Maen – HUDSON 38 MK5 – M1.1.7
About the model
The Maen Hudson 38 MK5 is a mechanical diver's watch designed with an emphasis on compact dimensions, high water resistance, and modern construction. The fifth generation of the Hudson series features a redesigned case, an updated movement, and overall more balanced proportions suitable for both daily wear and genuine sports use.
The 38 mm diameter case is crafted from 316L stainless steel. The construction includes both a screw-down crown and a screw-down case back, allowing for a water resistance rating of 300 meters. The top is fitted with a unidirectional rotating dive bezel with a ceramic insert and a luminescent reference marker for timing underwater. The watch is equipped with a domed, box-style sapphire crystal with an internal anti-reflective coating.
The dial features a finely textured matte finish that reduces glare and enhances legibility. The applied hour indices and hands are filled with Super-LumiNova luminescent material, ensuring good visibility in low-light conditions. The dial layout corresponds to that of a professional diver's watch, prioritizing instant time readability, with a central seconds hand for monitoring the movement's operation.
Inside beats the Swiss La Joux-Perret G100 automatic movement. This is a mechanical caliber with automatic winding, a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour (4 Hz), and a power reserve of approximately 68 hours. The movement displays hours, minutes, and central seconds and is engineered for stable operation and extended autonomy when not being worn frequently.
The model comes on an FKM rubber strap, which is resistant to moisture, sweat, and temperature changes. The strap is suitable for sports and water activities and is finished with a steel buckle. Alternatively, a steel bracelet with fine-adjustment capability is available.
The Maen Hudson 38 MK5 represents a compact diver's watch with full-fledged technical specifications, a modern Swiss movement, and a balanced design that combines the functionality of a professional tool watch with a versatile, everyday character.

About the brand
MAEN Watches is an independent watch brand founded in 2017 by Dutch designers Jules van Helvoort and Sebastiaan Cortjaens. The idea originated in Stockholm, where they both lived and decided to create a brand combining Nordic restraint with a Dutch sense of design and detail.
MAEN focuses on modern mechanical watches inspired by the classic shapes of the 60s and 70s. Model series such as the Hudson, Skymaster, or Manhattan are based on historical archetypes, which the brand interprets in a contemporary way – with compact dimensions, precise craftsmanship, and Swiss movements.
Thanks to its clean design, direct-to-customer approach, and emphasis on quality, the brand has quickly ranked among the most interesting new European microbrand manufacturers.
