Key Features
- NH35 Automatic Movement: Powered by the renowned Japan-made NH35 caliber, this self-winding mechanical movement ensures accurate timekeeping with a power reserve of approximately 41 hours. It features hand-wind capability and hacking seconds, allowing for precise time setting—ideal for divers and professionals who demand reliability.
- 200-Meter Water Resistance (20Bar): Engineered for serious aquatic use, the watch is rated for depths up to 200 meters. The screw-down crown and case back enhance sealing, making it suitable for recreational diving, snorkeling, swimming, and other water-based activities.
- Sapphire Crystal with Anti-Reflective Coating: The front crystal is made of scratch-resistant sapphire with a blue light anti-glare (AG) coating, offering superior clarity and protection against daily wear. This ensures the dial remains legible in bright conditions and resists damage from impacts or abrasions.
- Ceramic Bezel with Luminous Markers: The unidirectional rotating bezel is crafted from durable ceramic and features a luminous marker at the 12 o’clock position for easy tracking of elapsed time underwater. The bezel’s precise 120-click mechanism provides tactile feedback and secure positioning.
- High-Visibility Luminous Display: Both the hands and hour markers are coated with BGW-91 blue light and C3 green light luminous material, ensuring excellent visibility in low-light or dark environments. The snowflake-style hands, inspired by vintage tool watches, enhance readability and add a distinctive visual flair.
- 316L Stainless Steel Bracelet with Safety Clasp: The solid stainless steel bracelet includes female end links for a seamless fit and a folding clasp with safety lock, engraved with the San Martin hexagon logo. The pin structure allows for easy adjustment and secure wear during active use.
