The PD-1693 is listed as “Yellow” in the colour selector — this refers to the warm cream/yellow tone of the luminous hour markers and hands rather than the dial colour. The dial itself is black.
The accurate description: black dial, cream-tone luminous markers and hands, orange GMT hand, silver-tone stainless steel case and bracelet.
The large triangle marker at 12 o’clock, uniform rectangular hour markers and bold numerals at 12, 3, 6 and 9 give the dial a vintage tool-watch character. The orange GMT hand creates a single distinct accent against the black and cream layout.
The orange GMT hand completes one full rotation every 24 hours, working in conjunction with the fixed 24-hour bezel engraved around the case. To read a second time zone:
The fixed bezel cannot be rotated — the PD-1693 uses a hack GMT system where the main time is set independently. For a true independently-adjustable GMT hand, the Cronos L6029 NH34 uses the Seiko NH34 dedicated GMT caliber.
The Pearl DG5833A is a Chinese automatic GMT movement — automatic winding via the rotor, no battery required. For first use or after the watch has stopped, wind manually by rotating the crown clockwise 20–30 turns until resistance is felt. The watch then maintains power through normal wrist movement.
The DG5833A is the movement specified in the product images — the listing’s references to “Japanese NH35/NH36” are inaccurate for this model.
200m (20ATM) with screw-down crown — appropriate for swimming, snorkelling and recreational diving. Avoid hot water, steam and hot tubs, which can degrade gasket seals regardless of depth rating. Rinse with fresh water after salt water exposure.
At 180g the PD-1693 is a substantial watch on the wrist — significantly heavier than lightweight field watches (40–80g) and comparable to other full stainless steel sport watches at 42mm. The weight comes from the 316L case, solid caseback and stainless steel bracelet. For buyers who prefer the presence of a heavier metal watch, 180g delivers that character.

You can’t beat this watch for the price. I mainly own Seikos and a Tudor but this watch surprised me. The fit and finish is pretty good (some sharp edges) but I took care of that with some 800 grit sandpaper. I don’t have any experience with the stainless steel strap as I had a silicon strap for it ready to go. I have a 6 1/2” (165mm) wrist and find it fits well but rather flat. As for the lume, this is where I find it lacks and fades rather quickly.
Wonderful watch. Robust construction, heavy!!! Automatic movement clock... I took it out of the box already started working. .. Extremely well packed!!! I recommend
as described.
Excellent watch, sapphire glass, automatic, heavy box. Arrived in Anapolis-go in 10 calendar days after the purchase.
Solidly made It presents itself nicely. Easy to match the bracelet. The Pagani Design brand wins at this price!

Beautiful watch as described.
A very good mechanical watch.
Beautiful homage watch!
amazing watch, looks far better in person. great finishing and colours are spot on for the original..very happy
Wow! this is a beautiful watch, I was a little apprehensive about the whole Pagani Design GMT, but I'm glad I took a chance, and you will too!
Solid and aesthetically valuable watch. I will have to learn how to use the GMT function and test it to assess its accuracy. The 316L steel bracelet has a good thickness and is extra adjustment gold for the diving suit. At the moment I am very satisfied. Sapphire glass. Date magnification, Crown and screw case. Excellent claps.
Very good and beautiful watch
Great, perfection in its manufacture and perfect finish, wonderful jewel, I recommend it for purchase.
great Pagani Design watch.
Love this great watch!!!
