San Martin SN0144 JianZhan Automatic Watch

The San Martin SN0144 combines a Japanese Miyota 9015 automatic movement with a dial inspired by traditional Chinese Jian Zhan porcelain.

Rather than using a conventional flat sunburst finish, the dial is produced with a textured low-temperature enamel-style process designed to recreate the depth and irregular character associated with Jian Zhan ceramics. The surface remains physically flat but produces a layered, almost three-dimensional appearance as the viewing angle and light change.

Available in 36mm, 39mm and 42mm case sizes, the SN0144 can be configured as a compact dress watch, a versatile everyday watch or a larger contemporary piece.

Jian Zhan-Inspired Textured Dial

Jian Zhan pottery developed during China’s Song Dynasty and became especially associated with tea culture. The SN0144 translates that visual influence into a modern mechanical watch through a textured dial with shifting color and depth.

Depending on the selected version, dial choices include:

• Gradient Green
• Purple
• Blue
• Red
• Orange
• Gilt Black
• Gray-White
• Mother-of-Pearl variations

Applied hour markers and a 3D San Martin hexagon logo sit above the dial, while the date window is positioned neatly at 6 o’clock.

Miyota 9015 Automatic Movement

Inside is the Miyota 9015, a slim Japanese automatic movement widely used in higher-specification mechanical watches.

It operates at 28,800 vibrations per hour, giving the seconds hand a smoother sweep than many entry-level automatic movements.

The movement provides:

• Automatic winding
• Manual winding
• Hacking seconds
• Quick-set date
• 24 jewels
• Approx. 42-hour power reserve
• 28,800 vibrations per hour

The relatively thin movement also helps San Martin keep the complete watch to approximately 10.1mm thick across all three case sizes.

Choose 36mm, 39mm or 42mm

One of the strongest advantages of the SN0144 is that the same design is available in three case sizes.

The 36mm version gives the watch a more traditional dress-watch proportion. The 39mm model offers the most versatile middle ground, while the 42mm version creates a stronger wrist presence without adding extra case thickness.

Sapphire Crystal and BGW-X1 Lume

A sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating protects the dial.

The hands and applied markers use BGW-X1 blue lume, improving legibility when moving from bright surroundings into low-light conditions without changing the refined character of the watch during the day.

316L Stainless Steel Case

The case is made from 316L stainless steel and combines brushed surfaces with polished details.

A screw-down crown helps support the watch’s 100-meter water-resistance rating, while the crown carries San Martin’s three-dimensional hexagon emblem.

The screw-down case back continues the Chinese design theme with an engraved seal-script marking inspired by the maker’s stamps traditionally found on the underside of Chinese porcelain.

Bracelet or FKM Rubber Strap

The SN0144 is available with two distinctly different wearing options.

Stainless Steel Bracelet

The solid 316L stainless steel bracelet features brushed surfaces with polished and chamfered edges. An on-the-fly adjustable clasp allows small fit adjustments without removing links or using a tool.

Curved-End FKM Strap

The premium FKM fluororubber strap uses curved ends that follow the case profile closely.

It produces a lighter and more casual configuration, particularly suitable for the green, purple, blue, red and other colorful dial options.

It is rated to 100 meters / 10 Bar water resistance and uses a screw-down crown and case back.

The 36mm version offers traditional compact proportions, 39mm is the most versatile option for many wrists, and 42mm provides the greatest visual presence.

Miyota 9015 Original Design Chinese Style Dress Watch

The dial of SN0144-GX is inspired by ” Jian Zhan”, one of the Eight Famous Porcelains of the Song Dynasty, which has a history of more than 1,000 years and flourished during the Song Dynasty, becoming the imperial tea set of the royal family.

Screw-down Case Back, Engraved with Chinese stamp “Made in San Martin”, inspired by the stamp on the bottom of Chinese porcelain “JianZhan”.

We refer to the way Chinese porcelain is stamped with the name of the manufacturer on the bottom. This stamp is an official certification that indicates its origin and manufacturer. Now many very fine porcelains auctioned at auctions have information about the manufacturer or the year on the bottom.
The outer circle is some information about the brand and model, and the middle is the seal script Chinese made by San Martin, which makes it integrate more Chinese culture and original design elements.

The dial design is inspired by the ancient Chinese “JianZhan” porcelain culture. These exquisite and beautiful dials are enough to fascinate and intoxicate people!

The photos taken may not capture the true effect of the dial, which is actually very beautiful.
The final version shipped has a date wheel color that matches the dial.

The effect of our “Jian Zhan” dial is similar to the Enamel process. A 3D pattern is made on the bottom, and then the corresponding dial color is made. Finally, a transparent protective film is made on the outside. The overall texture is similar to the Enamel process, and it will present different visual effects from different angles. It looks like a 3D effect, but it is actually flat.
This process can withstand a temperature test of 180 degrees without changing color, so it is also called low-temperature enamel process.
