I own one and they are great. High build quality and they really stand out. The emerald dial, gold hands and indices really pop. The lume is incredibly bright. The glass is double domed, cut nicely and exceptionally clear. It's hard to find fault with this watch.
A very nice looking watch. Cronos is making one with the pt5000 and the sw200 for $189 and $289 . The reason why they don't interchange the nh35 and the pt5000 is because they are different sizes.
As usual, a very effective review, with a great narrative as well. Keep up the good work!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I can't explain how impressed I was when found its hands still slightly glowing in the morning
I have this watch and love it. The only small negative criticism is that the crown knurling is a bit aggressive and therefore uncomfortable. Otherwise, a perfect watch.
I have this in dark blue. The patina is beautiful. If you are on the fence, just do it. It is a very comfortable, excellently made watch. The strap is amazing! This one in the video is still a little shiney and gold, it will develop patina over time and look like it really should. You can also remove the patina with lemon juice and bring back the shine of the case. But, it stands out very nice with the patina.
It's a great watch, the only thing keeping me from wearing my blue sterile version every day is the green marks I get on my wrist. I'm super happy with the purchase. The turtle case and metal bezel really shows off the bronze patina. I'm sure anyone that bought this watch would be happy with it.
Excellent presentation. Really made me wish my wrists were larger or they offered a significantly smaller one as an option. The 6105 Captain Willard styled watch has never really been on my radar till this afternoon. Your close up photography especially of the hands really showed how well they were cut and finished. Impressive especially considering the price.
Looks quite nice and although am not a turtle fan, I actually like it. I don't own any bronze watches but I've got an itch for one. All the bronze watches I've seen so far have a s/steel caseback obviously not to stain the wrist but what happens with the rest of the watch that actually touched the wrist is another story. 2 years warranty, stamped and signed, just how reliable is that, wondering whether SanMartin will honor that in case there would be a warranty claim. The WR is also an issue to wonder, whether this watch can be actually used for diving and not just some splashes or just desk diving. Other than that, looks great on the brown strap, bronze/green dial/brown leather are a great combo. Very thoughtful of you to include a smaller wrist, that way a broader spectrum of viewers will see how does it show on the wrist. It's a compact watch, versatile dimensions. Thank you for the well worded and presented review.
After watching this video I decided to buy this watch... It will be my first bronze watch as well as my first San Martin watch... Thank you!
Thank you for this! You delivered as promised...im a 6.2" wrist and i think im pulling the trigger.
Let me tell you something, I am a one watch collection Rolex guy but this watch right here is so beautiful and original. I just love the turtle bronze case and I'm definitely thinking about getting one now
I saw the first review and didn’t think much about this watch but looking again now I see it’s a real beauty.
@Rene Alexis Penaloza Munoz, it is a really good watch, worth every dollar imho. QC and finishing are at a very high level. And it is bronze 🙂
Bought the green version last week and the Diver 6200. Still waiting for delivery. I'm sure I'm going to like them both. So much so that I might buy the blue version also. They have the best customer service on Ali Express. Unlike Pagani design who delivered a watch with a defected bracelet which didn't close and I'm trying to get customer support to replace it and they simply ignore.
Your reviews are excellent and this is a very interesting watch
Давно для себя заметил, что нравится бронзовый корпус в часах, но пока нет возможности купить. Часы красивые и видные!
Parabéns pelo vídeo! O melhor sobre esse relógio 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
How does bronze behave relative to steel when impacts occur?
Thanks for the review. Looks like an amazing homage to cn. Willard.
It is!
I've been eying this watch and also the Gerlach Submarine. Better price and same movement on this one. The case is beautiful on both but seems like the Willard will be more comfortable.
It looks like a perfect watch for me at this price point 🥰 I will probably go into it in the future !
Looks Solid
Thanks for the video. I picked one of these up. It's by far the largest diameter watch I wear.... But it seems to work with this case shape. I think you were kind of nitpicking.... The only thing I might prefer is if it was a tiny bit smaller by a millimeter lug to lug and in diameter.... But I like it.
Thanks for sharing!
Спасибо за очень интересный обзор !
Сегодня заказал себе такие.
Жду от вас обзоров .
Удачи ! Пока !
nice watch and good review
Thanks!
Looks too bulky in a slender wrist🤔 a bit high up on the wrist.. does look expensive though👀 the shark logo on the crown is super cool 🔥
@WesKnows, that slender wrist owner wants to keep the watch 🙄🙂
Hello. Are the dials and the case used on this San Martin the same as the ones used in the Cronos Bronze captain willard? I know they are probably made in the same factory. Does that mean that they are the same watches only with differing logos and movements? I am asking this because the Cronos Captain willard is sold out in Blue (which I have fallen in love with), and I was wondering if this is a good alternative if it has exactly the same dial and case. Many thanks.
Hi, what about green hands on sea holidays with this bronze beauty? Have very strong desire to acquire bronze cpt. Willard, but every evening lemon juice procedures isn't very attractive. Please, dispel my doubts. Thnx 🙂
By the way, awesome review! Subscribed immediately 👍🏻
On the macro it's looks really crisp
.... and the next review ... SN058 their new "Datejust" 41mm ??? ... My first thought, a little too expensive ... especially since I already have the SN059 (pink gold and marble dial, a pure marvel, it makes me want to buy THE genuine Rolex, ... but the genuine Deepsea first !!) and a Pagani Design "Datejust" with an "almost" blue dial !
The quality for money of these chinese pieces is scary. Nothing can touch this watch at this price point.
Except the Chronos version!
how do you compare this model to the 62 mas? i am try to make decision thanks
Very nice
Thanks @Zippo 🙂👍
I don't think I could go back to Seiko after experiencing SM quality firsthand!
Nice watch but I’m not a fan of bronze! My last San Martin arrived a week ago, the famous SN005, .... but out of order, the oscillating weight breaks down in the case, I contact San Martin directory to find both a solution!!!
Issue solved, by myself, the DIY ... screw of the oscillating weight ... unscrewed !! Not easy to fix, very little !!!
Are you happy with the green over the black dial?
Doesn't the seiko nh35 have a day display as well as date?
Отличные часы, всем рекомендую!
I bought this watch over the holidays. I’ve enjoyed it a lot. I opted for the blue dial without text. For the price, you can be disappointed.
Thanks for sharing!
Bronze is not my cup of tea, but I like the dial color
Can anyone confirm that the green dial on this copper Willard would be the same green on the San Martin willard with the standard case as opposed to the bronze?
Can you review San Martin pepsi GMT?
Today bought green one for 191 USD. :)
Knit picking wow you get so much for your $ I just ordered by his on Amazon
Black or green dial? Hmmm 🤔
Now trying to pull the trigger...back of my head its either this vs Steeldive Capt. Willard...lol thoughts?
I have both. This bronze is over and above a finer crafted piece. Case, bezel, dial, hands, all better. But, it is more expensive.
Look at the comparison between heimdallr and steeldive video
The heimdallr wipes the floor with the steeldive in my opinion. San Martin is another step up. Further, the price between the Steeldive and San Martin bronze is a very small difference.
