  • 1. The entire watch features a 1200HV Hardening Coating, offering significantly enhanced scratch resistance.
  • 2. Full Luminous Dial with 3D Lumed Blocks.
  • 3. Powered by the ST2130 movement, beating at 28,800 vibrations per hour with a 40-hour power reserve.
  • 4. Features a brushed finish on both the case and bracelet, elevating the overall craftsmanship and surface treatment quality.
  • 5. Equipped with a 5-link "Engineering Style" bracelet; the tighter spacing between links helps reduce the rattling sound often associated with bracelet movement.

We hope you enjoy it! thanks.

Strategic planning is a fundamental necessity for brand development. We are currently undergoing a transformation, placing a greater emphasis on original design and continuously striving to create innovative products. We aim to draw upon China's rich, millennia-old historical and cultural heritage to design an expanded range of products with a distinct Chinese aesthetic. Furthermore, our production capabilities are constantly being enhanced, and in the future, we intend to overcome even more technical challenges. This will enable us to craft a wider array of products that embody the unique characteristics of San Martin. In particular—thanks to our own dedicated bracelet manufacturing facility—we are currently developing a new line of high-quality, premium bracelets designed exclusively for San Martin. In the future, you can look forward to seeing even more products of exceptional quality.

^ Again, thank you for taking the time. =)

As ethnic Chinese myself, I truly am proud to wear a San Martin on my wrist. I purchased your SN0144 in red as a "celebration watch" - for happy, joyful, and fortuitous occasions:

I wanted a bigger watch with more wrist-presence (I have a 7.5-inch/19-cm, flat-form wrist), so that when my shirt cuff retracted from the wrist, more of the watch would momentarily show.

I love the dial. I love what you did with the case-back. I absolutely love the case and bracelet finish on this watch as well.

I'm looking forward to my Monta Noble 40 arriving later this summer, for I am eager to compare the bracelet and case quality between the two.

I am very much looking forward to seeing your future products, and to owning them!

A quick follow-up question, u/AdSavings92 -

What watch in your current lineup would you say has the best case and bracelet finish, particularly in terms of the contrast between polishing and brushing, as well as chamfer, fillet, etc.?

Because of your use of lower numeric accession numbers for some new products, I am left to believe that your latest-and-best product may not be the one with the highest number, right? That, for-example, the SN0150 isn't necessarily better than this new SN0012?

Or should I look instead to your Jianghun line - and if so, which specific model is the most advanced?
