Pagani Design PD-1662 GMT NH34vsFormex Stratos UTC

Owners widely report solid build quality for the price, with finishing that does not appear cheap and appreciated solid links and clasp. However, one owner describes the Pagani Design PD-1662 GMT NH34 as junk, citing a terrible bezel, lume, bracelet, and deep rehaut, advising avoidance unless on a tight budget. On balance, owners rate the Pagani Design PD-1662 GMT NH34 well for its build quality and finishing at the price, despite one dissenting opinion on its components.

Owners and reviewers widely praise the Formex Stratos UTC for its user-friendly flyer GMT complication, which utilizes pushers for time-zone adjustments, and its slim 11.8mm case. The watch is noted for its intricate, hand-finished case with a multi-layer construction and excellent finishing, along with a unique two-level case design. The Dubois-Depraz module on an ETA 2892 movement is a highlight, with accuracy figures ranging from +/- 5 to +/- 7 seconds per day. However, some find the dial busy with multiple typefaces and the overall design too complex or "plug ugly," with the price near €4000 considered high by some for a newer brand. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Formex Stratos UTC highly for its innovative GMT functionality and excellent case finishing at its price point.
