Seiko
Seiko's third-party supply version of the 4R35, sold to external watch brands and modders worldwide. Adds hacking and hand-winding over the 7S26 it effectively replaced. The NH35 has become the default automatic movement for watch modding and microbrand watches, thanks to its low cost, reliability, and wide availability of compatible parts including dials, hands, and cases in the Seiko-compatible format.

The community take
Owners widely praise the San Martin Turtle Diver SN047 for its exceptional value, retro design, and impressive build quality, noting the well-milled case with no rough edges, radial brushing, and high polish. The blue sunburst dial, applied indices, and applied logo are visually striking, and the C3 lume is consistently described as incredibly bright and long-lasting, comparable to Seiko's LumiBrite. The bezel action is generally improved with nice clicks, though some report minor back play or a requirement for significant force to turn. The NH35 movement is considered reliable, and the screw-down crown feels smooth with clean threading. Despite its 44mm case diameter, many find the San Martin Turtle Diver SN047 wears smaller than expected and is comfortable on wrists up to 7.5 inches. Some owners find the white date wheel distracting, and the overall size may be large for smaller wrists.
