Steinhart Ocean 39 GMT Premium 500

Description: This beautiful watch has been used very little and it was done carefully so shows light marks to the case and bracelet, I've tried to show these in the pics. The crystal is unmarked. Purchased August 2021. Comes with 3 spare links - I added one to the bracelet after taking the picture - Steinhart box and booklet. Keeps very good time, as you can see this is a classy, good looking watch. Please study pictures, item specifics very carefully before you buy as they all form a key part of the overall description. The watch has not been worn much at all, so the ETA 2893-2/SW 330 movement is basically as new. UK shipping is via Royal Mail Special Delivery. International shipping is via Ebays Global Shipping Programme, for buyers outside the UK this means any import taxes or duties due are paid by you, in advance, when you purchase the watch.

This is the review posted in Zaltek Reviews: Specifications Dimensions: Diameter 39.1mm, Thickness 13.2mm, Lug to Lug 47.2mm, Lug Width 20mm Movement: Swiss Sellita SW330-1 labor, Automatic, 28,800vph, Hackable, Self Winding, 42hr Power Reserve Case Material: Brushed 316L Stainless Steel with Polished Sides Bracelet: 316L Stainless Steel, Solid Links & End-Links, Screw Pins, Milled Clasp Crystal: Domed Sapphire, Underside Anti-Reflective Coating Bezel: Polished 120 Click Unidirectional, 24hr GMT Batman Ceramic Insert, Fully Lumed Water Resistance: 500m / 50ATM / 1640ft Lume: Swiss Super Luminova BGW9 Crown: Signed, Screw Down Caseback: Exhibition Display, Screw Down, Sapphire Crystal Weight: 147g Case & Crown The case of the Ocean 39 GMT has a diameter of 39.1mm. The lug to lug is 47.2mm and the overall thickness, including the domed sapphire crystal, I measured in at 13.2mm. The entire case, caseback surround, bezel, crown and bracelet are all 316L stainless steel. The finish of the case is mostly brushed but with polished sides and a polished bezel. The actual design of the case if rather flat with no curvature to the lugs, but given the overall lenth it still wears very well on wrist. The Ocean 39 GMT has a water resistance rating of a rather impressive 500m, thanks to the screw down caseback & crown. The actual proportions of the watch, are superb for my average 7 wrist, due to the lug to lug distance of just 47mm. For me, the Steinhart does wear extremely well, wearing more like a standard 40mm diver in my opinion. The signed crown is fantastic and looks great. There is no wobble whatsoever either when the crown is in use and you can also feel a very nice little pop as you unscrew it. Youll also see and feel the amount of work that has gone into the crown, making it feel very premium whilst in use. The caseback has an exhibition display with sapphire crystal, that shows off that rather sexy Sellita labor grade movement. | Bracelet / Strap The bracelet thats fitted to the Ocean 39 GMT is beautifully made and there isnt anything that I can really fault it on. It has everything youd want in a premium bracelet. Its very nicely manufactured with no rattles to be found anywhere. It has solid links throughout, screw pins for adjusting and re-sizing and a perfectly signed, milled clasp with 4 micro-adjustment holes. The end links are also of the female variety, meaning the bracelet articulates and doesnt extented the lug to lug in any way shape or form. The bracelet also tapers from 20mm down to 16mm just before the clasp. Movement & Accuracy The chosen movement for the Ocean 39 is the Swiss made Sellita SW330-1 labor grade. A fantastic GMT calibre that is a 28,800vph, 4Hz, smooth sweep, 25 jewel automatic movement with self winding, hacking and a very respectable 42 hour power reserve. As you can see in the pics, there is an absolute ton of detail applied to the movement including perlage orperlefinishing, blued screws and that unmistakeable gold Steinhart rotor. Checking the accuracy after running the Ocean 39 for approximately 2 weeks, mainly on my wrist and occassionally in my watch winder, I was extremely happy with the results, with the Steinhart Ocean 39 GMT showing an average of just +2.3 seconds per day. Dial, Bezel & Hands The Steinhart Ocean 39 GMT Premium 500 (to give its full name) has a 120 click unidirectional bezel with a fully lumed 24hr GMT Batman polished ceramic insert. It is of outstanding quality with everything lining up perfectly, just as it should. The bezel action is excellent, smooth with zero backplay. The text on the dial thats printed are the words OCEAN, THIRTY-NINE, GMT as well as the depth rating of 500m. At either side of the date window at 6, are the words SWISS MADE. The Steinhart logo itself is also printed, situated at just under the 12 oclock position. Very clean & legible! The hour markers at the 3 & 9 oclock positions are of a baton style, while the marker at 12 is of a slightly larger triangular shape. The rest of the hour markers are of the more traditional circular shape. All of the hour markers are pumped full of lume. The minute track thats printed onto the sloped chapter ring, has also been done very well with nothing extra added that would just make it look cluttered. The hour and minute hands also have a shit ton of lume. As you can see in the images, the hour and minute hands are very nicely done with theirproportionateand very legible design. The seconds hand is great too, that is entirely lumed and reaches right out to the minute track on the chapter ring when sweeping around the dial. There is also a borderless date window at the 6 oclock position too, which looks fantastic and although it is not colour-matched to the dial, it does match with the rest of the white accents. Lume The lume on the Ocean 39 GMT is absolutely superb! It is very bright and even although it does fade, it still lasts right throughout the night. The actual lume thats been applied to the Ocean 39, is Swiss Super Luminova BGW9 and its been applied 100% perfectly! The Steinharts lume is definately up there with the best Ive seen. You wont be disappointed! Conclusion This is my first experience of Steinhart and it just so happens its a watch that Ive bought with my own hard earned cash. So, will I keep the Steinhart? Hell yeah! I was actually really surprised by how much I love this watch, and that iswell afterthe initial honeymoon period. At the asking price of around 600, I think the Ocean 39 GMT is a bit of a bargain considering what youre actually getting in return. It is a beautiful timepiece with outstanding fit & finish. Im a happy man! Will I buy another Steinhart? Definately! Steinhart-> Totally nailed it! A superb timepiece at a bargain price. Very highly recommended
