Pagani Design PD-1821

About this entry

47% of key specs known. Missing: movement, lug-to-lug, thickness, weight, hardening, AR coating, crown, end links, link attachment, clasp micro-adjust.

Three-hand automatic with a date at 3, a black 60-minute bezel and a jubilee-style bracelet. Movement: the official spec list says "Japan Automatic Miyota 8215", but the whole list (110.5g, 41mm, 11mm thick, 316L, screw-down crown, sapphire with AR coating, date, 10 bar, Miyota 8215, 21mm strap width, 16–21cm strap length) is word for word the one on the store's PD-YS031 listing, a different watch. The page's own title and meta description say only "Automatic Mechanical". The brand's caseback photo (display back engraved "...1821" and "Water resistant 100M") shows a movement under a Pagani-signed rotor with raised, chamfered jewel settings along a stepped bridge and an exposed ratchet wheel. That is the same movement as in the PD-1832's caseback photo, which the brand calls "BY-9018". It doesn't look like the genuine Miyota 8215 in the PD-1839's caseback photo (flat plate, flush jewels, rotor marked "Miyota ... CWMJ Japan"). The Chinese Watch Wiki gives a stepped top plate with chamfered jewel holes as the mark of Chinese DG/NN copies of the Miyota 82xx. So no caliber is recorded, only the movement type; check the caseback when buying. Size: the page's size badge (40mm), its strap-compatibility line ("accepts all standard 20mm straps") and its store tags (40mm, 20mm) disagree with the copied spec list (41mm, 21mm); the page's own figures are recorded. Thickness, weight, steel grade, crown type and AR coating are stated only in the copied list, so they are not recorded. Sapphire is from the page's own badge, and 100m from its badge, store tag and the caseback. From the brand's photos: display caseback with wrench notches, no crown guards, date at 3 without magnifier, black 60-minute bezel with a lumed pip (action and insert material not stated), lume on hands and indices, five-link jubilee-style bracelet (links counted from the photos) with a fold-over clasp signed "Pagani Design". Lug-to-lug, bracelet construction and lume type are not stated, and no independent review was found. Both colours $151.99 (crossed-out $166.24) and in stock on 2026-10-21; the listing was created in January 2026. The store's gallery file names say "blue" for photos of both colours; the images here are matched to what they show.
