I owned one years ago and regret selling it. I was offered a Black Dial in January and posted here for recommendations. I ended up holding out for the much more desirable white dial. I was extremely lucky to find one. And at a reasonable price. I could…
Continue readingDO NOT buy an Ocean One…it distorts your watch reality!
So about a year ago, after my recent divorce, since I didn’t have a wife around to buy me a nice Christmas present, I decided to buy my first automatic watch- a Steinhart Ocean One black with ceramic bezel. When I got the watch, I was amazed at how nice it looked. Everything about the watch oozed quality. Mine ran pretty well right out of the box, but I’m a DIYer and tinkerer, so I ended up removing the case back a few times to tweak the regulating screw and got it to running within 1 second…
Continue readingThoughts on buying this Steinhart Ocean One Chronograph Daytona style
Some years ago I owned the white (cream) dial with black sub-dials Panda model. Undoubtedly the more desirable one, but they seem quite rare to find these days. I already own many much more expensive watches and need it like a hole in the head. However…
Continue readingI’m having an issue with my OVM bracelet.
First, I love my OVM. I also love the bracelet–I haven’t had an oyster bracelet in years and I can’t believe how comfortable this one is.
Continue readingThat being said, I lost one of the threaded pins a month or so ago, and needed to order a replacement from Steinhart (no issues, 2 replacements arrived without trouble for an acceptable price.)
A couple weeks ago the watch fell off again, but I was lucky enough to find the pin in my jacket pocket, so I put it back together and wore it again, but…
Steinhart Ocean One Vintage (Type I) Chronograph Black
I have the chance to purchase one of these.
Can anyone tell me the differences with the current model (type II) ?
the movements of the Type I seems to be a ETA2824-2 Top grade + DD2020 module how does that fare against the LJ7772 Top Premium?
What a…

After registering a couple a years ago on three Rolex AD funny waitlists for a Batman GMT and a steel/rose GMT II and a Yachtmaster and after funny Rolex AD stories I became a huge Steinhart fan. First as kind of a protest then for life…

I’ve been thinking of starting a Steinhart “Ocean Owners Club” for a while, and before I write Gunter, I thought I should see if there is any interest here. I would get the case-back graphics and make up something similar to the “Bluering Owners Club” that anyone could add to their signature if they wanted to. It’s as simple as that; no dues to pay, no mandatory meetings, just big Smiles and High Fives.
Any takers?

which strap (or bracelet) for a Steinhart Ocean One Vintage Chronograph Black
This watch is clearly an homage to the Paul Newman’s Daytona I that is absolutely clear!
Continue readingPaul Newman had several and he wore them with both bracelets and straps but more often than not he used a ” Bund” strap .
Do you think this is the most appropriate combination for a watch like this? The bracelet is certainly very goo but is this watch more ” elegant” with leather?

Ocean one 42mm VINTAGE, my latest acquisition
I have been looking for a ” vintage” look diver for some time , I came across many candidates like Seiko presage vintage 60 style, Oris sixty-five, Rado Captain Cook and so on . On account of price or size (I definitely wanted to have something in the 40 to 42 range) I didn’t buy any of those (I was also briefly considering some Chinese hommages too like the Pagani version of this).

New to the forum, been lurking for a while but joined today specifically because this happened and I wanted opinions. After buying all of my watches used over a year or two, I finally pulled the trigger on a new one. An ocean one ceramic 42 direct from…
