San Martin Seamaster Spectre 007 Homage Watch

San Martin Spectre 007 Dial

I introduced a homage watch of Seamaster 007 Spectre made by Pagani Design before, it is a blue one and looks beautiful, today, I want to show you another Seamaster Spectre homage watch from San Martin, I made a full review of San Martin including the background of this brand before, you guys must know this brand better.  San Martin is a homage brand that has been in this industry for many years, it has a very good reputation among watch fans all over the world. Usually San Martin has a higher quality finish than other Chinese homage watches, although also sold at higher prices, I still recommend San Martin, which you can consider as your first choice when need a high quality homage watch of Submariner, Tudor Black Bay or Rolex GMT-Master.

The watch is made with solid 316L stainless steel, it has a case diameter of 39.5mm, not including the crown, the case is 13.5mm in thickness, which includes the domed sapphire crystal, to enhance the transparency of the crystal, the inner side of the crystal has anti-reflective coating. Check the pictures in this post, the finish on the case and bracelet is really superior to that on Pagani Design. However, considering the price, the finish of Pagani Design watches is also much better that other watches with the same price level.

The bezel is ceramic made and has a lume pearl that looks different from the one of real Omega Spectre, the numeral markers on the bezel are also different. In dark conditions, the bezel markers will also emit a strong green lume light, like the hour markers and hands on the dial.

Now comes to the dial, which is sandwiched, the strong and long-lasting lume is guaranteed, and this structure also enhances a more tridimensional visual experience. Hour hand and minute hand are well cut in correct shape with nice finish on the edge, the central second hand has a small round lume dot on the top, this is a very obvious feature on Omega Spectre, while on Pagani Design, the position of this  lume dot on the second hand is wrong.

The watch has a NH35 automatic movement inside, a very common movement that can be usually seen among this type of watches made in China. In a word, I think this is a very quality Omega Spectre homage watch, but unfortunately San Martin does not offer extra nato band for this watch.

Pagani Design Seamaster 007 Spectre Homage Watch Review

Pagani Design Specture 007 with Box

You can not imagine how popular the Seanaster 007 Spectre was when this movie launched in that year, Omega Seamaster is one of the best-selling diver’s watches, plus the charm of Daniel Craig wearing in the movie, a lot of watch fans and 007 movie fans were after this watch, and the replica of this Seamaster 007 made by VSF was also highly welcomed at that time. Pagani Design makes this homage, it looks good and it is a very good-looking diver’s watch, but I do not think it is an exact clone, it is not a successful homage of the Seamaster 007 Spectre. I am not mean the quality of the watch is not good, actually it has a very good quality at this price point, you know, the quality of watches from Pagani Design always deserves their prices. I mean its appearance is similar to Spectre Seamaster 007, but there are color difference and design difference. I do not know if San Martin has this homage model, but if they do make, it will look very close to Seamaster Spectre in appearance.

The color difference, there are two places, first, the blue color of the watch, it is a bit too bluish, and second, the orange lume material applied on bezel markers, hour markers and hands are too bright, well, I still think this is a good quality Spectre homage watch, its case shape is very correct, very similar to the shape of Seamaster, look at the case, especially the lugs, the arched shape can fit your hand in a more comfortable way, the edge of the lug has a polished finish, which is in contrast with the the brushing of the case. Like the finish of the bracelet, the brushing one middle links and polishing on the links of two sides.

I like the blue dial, it features skeleton hour markers except the arrow-shaped markers at 3, 6, 9 and 12. The plate on the bottom is fully applied orange lume material, this sandwiched dial structure gives the wearer a better visual enjoyment, but also can be applied with more lume material to guarantee a durable lume light effect of the dial. The movement behind the solid back is a Miyota 8215, well, I will like it more if the watch has a transparent crystal back. The movement is ok, inaccuracy is about +-15 seconds each day, a very good movement chosen by a lot of low-end homage watch brands.
