Mysterious Code Pilot Chronograph Watch Review - Great Value For Money!

Today I was looking at the Mysterious Code Pilots Chronograph watch. This little AliExpress watch offers so much value for money!
First of all, I was taken back by the packaging. It arrived in a nice white box and the watch was in a lovely brown leather case, which I totally wasn't expecting!
This particular model comes in at 37.5MM, which I know will be too small for some, but it also comes in 40MM! which should be fine for most people.
It features the Seiko VK64 Meca-quartz movement, hardlex crystal with AR coating and 50M of water resistance.
The strap is good quality but small, if your wrist is bigger than 7.5inch you might struggle. However with quick release spring bars and an 18MM lug width, you shouldn't have any problems switching this out.
I was blown away by this little watch and I have been wearing it a lot! It was just £50, which is insane value for money.

Looks like a blanc pain air command

I’d wear it with a padded black leather strap with white stitching.

I have the 40mm purple/blue dial version with the black bezel, and it's a great watch, especially for the price. I also have there iwc homage, and for $50, that watch might be the best value watch in my collection. i highly recommend you check it out.

Thank you, I will take a look! The chronograph is a great little watch.

Nice. Looks better than the Baltany homage to a Hanhart.

looks really good for the money! can you tell us what is lug to lug dimensions of this 37mm variant?

[@thomowatch6349]

Hi there, thank you for the comment. Lug to lug is 44mm

[@edwardbowen-humphreys9758]

Always love white hi Viz handsets that aren't undersized.

[@Kwr34538]

It's probably more 33mm if you subtract the bezel
Looks good ...and better lume than more expensive brands !

Love the brand name. It's that VK 64 again, but that's nothing out of the way for Mysterious Code: I have one of their watches with a 24 - hour sub dial but no date complication (Miyota 8217 movement), because a date window would interfere with the dial design. Still I love it. They also offer a one - handed model with an ETA 2824 for not much money.
You have one of their saner designs, and it looks great. Cheers 🍻!

@timeandnourishment1961 I have seen the one-handed model, and it looks very interesting!
