New Watch Day - Steinhart GMT Ocean One 39mm Red/Blue

[OrangeSport]

Been looking at these for a long time now, but was unsure about the whole "homage thing" and how I would feel wearing one. But I do like them, want a GMT and want a watch for work and holidays. So I went for it.

Got the 39mm as it's a good size and the 20mm strap width is a bonus.

First impressions are generally good, but very good for the price.

It's well finished and nice and hefty. The bracelet is very nice indeed with solid end links and a secure clasp. But I bought this to wear on NATO straps and my daughter bought me a new canvas strap to go with it (great choice for a 12 year old).

The bezel moves nicely with solid clicks and lines up well. The GMT hand lines up well too. On some reviews I read on older models neither of these always did so. It is pleasant to wind, but setting the time and date are not on par with the feel of a more expensive watch.

The lume seems strong and bright and the case back is nicely decorated.

I've only had it a couple of hours so far, so that's it for now.

Enjoy the pictures!

Very nice! This is one that was high on my list before I joined the dark side and bought an Apple Watch

Refreshing size at 39mm - my personal sweet spot.

Putting it on a NATO actually makes it wear quite a bit smaller than on the bracelet, but yes it us a good size (also available in 42mm)

[Seriously]

I would never have guessed it was a nice 39mm from those photos

Steinhart make some solid watches , I've had a couple **. a few years ago I fancied either Apollon but never got round to it.

** In fact I've still got a JG74

Luv this picture! the watch look so great on your Wrist! and 39mm is a good size..




i've been eyeing Gnomon exclusive Steinhart Ocean Vintage in 39mm.. but its is not easy to get one...
Steinhart 39mm selections are really COOL..

That is nice, but how does it vary from the model offered on Steinhart’s own site?

I don't want to get in trouble with 6 digit owners but the Steinhart lugs and end link arrangement is nice, borderline nicer than the OG. Good pickup that rounds out the collection in your sig nicely. It's a bit of a relief not to have too much to worry about on your wrist.

[is that my watch]

well they must be old pics as the ocean one had vintage lume for a short run then it became a white lume from memory.


this is my one from a few years back when I bought it also now the dial writings can be had in various colours
