I just wanted to point out some of the key differences between these great Ocean 1's from Steinhart!

I have an Ocean One in 39 mm with the (new) green ceramic bezel, and an Ocean One GMT Classic in 42 mm with the blue/black ceramic bezel. I find the bezel action on the 39 mm much stiffer (and harder to grip with the smaller diameter) as compared to the 42 mm. Winding action on the GMT with the Sellita 330-2 is also much smoother.

Very good rundown- thanks. I'm considering both- the 39mm Ocean One is the best conventional choice. Yet the Vintage gives a guy a larger size and different look.

42mm Ocean One Vintage is a very special piece. Considered flipping because of my 6.75 wrist. However, I just can’t part with it- love everything about it, except the larger size (printed, gilt, Old Radium, Explorer dial, drilled lugs, chamfered lugs..beautiful!) I’m running mine on a 20mm single pass nato, on “fixed looking” springbars - A REAL SHOW STOPPER!!

@jeromef2001 4 жыл бұрын

Willard Hooton Totally agree! Such a piece of art. But what do you think of the other Explorer dial in 39 mm? It even looks better don’t you agree ?

@willardhooton920 4 жыл бұрын

jerome F I love the Ocean 39 Explorer! - it my cause me to sell the O1V when it’s time to thin the collection down... in fact, if I could only keep one watch it would probably be the Ocean 39 Explorer 👌

@jeromef2001 4 жыл бұрын

Willard Hooton Agreed. The ocean 39 explorer is the best. Because of its size, and because of its design...I wish they could make a red vintage 39 as well...

@jeromef2001 4 жыл бұрын

Willard Hooton Do you like the OVM too? Hard to chose between all these great watches ..

@willardhooton920 4 жыл бұрын

jerome F I do like the OVM! I have the “unpopular” version 2 (tropic dial) on a one piece espresso brown Italian leather strap- looks the business 👌. Also sporting the latest 39 Vintage GMT Premium on the jubilee, which is awesome, but if I had to go with one of the four it would have to be the Ocean 39 Explorer!!! (Still on its original Oyster bracelet) - it has it all with the 39mm size, gilt dial and hands, Old Radium 3 6 9 dial, with drilled lugs.... would probably sell my entire collection and keep only that piece!!!

@edwardkollar448 4 жыл бұрын

I ordered the Ocean One Vintage a couple of days ago and am waiting for it to arrive. I went back and forth between the 2 you have here but the ‘no date’ and vintage look won out, plus I like the drilled lugs for ease in maybe throwing a Nato or leather strap on it.

The Ocean One Vintage came and I am very happy with it. I am also pleasantly surprised by the accuracy; over more than a 2 day period it is running 5 seconds ahead total.

There is an updated Steinhart Ocean One 39 ceramic with an engraved ceramic bezel filled with white enamel. Uploaded it on my channel. So much sharper and much more easier to read the bezel.

have the engraved bezel on two Steinharts. Much easier to read than the older versions because the reduced reflectance.

I have the Ocean 1 Vintage & it is GORRRRR GEEE USSSSS!!! The'39 is an Ordinary Rolex Sub look alike & homages of contemporary Subbies just don't make it. I love that big crown, Gilt Explorer Dial, which is SOOOO Legible. Yes! It's A Big Fat Watch, But - because it has no Crown-Guards it wears more like a 40mm. A Tip - if you turn the bracelet back-To-front, it is much more Comfy. Akso, didju know you can use A Unidirectional Elapsed-Time Bezel as A Calendar Ring?

@rayquintanilla614 4 жыл бұрын

I’d have to give the nod to the vintage version. It just seems more set apart from the sub homages.

Thanks for the comparison ... even though I'm just as uncertain as before when it comes to which I want to buy ... :D Thing is that the vintage (IMO) is a little less "problematic" since it mimics a design that's been out of production for decades. So as much as I would love to have a ceramic bezel, it would have to be either this Vintage or the other "Vintage Red" model they offer. Good thing that the only Steinhart-dealer in my country is only 40 km away, so I might be able to try both on first. I'm not too sure if I could pull off either of the two larger models on my 6.75 inch wrist ....

1SaG You have 3 vintage models in 39. The ovm and the explorer 39. Both fantastic and nicer than this explorer dial 42 to my opinion . What do you think ?

@1SaG 4 жыл бұрын

@@jeromef2001 AFAIK you can only get the Vintage models from Gnomon. I am German and have a Steinhart-dealer near where I live. So buying from Singapore and having to pay import tax on the watch would be a bit weird and too costly. I will ask the dealer if he can get me one of the 39 Vintages from Steinhart... but I have my doubts, because those smaller Vintages are "Gnomon only". Oh well ... :)

@@jeromef2001 Called the dealer yesterday and he confirmed that you can't get the Gnomon-only models from him or from Steinhart directly. Which makes sense I guess, because it would ruin Gnomon's exclusive distribution of those models.

Hi guys! What do you think of the vintage 39 with explorer dial?? It looks even better that this vintage 42 explorer dial... There look different but there are both amazing! Personally I go for the vintages Steinhart, there all look awesome! Especially the 39 mn ones... Explorer Dial and OVM! Killers. The vintage red is also fantastic but unfortunately only 42 mm are available. So much to chose anyways.. The OVM, the vintage military 39 is also marvelous!! Please help me, I am totally confuse now... It s too hard to make a choice... I think my favorite is the red one but since it exists only in 42 I will probably buy the OVM or the Explorer 39. Do you know guys if Steinhart is going to make a red one in 39 mm soon?? That would be awesome! Thanks

I don't think the "elabore" ETA is the top grade its the 2nd of 4 grades, I think the "Chronometre" grade is the top.

How are both of these keeping time, my new Steinhart OVM is running 26 seconds fast, I have watches with NH35A movements that keep better time.

@Wolf_K 4 жыл бұрын

My ocean one vintage is around -2.5/5 seconds a day. I’d rather it gain than lose but overall it’s very good and a great watch. A cheap degausser costs around $7 shipped from China and does the job perfectly. This is how to use it. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qs94d9aj07-cY30.html Many incorrect videos on KZfaq about how to do it.

Elabore grade is not the top grade, the top grade is called "top" infact. Elabore is the middle grade. Premium as Steinhart adds, is refering to their decorated rotor.
