The San Martin 62MAS Homage (SN007) is a Chinese-made automatic diver inspired by the 1965 Seiko 62MAS — Seiko's first dive watch.

On the wrist

Wearing the SN007 V4, the first thing you notice is how settled it feels on the wrist — 40mm and 50mm lug-to-lug is compact by modern dive-watch standards, and the watch sits flush rather than cantilevering off the wrist. The sunburst grey dial has real depth: muted under office light, it comes alive at an angle. The C3 lume hits a saturated emerald green after a few seconds in darkness, covering both the applied hour indices and the hands thoroughly. The 120-click ceramic bezel engages with a satisfying, firm click that punches above the price class.

What San Martin hasn't polished, literally, is the case finishing. Flanks are brushed to a uniform matte rather than the alternating brush-and-polish treatment that gives more expensive dive watches their visual complexity. The stainless bracelet is solid but lacks refined taper and drape. The screw-down case back carries an embossed shark motif — decorative, but the solid back means no movement view. These are genuine compromises, not disqualifiers; they're the reason this watch costs a fraction of its inspirations. For a buyer who wants the retro-diver silhouette, reliable depth rating, and every-day wearability without collector anxiety, the SN007 makes a strong, honest case for itself.

Bottom line

A compelling value retro diver that nails the essential 62MAS proportions, delivers genuinely bright lume, and runs on a proven Seiko movement — hard to fault at the price if you can accept utilitarian case finishing.

Who it's for

Buyers looking for a compact, retro-styled automatic diver with a real 200m depth rating and proven NH35A movement under $260. The 40mm case and ~50mm lug-to-lug gives the V4 more wrist presence than its diameter suggests; the 39mm fans-edition SN007-G-B is the better fit for smaller wrists when available. Good daily-wear candidate for the 62MAS enthusiast on a budget.

Who should skip it

Skip it if you expect exhibition caseback, want boutique-grade alternating case finishing, or need a no-date dial — none are available in the standard SN007 NH35A line.

Before you buy

Multiple sub-references exist with different sizes: SN007-G-B (39mm), SN007-G-V4 (40mm), SN007-G-X/X1 (37mm, SW200/PT5000) — confirm the exact reference you are ordering
The 39mm SN007-G-B 'fans edition' has been listed as sold out across major retailers; check availability before purchasing
'Chronograph Bezel' in San Martin's own product listings is a Chinese-English mistranslation for the elapsed-time dive bezel — there are no chronograph pushers on NH35A models

FAQ

Is the 62MAS Homage automatic or quartz?

The 62MAS Homage is automatic. The Seiko NH35A winds itself from the motion of your wrist, so it needs no battery. A full wind holds roughly 41 hours, so it keeps running overnight off the wrist; left longer it stops and restarts once you wear or hand-wind it.

What movement does the 62MAS Homage use?

The 62MAS Homage is powered by the Seiko NH35A from Seiko, an automatic caliber with 24 jewels, a 41-hour power reserve, and a 21,600 bph beat rate. Being automatic, it winds from the motion of your wrist and needs no battery.

Does the 62MAS Homage have a date?

Yes — the 62MAS Homage has a date display on the dial. The date advances automatically as the movement runs, so the current day of the month is always visible at a glance, and you can set it from the crown after the watch has been left to stop.

How water resistant is the 62MAS Homage?

The 62MAS Homage is rated to 200 m. That is true dive territory: fine for swimming, snorkelling and recreational scuba diving, as well as all daily wear. Whatever the rating, avoid operating the crown or pushers underwater, and have the gaskets checked periodically to keep it reliable.

How big does the 62MAS Homage wear?

At 40 mm across with a 50 mm lug-to-lug and 14 mm thick, the 62MAS Homage wears as a modern medium-to-large watch. Lug-to-lug is the measurement that really decides fit, since it sets how far the case spans the wrist — 50 mm suits most wrists, and smaller wrists especially should check that figure.

How does this compare to the original vintage Seiko 62MAS it homages?

The 1965 Seiko 62MAS was 37mm and used the Seiko 6217 caliber; San Martin's SN007 runs 39–40mm with a modern NH35A. It's a visual tribute, not a licensed reproduction, and carries none of the vintage collectibility or value retention of an original.

Is a no-logo or no-date variant available?

The V4 is offered with or without the San Martin hexagon logo on the dial. A no-date variant is not part of the standard SN007 NH35A lineup; the NH35A date window appears at 3 o'clock on all base versions.

Is the SW200-powered SN007-G-X worth the higher price over the NH35A versions?

The 37mm SN007-G-X/X1 variants offer Sellita SW200 or PT5000 movements and notably better case finishing at roughly $300–$450 — a meaningful jump. Worth considering if movement quality and the smaller 37mm case matter; less so if you primarily want the retro aesthetic at the lowest entry price.
