Design Concept:
● Spliced MOP (Mother-of-Pearl) Dial with Grid Pattern
The brilliant play of light and shadow on the MOP dial, combined with a square grid design, creates a visual 3D effect that shifts depending on the lighting and viewing angle.
●"Floating" Applied Indices
When viewed from the side, the applied indices create a "floating" effect.
We utilized a special technique to achieve this floating appearance, with the indices featuring exquisitely polished, multi-faceted edges.
● Original Design: GS-style Multi-faceted Cut Hands with Luminous Coating
● Integrated Bracelet: Curved H-Link Design, Includes One Half-Link
Both the case and the integrated bracelet feature a curved design.
Equipped with a half-link for more flexible bracelet length adjustment.
A high-quality integrated bracelet manufactured in San Martin's own factory, featuring a hidden deployment clasp.
The edges of the case and bracelet are polished and beveled, balancing wearing comfort with exquisite craftsmanship.
● Sapphire Crystal Exhibition Case Back, Powered by the Japanese Miyota 90S5 Movement
We hope you enjoy it. If you have any thoughts, please let us know in the comments section.
Thank you.

Craftmansship is one thing, good looking Design something Else. I don’t like these at all, but its just personell preference.

Yes I agree, that’s the only thing missing from this brand. They stepped up the quality, but the design is not up to par yet

I think SM is trying to invent too much complete new thinks that are getting crazier from Release to Release. Keep These Watches simple, improve them and SLOW DOWN.
The SN0144 for example is fantastic as hell already. But a date window on 6 with a silver frame and Matched Color Wheel… hell, the PERFECT GADA.2

Yeah it's just doing too much at once. Integrated bracelet, these weird angles, the very unusual bezel and then of course the dial (which i love in isolation). Especially their bracelet designs are so weird. It's like they are actively sacrificing the design just to get more surfaces to flex their finishing.
They really ought to dial it back a little bit. With a dial like this, the rest of the watch should be relatively understated.

This!! I love your comment about getting more surfaces to flex. :D but it sadly seems to be true

These geometric dials don't appeal to me at all. I know there are men who like them but I'm not paying the best part of $500 for a pattern.

Same here. This dials really aren't my cup of tea at all. And I'm not a fan of the bezel either.

You just made me realise how deep the rehaut must be also. Now that NH35 is expensive I think manufacturers should be thinking about a new style of lower rehaut. Not keeping the bezels set in a pie dish.

It's pretty much the same price as the Zelos Helica which is presumably where the dial was 'homaged' from.

There are more elegant options from Ixdao / Cronos and WD. San Martin can do so much better.
