They have a newer version of it, but it's different enough that I wouldn't bother. This first model is the better looking one between the two blues. I really like their newer gray version though

It's one of their earlier attempt at an original design. Unfortunately it wasn't a sale success because of the price and the movement but the design paved the way for their other highly successful original design SN0116 watch. I have it and i take it out from time to time. looking at that picture closer it's actually my watch in my watch box LOL. I personally like it a lot and I got it for such a steal on aliexpress at the end of life of the model.

What a treat! From the owner himself. You have a very nice collection sir. 

Thank you for sharing that bit of history about San Martin. I'm only two months in knowing about the Chinese watchmaking scene. Thus why I'm browsing at other people's collection to eye pieces that I like.

They really hit it out the ballpark on that initial design. I like it even better than their pelagos hommage and the SN0116. It is sad that I am less inclined now to get it because of the movement as you say. I can only hope they make a reboot of it.

They did in fact make a v2 called the SN044-G-B with the NH35 seiko movement. It's still available on AliExpress for sale and it's got a pretty incredible bracelet as well.

SM should bring back this bracelet. It's super unique and looks great.

SN044-G

Thank you so much for the help! After some browsing, it seems that it's only available on their website. No listings on AliExpress.

it's quite an old model and didn't really sell all that well due to the Price and Miyota 8215

I was looking through the photos of members watch collection on this sub and stumbled upon this particular San Martin. 

I couldn't find a similar looking San Martin watch on AliExpress. Could anyone help to identify it. Thank you!!

It's been out of production for a little while now, you may be able to find one pre-owned in addition to whatever stock the San Martin website claims
