Recommended: Pagani Design PD-1644

A carbon copy of the Rolex Daytona (but for far less money of course), the Pagani Design PD-1644 is probably the least original watch on our recommendations list. Still, like the PD-2720K, it is objectively good value for money, based purely on specifications; especially in the chronograph genre, where budget options are rather limited. It’s got steel construction, a mecha-quartz movement and doesn’t look super-cheap (unlike many other Rolex clones).

If you simply want a wristwatch with the Daytona aesthetics but can’t afford the real thing; this is a great, highly affordable alternative that gives you that look for less. Keep your eyes out, as older versions of this model only have 30m of water resistance, whereas the updated model has 100m (10bar).

  • 40mm diameter
