Curator's Note — San Martin Sunburst Diver Automatic
Curator's Note
Just handled this at the fair and it landed in our collection. The Miyota 9015 here is the same movement in watches selling for $800 to $1,000 elsewhere. The enamel sunburst dial is genuinely exceptional—hand-applied indices, proper BGW-X1 lume, and the finish shifts from gray to green to blue depending on the light. At 11.4mm thick with a screw crown and 200m capability, this is a diver that doesn't pretend to be something it isn't.
