Steinhart Ocean 39 GMT Black/Red Ceramic 2 |
The bezel on the Ocean 39 GMT is a classic diver design. The Ocean One 39 GMT Black/Red has a new upgraded black/red bezel done in ceramic which is commonly know by watch collectors as the "coke". The new ceramic bezel has numbers and markers that are all engraved to give it depth. The cavities are then filled in white enamel to match the theme with a luminous pip at the 12 o'clock position. The engraved bezel makes the numbers and markers visible under all lighting conditions. With a luminous pip at the 12 o'clock position. The knurling on the side of the bezel is deep and clean. This helps in getting a good grip on the bezel for easy bezel operation. The 120 clicks bezel clicks positively into position.
Two-tone Ceramic Bezel |
Overall, the Steinhart Ocean One 39 GMT Black/Red Ceramic exhibits very great value. And is suitable for those who thinks the 42mm Oceans are too big. The smaller size also makes this watch comfortable even on smaller ladies' wrist. For the price, you get a Swiss Made watch with an SW330-2 Elaboré movement, a full 316L stainless steel 300m diver watch with jubilee bracelet and an overall well finished sturdy watch. This was before not achievable until Steinhart arrived and also probably the reason why Steinhart has quite a huge following although only been around for only 15 years.
