emtp101 0 Posted August 21, 2015 I have been wanting the Ocean One Vintage Red, great looking watch, I came across two sights to purchase gnomonwatches.com and chrono24.com, has anybody ordered from these two sights. I have been looking for one here in the U.S. but so far just these two sights and ebay. Never considered using a retailer. Chronomaster are the UK distributors for Steinhart, but their current price for an OVM in £ corresponds to 30 euros more than Steinhart charge for direct purchase. The GMT Ocean 1Black Ceramic, is 60 euros more. I found it on gnomonwatches.com for $460 free shipping but wanted to know if anyone has ordered from there before.

markcwl1984 0 Posted January 26, 2017 I have a Steinhart Ocean 1 Black and it's solid enough that I could use it as a knuckle-duster. I ordered direct from Steinhart and their customer service has been fantastic in my experience. The watch keeps great time and finishing is excellent. Highly recommended!

pthurst 1 Posted February 6, 2017 Just received my Steinhart OVM (homage to the ultra-rare Rolex Milsub 5513/17). As per usual I watched pretty much every youtube video I could before making my decision, and as per usual, I've made a video of my own too... Hope it helps! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TigersFan 0 Posted February 24, 2017 (edited) The Certina DS Action Diver can be had for a bit more than the Steinhart. It is not an exact submariner homage but it is a great dressy diver with true Swiss heritage. Edited February 24, 2017 by TigersFan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hinclimincli 17 Posted April 4, 2017 I bought an Ocean One Black about a year ago and I can say it's a really good watch. Some thoughts: 1. It's 42mm, so slightly bigger than a normal Submariner. It's a downside for me as I have small wrists, but it might be something good for people that like big watches. Interestingly enough, it doesn't look tremendously big in your wrist because the dial/bezel ratio. 2. It's Swiss Made and sports a genuine Swiss ETA 2836-2, a calibre very well known for being a workhorse, durable and reliable. 3. Comes with all the trimmings, screwed down crown, (real) water-proof to 300m, etc. 4. It's sturdy. Feels sturdy. It weights a ton. A TON. It's something I really like, actually.

SCFX4L 0 Posted May 23, 2017 I love my Ocean GMT ceramic, it keeps time well, really sports the GMT master II look well and feels great on the wrist. My only negative would be that the case is fairly flat, doesn't curve to the wrist which is generally fine for my larger wrist but smaller wrists may look funny with it. And I also wish i could find a carved bezel instead of the painted ceramic as it can be hard to read in certain light. All in all I'm a fan. I can post pictures if anyone needs help with a decision!

DavidAMcC 1 Posted January 31, 2018 (edited) I haven't owned a Steinhart diver, but I do have a Steinhart "Flieger Buhr Type A" in bronze that I wear as my daily beater. I have only had this about 6 months, but it seems well made and the Unitas movement is very accurate. I think I probably only adjust it approximately once a month. Granted, I am not someone who becomes vexed if my watch is not in perfect step with the Speaking Clock (that will probably only mean something to people of a certain age here in the UK let alone anywhere else). The soft focus of the wrist shot is no creative flare on my part. I think I had managed to smear some breakfast on the lens of my mobile!

jdinaz 0 Posted October 13, 2018 I've been very impressed with the build quality for the price and extremely impressed with the resale value. On the bay the Pepsi gmt sells for the same price as buying direct for watches a few months old. Only real hit to the resale value is is it's a year old. Just ordered two 39 mm versions. I think the 42 is a bit too big for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Probably won't help you, but for anyone reading this... Ordering direct from steinhart is cheaper given the current euro exchange rate. Especially if ordering multiple items. The shipping is not bad.

MarcusHencke 0 Posted March 14, 2022 My business partner has owned two and there were no issues and he loves the retro diver look which looks loosely based on the Rolex MilSub. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jason123456 5 Posted July 23, 2022 Well built, lovely watches. If You are Ok with the homage/heavily inspired factor, very good choice. The only problem is the size. 42mm submariner style Steinharts are too big, but proportionally looking nice, the 39 mm versions are better in case size, but the dial is look like compressed, the proportions are little bit off.#42mm ovm and g shockOdoslané z SM-A505FN pomocou Tapatalku Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peter4103 40 Posted January 17, 2023 (edited) I have owned the Steinhart GMT black 42mm ceramic bezel. It’s a decent watch. Operation is good and GMT works (bear in mind that a GMT movement is a complex and sensitive movement.) In the 2 years I have had the watch I only used it for travel when going to different time zones. The watch feels like a quality watch. Weight is comparable to watches from the higher segment. After a year I did end up with an issue with the bezel (see picture above), when the numbers started to wear off. Don’t know why it happened. I’ve sent an email to Steinhart and could ship the watch back immediately (they paid for shipping.) After a week or two I received the watch back with a new bezel inlay and that one has been good for the remainder of the time I have had the watch. I was dumb enough to sell the watch a few months back and regret that sale (although the write off on this watch was only 50-ish euro in over 2 years -which was way less then what i needed to write off when selling my high end gen watches-). All in all I can recommend this brand to everyone! by the way, no clue why the text is a hyperlink….can one of the mode help out getting this back to normal? Thanks!

Redfire1066 10,947 Posted January 17, 2023 Steinhart been around now since 2001 . . .. I have found Steinhart well built and fininshed and easy to wear .. .. sold with a fair price point which like most watch brands is now steadily rising .. . .. .. . . I have had many ..... a lot ...... and still have a handful .. ... if you fancy a slightly different vibe to your Steinhart .... try Gnomon Watches Exlusive Special & Limited Editions . .. . or contact Guido direct at Aachen Boutique, https://www.d-horlogerie.de/ for exclusive variations not normally sold outside of Germany .. .. . or OLKO Boutique for their variations . .. . in addition Steinhart has also made variations exlusively for sale in the Hong Kong market which you may come across searching the Web.
