I like this watch and found one that seems to be the same under the name "Tandorino"? I am going to purchase one with a PT 5000 on the Black Friday sale for $96! Seems like a screaming bargin but, will see.

Like the new format with the quick specs filmed over a snooker table, and loving the smooooth lounge jazz soundtrack. Thumbs up from me. Interesting watch as well. I'd not heard of the Unimatic. Had been thinking about trying to get a Smiths PRS-40, but this might scratch the strange watch itch. As for the Cali dial, glad this gimmick, sorry, design milestone was invented. I used to be so frustrated with the 10-15 minutes it took me to discern the time on a traditional dial, so that's a result. Keep up the great work.

A comment on the lugs, they actually help keep the wrist drier when used in a diving capacity. Look up the Rolex Deep Sea Special, this is actually a derivation of that watch coupled with Rolex California dials of the 40's/50's. I think once one starts to think of the functional advantages of the "weird" features of the watch -- it becomes really cool. Think about the domed crystal. Much stronger than a flat piece of crystal in a material that can shatter.

Looks like Unimatic. the problem with the watch case is that it doesn't seat beautifully on the wrist. a lot of space between lugs and the wrist which I personally don't like to wear such a watch on my wrist. watch should hug the wrist ergonomically not to look like an extremity

Honestly, this is the first time I've thought that this dial pattern didn't just feel totally random. Maybe your interesting history lesson on these helped (rather probably lol). Even though there's a short L2L size here, I'm not sure I could get used to these non curved lugs on my tiny wrist. But otherwise I really like it, good price as well for a SM. Great review as usual, and I really liked the "editing experiment" regarding the specs etc.

I like everything about it except for those straight lugs, but I suspect it's the type of watch that could easily grow on you, it's definitely got it's own quirky distinctive look. If the lugs curved down like the 62MAS it might sit better but it does look really good on that black rubber strap though!

I'm on the fence for an Unimatic U2. But never pulled the trigger because it was either not available or I was hesitant to spend 400€+ for a watch with NH35 inside. There were also reported quality issues with Unimatic watches. Happy to see this "Hommage". This gives me the opportunity to get my first (officially) Chinese watch. First California dial as well. All for a tiny amount of money. I'm looking forward to the delivery. I'm not sure if the decision to change from 22 to 20mm was ideal because the lugs are chunkier now.

I am a fan of vintage tool and military watches, and I had high hopes for this watch. A few months in and so far, not loving it, surprisingly. Something feels off about it. The watch is very thick. IMO, way thicker than it needs to be. And the lugs are way too long for this size watch. And I hate that the lugs actually seem to curve up, rather than down. Really hate that. Not giving up just yet. I will try it on a NATO strap, maybe a rubber strap and see if it wears better. But if not, I am done with Chinese homages.

I'm impressed that you found it comfortable to wear, the profile would make me think otherwise. I think the case shape is interesting, bit I'm not sure it looks like an integrated design. And the signature on the buckle - is that another San Martin logo? Someone take the mouse out of their designers hand!

The review made me want it and then immediately killed it. Whoever at Rolex originally designed that case shape was hopefully banished to Germany to study the organically curved lugs of Fliegers. I mean what the heck? Nice price and specs but there's no wrist size or shape known to man compatible with this thing. Apart from that, keep the new structure, it improves the pacing.

I know a girl called Cali, don't like her either, so... Interesting watch by far, but i guess in reality it's - tad - unwearable. But as always, thanks for the review/ presentation. Keep it up mate.

I felt exactly the same. I was going to get the tropic dial version san martin sell a sand blasted case finish, but didn't really like the sandblasted look compared to this one! Glad I went for this instead.

Hi there thanks for the review. I don't like Cali dials. The case is too straight. I just don't like it but it's just the design d not the quality of the watch.

@@watchmewithwatches well, I bought one! At first I thought I should get the original Unimatic, but they're stupid expensive and not many available. I do have another Unimatic ordered though. The San Martin I got comes in a color the original didn't offer. I am embarrassed to say it's stealing wrist time from some much more expensive watches! Is it wrong to wear a homage of a homage?

In a technical design sense, I like the watch. However, it is anti-ergonomic, it doesn't conform to the wrist in any way, is kind of ugly. It's not for me. But it looks like it's a well done and fairly priced version of _this._

$168 for a watch with this many polarizing elements and an NH35 ... nope ... not for me. Plus on a personal note I am really not a fan of a California (mixed roman and arabics) dial .. aesthetically.

There really shouldn’t be debate here. It is clearly copying Unimatic and adds nothing of substance of its own.
