Great, comprehensive review. Looks like the Maen Hudson “ticks a lot of boxes” for me… great finishing. The only slight ‘niggles’ would be the ghost date position when adjusting the time (in reality not a major downside really), and the lack of lume of the bezel, otherwise the package is pretty spot on. One thing I think I’d change though (if I was Maen) is the Hudson dial text - I’d swap this for a Water Resistance rating - 30atm / 300m - not that I do much diving - but I do have several watches and quick check of the dial before I jump in the pool is reassuring! I see they have a gmt version in production (both quartz and automatic - I’m a Quartz fan - more bang for your buck, better convenience and accuracy) - hope you get to review that too.
Hello, would anyone know if the movement is the only difference between the quartz and automatic version? I am being offered a MK 4 Black automatic version, but looks a bit different in the pictures vrs this video.
This Maen case appears very similar to my San Martin 38mm Retro-diver. Overall dimensions look the same, shape and details the same, and finish the same.
I thought so too. Now san Martin has a gmt model as does Maen. Both look very similar again. The san Martin has got really good reviews esp in the finishing comments
