Pagani Design PD-1796vsOblvlo XM Dragon

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.

Owners widely praise Oblvlo for its excellent fit and finish and unique designs at its price point, with specific commendations for the stunning aventurine dial and smooth winding action. The domed sapphire crystal features a decent anti-reflective coating, an improvement over past models. Some owners find the designs unconventional but excellent value, especially when found on sale. The automatic movement hacks and hand winds. However, reviewers consistently flag the lume as weak and short-lived. One owner reported an hour ring becoming loose after shaking. The case size is cited as 43mm, though some sources mention 41mm or 45mm including the stem. On balance, owners rate Oblvlo highly for its distinctive aesthetic and robust build quality relative to its price.
