A Seiko (TMI / Seiko Instruments) automatic GMT caliber — the export-market designation of the Seiko 4R34 — that adds a 24-hour fourth hand to the NH35 / 4R35 base. It runs at 21,600 vph with about 41 hours of power reserve, hacks and hand-winds, and has become the default affordable GMT for microbrands.

Owners talk.

“

The San Martin Vintage NH34 GMT SN005 draws broad owner appreciation for its fit and finish—specifically the smooth crown action, well-executed Bakelite-style bezel, and Seiko NH34 movement running only a few seconds fast daily. The on-the-fly adjustable clasp improves daily wearability, and owners praise its bold vintage Tudor-like aesthetic and color treatment. However, the case carries real ergonomic drawbacks: it wears substantially larger than its 40mm spec (closer to 42mm), the razor-sharp 90-degree bottom edge digs uncomfortably into the wrist, and the extreme flatness compounds the issue. Owners also report uneven lume application across hour markers, weak hand lume, and a bezel that feels imprecise and falls out of alignment easily—paired with 12-6-9 marker misalignment. Overall, the San Martin Vintage NH34 GMT SN005 wins owners over for its finishing quality and daily-wear clasp, but the sharp case edges and lume inconsistencies are genuine comfort and leg
