Sensational Steinhart - OVM 39 My first Automatic 

Swiss made

Thanks

Still one of my favourite watches

@@LastWatch Yep, I love this watch! Although I got the 42mm diameter size, maybe I should have gone for the smaller 39mm one. The only reason I got mine was that it was on sale for less than $400 USD.

Hi & Thanks for the feedback, I’m still learning my trade and trying to get hands on. I have another review of a Glycine coming soon which has the same ETA movement as the OVM but hasn’t been finished to the same standard. I should also add that I spoke to Gnomon watches and they suggested another round of OVM 39s possibly in May, hope that helps

Jon Cundall thanks for letting me know

I may have to add a phoibos to the collection, theres a rumor they share some build specs with Steinhart

I was so tempted to buy that watch but its so similar to this I'd be doubling up

Bob Shore Yes, I’ve already been corrected on the location of Gnomon. It was early days in my channel and watch collecting, I contacted gnomon about the OVM availability and with the sales being predominantly in the states and in dollars assumed they had 2 locations, one stateside the other Singapore

Steve Warren Why choose when you can have 2 favourites, you’re a lucky man. How do you divide the wrist time

I have the 39 mm Pepsi on the bracelet, an excellent bracelet too BTW, and the 39 mm OVM on a blue NATO strap similar to the original MIL-SUB. So one is slightly more formal than the other. Lately, I've been wearing the Pepsi the most. My other Steinharts, a Ceramic GMT 42 mm and a PVD Ocean Forty-Four haven't been getting much wrist time.

Steve Warren you clearly like your Steinharts but hey you get a lot of watch for the money

I hope its an inexpensive quick fix

Last Watch so do i this last 6 months I spent a small fortune, I had saved up 6k to buy a non date sub, no luck, I had my eye on a Tudor pelagos for a cpl off years the AD had 3 in stock the normal in black and blue and a LHD version, I got that with a 2 hundred discount. I then got Hamilton khaki 38 auto which I put back into the dealer this week it has an issue with the rotor. I have an IWC mark 16 I’ve just had serviced at a cost off 440. I got 2 timex models a 34mm marlin & the Q timex and I’ve just got a Christopher ward trident diver and now the Steinhart playing up, but I do love the look and feel off it. I have a few other watches omega one is 76 years old I’ve had it for 46 years never been serviced fab time keeper I have a speedy 22 years never serviced runs at plus 1 min a day

TIMEFORFUN I do, it’s a great watch

I would highly recommend the OVM, Steinhart quality excels in this price range

Wu-Blood Kin Many thanks, hope you enjoy it as much as I do

Bugster987 Thanks Bugster, I got the same info about May production but was lucky enough to find this OVM in the interim. How are you finding the accuracy on your copy.

Still one of my Faves

So called limited run

Yes, I update the Gnomon info in a later video

Singapore not Hong Kong

Michael Sable Yep, this was corrected in a later video

For THREE days

Have you considered sending to Steinhart for repair

TIMEFORFUN sounds like you need to treat yourself to a new Steiny

Try a Ginault

george george A homage of a Homage, what’s the reference of your watch ?

???? Chinese quartz homage of Steinhart Ocean One??? Please elaborate.

Steinhart make great watches, be sure to watch my 'One watch collection" video

Last Watch just watched it, always a difficult decision .

Thanks, this was one of my early reviews, I have learnt a lot since then but this is still my favorite watch

Luke Jennings this comment has only just appeared in my notifications, I paid around £400 for the exclusivity of the 39mm, they obviously had to show it was a numbered addition but I guess they could have made it more subtle on an original case back

The OVM has an ETA 2824-2 movement, it does have a ghost position

@@LastWatch damn, i heard they make them now most of them if not all with selita sw200 and i know its same mvmnt but with +1 jewel more, do u know if this sw200 again have ghost position?

I was lucky enough to snag this one on Ebay from someone that prefered the original 42mm, it was pretty much unworn. I would suggest you keep an eye on Gnomon for a possible future re-release

pdg61met I can’t really talk about watches that I’ve not had hands on but it seems fairly clear that those watches have different dials, hand sets & bezels. Should add that both the regular vintage models are 42mm, my OVM is a limited run of 39mm, hope this helps

This was an early review, long since corrected, I think it was the dollars that caught me out

Christopher Michael Ah, we appear to have similar tastes, I seem to prefer the Tudors compared to Rolex. I just missed out on the original run of the OVM 39s but was lucky enough to snag one new on eBay, I had already registered with Gnomon waiting for the next batch, I got an email from them to notify me of the new release and they had already sold out by the time I checked the website, try really did go like hot cakes. I noticed also that they are selling at a profit now on eBay, I would never sell mine but it’s good to know I won’t lose money on it if I ever need to

Motor City Cobra It really is a gorgeous watch for the money, I hope you enjoy yours as much as I do mine

David Watson glad you appreciate the video, my channel is all about the watch hence no pix of me or my name but it’s early days and that may change

Gary K I have a 7” wrist and wear watches between 38-45mm, given your wrist size you could wear both versions of this watch either the 39 or 42mm, it’s just personal preference. The guy I bought the 39 off thought it was to small for his wrist and opted for the 42, I ended up with the perfect watch

@@LastWatch Yeah, I must admit, I prefer the finish with the high-polish bezel grip on this version. Plus, I prefer watches around 40mm case diameter and usually lug height around 47-48mm... So I might buy this version instead, even though its a bit more money.

You are 100% correct, it was early days for me and I assumed the Dollars represented the U.S

Yes you are correct, this is something I have acknowledged since. Feel free to check out my latest video 'The one watch collection'

Nils Magwalt They have truly grown up

alain7398 Or even a Blue Ray

Joke. I like Your watche, is top!

Not at the price point

@@LastWatch Don't know what to say about that cuz I have bought mine directly from Germany at the steinhardt store I think I paid a few years ago about almost 400 US dollars

John Carter Maybe one day I’ll get to compare them side by side

Indisputably true when considering price differential!

You need eyes every where to grab them before they are gone

ian jimmy Steinhart all day long but it’s all down to personal taste, the Orient is a great watch for the price, I’ve considered the blue many times

@@LastWatch ok thanks man

I just got the RAY 2 and I love it. :) How much is this Steinhart now?

@@michaelsin around 500 usd I think

I have the Orient Mako USA II. Great watch but the Steinhart OVM blows it away when it comes to luxury quality and feel in hand.

All shitters

Yes there is such a thing as plus/minus seconds per day. We are talking mechanical watches which are not as accurate as quartz watches, of which none are known to keep time to 2 secs per year. The most accurate quartz watches with temperature compensation are generally accurate to within 10 seconds per year a figure not found in an Armani watch which uses cheap Miyota movements accurate to around +/- 15 seconds per month. Even a new Rolex watch will be accurate to +/- 2 seconds per day. Steinhart watches once used an ETA 2824-2 Elabore movement which is accurate to +/- 7 seconds per day up to +/- 20 seconds per day. Today they use a cloned version made by Sellita called, I believe an SW 200. It must be pointed out that a reading on a timegrapher does not reflect real world figures as the watch is constantly changing positions when worn.
