, red, and gold/black.
- Clasp Improvements: Later versions feature a fully milled and signed clasp with micro-adjustments for better comfort and durability compared to older pressed clasps
