San Martin’s SN0144CG-9 puts the process on the dial

The post says the watch uses natural lacquer sap harvested from the lacquer tree. It describes a metal base going through lacquering, slow drying, sanding, and polishing, and says exposure to natural light and UV rays causes subtle oxidation that makes the lacquer surface more translucent and warmer in tone over time.

Those are maker claims from the announcement, not observations made here. The Reddit title uses the phrase 3D-Printed Enamel Dial, while the body describes lacquer craft combined with 3D printing technology. The post does not describe the printing process, the dial structure, or whether enamel is being used as a material term or as color-and-finish language.

Visually, the intention is clear enough from the wording: this is a watch whose main design argument is depth, light response, and surface finish, rather than a new complication or a decorative printed motif.

The post lists the following specifications for the SN0144CG-9:

Lug-to-lug means the case length from the tip of one lug to the opposite lug. On paper, the 39 mm diameter and 46.5 mm lug-to-lug give a simple proportion to record: the case length is greater than the width, but the announcement does not give enough information to say how the watch wears. These are listed specifications from the announcement, not measurements taken by Crown Quorum Magazine.

The announcement says the SN0144CG-9 was officially released “today,” which, in the dated Reddit post, points to October 13, 2026. The post gives no retail price, ordering link, market-by-market availability, stock status or warranty terms, and links no separate San Martin product page.

The only public release link here is the r/MicrobrandWatches announcement. The core confirmed record, for now, is the model code SN0144CG-9, the two stated color combinations, the natural-lacquer claim, the 3D printing claim, and the listed movement and case dimensions.
