It is a big watch, diver’s watch type, the case is highly recognizable because of its turtle shape, the San Martin is a nice homage of the old Seiko diving watch made in old times, I like collecting diver’s watches, I usually went to the beach and shown my watches in front of my friends, they also like them, some even have bought several pieces, also from San Martin. Perhaps you do not know San Martin too much, they are a very good custom-made Chinese watch brand I like very much, now in the watch market of China, many custom-made brands appeared, but none of them now are as popular as San Martin.
This San Martin watch I am going to review is totally born for the ocean, the color combination of bronze and green, the deep water resistance, super dial lume and rubber band, these elements make the San Martin a perfect diver’s watch for you to dive in the ocean.
The watch is made with solid bronze material, it has a case that looks like the shell of a turtle, the case is about 44mm in diameter, but measuring from the top to the bottom, it is 47mm in height. The bronze case, including the bezel, is brushed, while the case sides are polished like a mirror, the entire case has a certain degree of arc shape so that it will fit your wrist in a better way, the crown is positioned at 4 o’clock, it is big and has unique threads design so that be more convenient to operate. There is a shark icon on the polished face of the crown, it looks fierce.
The dial is green, I like this color, it is a perfect match for the bronze watch. The hour markers are very big, hour hand and minute hand are very wide, they are all filled with Swiss Superlume that looks a little cyan. The dial has a very good readability first because of its green color, second, the green lume is very strong and long-lasting, the red dot on the central second hand is also a finishing touch of the entire dial. If you take a closer look at the dial, you will find this watch manufacturer did a great job on the hands finish, which is brushing on the front face and polishing on beveled sides.
I asked the supplier to change this green rubber band for me because the watch was originally equipped with an old brown leather strap. The green rubber band is a great fit for this watch, the brown leather band is also good, it matches the bronze case, how does this watch look on the brown leather strap? By the way, the watch is equipped with a Japanese NH35A automatic movement, which is stable but perhaps has a bigger inaccuracy than the Miyota, anyway, 40 seconds to 1 minute faster is acceptable to me. The box comes with the watch is my most favorite, it looks so solid and strong, a perfect match fo this robust diver’s watch.
