Review of one of the best bang per buck divers in the sub 500 dollar category. This Steinhart Ocean One 39 Ceramic has awesome specs for the money. ETA/Sellita movement, AR coated sapphire, 300m water resistant, great solid link bracelet with screwed links and milled clasp. The size is smaller than the "role-model" Rolex Submariner which makes it great for smaller wrists like mine! The 47mm lug to lug makes it a great fit for a sub 7 inch wrist. Simple and monochrome dial makes it a strap monster and it's hard to find a strap that won't look good on this watch! In the end I show you the Steinhart on a variety of straps.

I own both Rolex and Steinhart watches. I have to say that I like the 39mm Steinhart case better when it comes to design and feel on my wrist.

@NordicWatchChannel Год назад

Smaller cases are often more comfortable and subtle :) Cool to hear that!

@denniscohle3786 Год назад

I owned a 16610 and a ocean 39 in the past and I must say that the ocean case is very nice indeed and the bracelet is nice too.

@patricj951 2 года назад

Good to see you here again! Since a few months I have the 39mm ocean one blue ceramic. The finish is excellent and Steinhart is very high quality. I consider to get even the black model in this video, or the green/black version.

@patricj951 2 года назад

Actually 39mm is a bit small for my taste. I would like 42mm but chose 39mm because of the straight lugs of Steinhart. The 42mm version has ca 50mm l2l and it may be too much for my 17cm/6,7 inch wrist.

@NordicWatchChannel 2 года назад

Good to se you here too! Congrats on the satisfied purchase! I think the 39mm just looks so much better peoportioned than the 42mm. But I have a preference for small watches in general😁

@MrHighflyingclive 10 месяцев назад

i bought the ceramic bezel ocean1 gmt prior to a 3-month back-packing holiday in the far east. i wanted a tough gmt watch with excellent water resistance and this ticked all the boxes. whilst travelling, i wore it on a nato strap but once home i fitted a black stingray strap, which really suits the watch

Nice review. Yesterday, I bought one of these, used. My only complaint is the lume is very weak. I love the overall look and I am very satisfied with the quality of the finishing and the movement. The seller provided me with a nice, no-name rubber strap with a decent deployant clasp. I will likely soon be switching to the rubber.

@NordicWatchChannel 2 года назад

Thank you. Nice! I agree with you on those points. Lume is a little bit lackluster but it’s allright. Seiko and Orient do a better job with lume for sure. Otherwise really nice quality!

@vaclav_fejt 2 года назад

Interesting. I recently bought a Vostok K-35 (my most expensive watch yet) which has the strongest lume I've ever seen...but it fades quickly. I'm planning to save up and buy a daily wearer below 500$...torn between a simple field watch like Boldr Venture, or some submariner style diver, maybe a Seiko, maybe something else. Double green, double glazed Steinhart was in consideration, but if the lume is not much better than on a four times cheaper Vostok, I'll keep looking...the Boldr reportedly isn't stellar in the lume department either, but it has a lot of other stuff going for it, like elegance and lightness.

I just bought an almost 2 year old one off a work colleague, I love it. My 15 watch collection includes Seiko, Orient, 2 Casio Marlins, 3 Invictas (1953, Pro Diver and a Swiss made green dial quartz with a white pointer dial motif and sapphire crystal with cyclops) and 2 G Shocks. And my 2 favourite quartz divers; the Citizen BN150 and 190 models. This watch kicks them all out of the park! 3 days in it is way more accurate than any of the automatics listed above. I will never part with this watch. I don't want a Rolex. This watch is all I will ever need. I could go on for hours but there is beer to drink while I admire this watch. If you can get one, jump on it!

I have this same watch model and I really like it. It's a solid Diver but at the same time sort of discreet since it's not super big or bulky. The lume could be better and a slim buckle with some kind of diver's extension would be a great improvement, but again it's already very good like that!

I’m afraid I’m not familiar with the Davosa at all. Based on pictures and brand recognition, I would personally go with the Steinhart :)

@Dochorahan 2 года назад

I’ve had 3 Steinharts. I’m not understanding the lume complaint. The BGW9 lume is always not going to as bright as green lume. Different wavelength performance. Also, the overall initial brightness of lume is not the best indication of how legible it will be for 6-8-10 hours into the night. I rather have a dim lume that will last all night, than a bright lume that will completely fade away in an hour

@NordicWatchChannel 2 года назад

That’s true! Do you mean that bgw9 glows longer that lumibrite? I have found the opposite to be true in my experience. I’m fine with bgw9 and lume is not super important to me. I like the blue color more than the green, but in my reviews I just state the fact that it is not as bright as lumibrite for example. There are always viewers who don’t know and want to find out 😊

@lenjames 2 года назад

Looks like the lumed triangle on your bezel shows the same behavior as the one on my 39mm Ocean Green. Meaning it's turned slightly yellow. I bought mine brand new about two years ago and I'm very sure it wasn't that color when I bought it. From what I hear, Steinhart will replace these "patina-ed" inserts, but I haven't contacted them yet.

@obiyahu8889 6 месяцев назад

I felt that way years ago; about 10 + years back and thats what kept me from pulling the trigger at first. But I finally did pull that trigger in April of 2021 and purchased a 42mm Ocean One Black Ceramic. The style has grown on me, I love it and she serves me well at a COSC +6 a day. Some days it won't gain any time ❤

@obiyahu8889 6 месяцев назад

The case shape of the Ocean One is very distinguishing from most other homages this it is not a 1:1 of an actual Submariner. I really don't understand why Steinhart gets so much Grief from the naysayers.

@TheGrenadier97 2 года назад

"Controversies" aside, this one and Invicta's makes a more pragmatic mind think: why does Rolex Submariner costs so much for the same basic design and certain capabilities? It's easy to note that for the "original" there's far more than just a superior movement and proprietary materials.

@NordicWatchChannel 2 года назад

Yeah well this one does that even more than the Invicta. Probably huge overhead costs at Rolex. Swiss labor costs a lot and everything is made is Switzerland etc. And there is undoubtedly a premium you pay just for the brand ofcourse, but there’s more to it than that!

The Steinhart is obviously going to be superior in every way and it sure is! But if you just want a cheaper homage and not this kind of legit quality homage then someone might go for the Invicta before this :)

@NA-ij5jy 2 года назад

@@NordicWatchChannel I literally just became curious about steinhart. Don’t know why. I always had Seiko and became very disappointed lately with its pricing and drop on quality. So sadly had to find a replacement and got Orient and slowly tried to accept it. If I look at a 200 meters Seiko it will be over $800. If I had that kind of money for a watch I would buy a Swiss one, like maybe a Tag Heuer. I thought maybe I should start exploring the Swiss made for first time. Tissot seemed to be at Seiko level and financially reachable.

@NordicWatchChannel 2 года назад

Well there are many 200M Seikos for less than 500 but I still agree that their value for money offering has been declining.. 800 is a tricky category! Sure there are Swatch Group brands like Tissot and Certina offerings. I might recommend checking out Sinn, Yema, Squale, Hamilton (also Swatch) Group) for less generic options maybe. Especially if you’re open to consider second hand options, it becomes a very interesting price-category!

Ginault is clean and the finish is very very impressive even under the loop. You can get better magnification with most micro brand cyclops and even with the knock off replicas than this Steinhart. The clasp is dime a dozen with zero effort. Off the shelf with a logo slapped on. I’m just saying, they need to improve these shortcomings. I gave away the Steinhart and still have the Ginault. You don’t have to accept my opinion. These are the facts in terms of built quality. Both Ginault and Steinhart lack originality. But one is 10x better than the other. Hope you enjoy what you like in good health my friend. No reason to get overprotective over a brand. Steinhart was very popular 6-7 years ago.
