Very thorough review with excellent production. Hope to see more!
that is an absolutely gorgeous watch.
Beautiful watch! Ordered one by Gnomon Watch, which is based in Singapore, not USA. Best quality for that price!
Swiss made
Thanks
Very nice watch. May you enjoy it !!!
Last Watch Mine runs very well at approximately +3 spd. Excellent for this widely used movement. Ref the stopped/restarting issue you’re probably right about picking it up restarting it. I’ve noticed mine restarts with very little handling. Must be a very efficient winding mechanism.
Good choice, mate! I have many Steinhart watches, specially the 5517 (Rolex) homage, like yours .... I love it!
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.
wow. lovely watch. congratulations!
Amazing watch! Love it!
Great Review. I love that Steiny. Hopefully they'll do another run so I can fetch one. The 42 is probably too big for me.
It resembles the Rolex 5517 that was issued to the Royal Navy Divers (SAS/SBS) after the Omega Seamaster 300 was replaced.
I am not sure about the Precista PSR-82 but I think it is a homage to an actual issued watch by Precista from the early 80s by Timefactors who ones the name "Precista" since the early 2000s.
Your Steinhart is well within COSC specs with +/- 2s/d! Great catch.
Wear it in good health!
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
Just ordered one, great review...btw I’m your 8th subscriber!
Wu-Blood Kin Many thanks, hope you enjoy it as much as I do
I have the Steinhart GMT Ocean One and I am very pleased with it. My understanding is that Gnomon is from Singapore, not the US, that's who I ordered from. Very happy with my purchase. Nice video, the Military might be my next purchase.
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
I have looked and looked for steinhart vintage videos and never seem your come up in search. You may consider adding the Model to the Video Title. It will help your video come up in search when people look for reviews on the Vtg Steinhart. I really want the Red. But Got a deal on ebay for $300.00 for a ceramic 42mm model . It still has one year on the warranty. I just bought it on ebay two days ago and should have it by tomorrow or the 12th sept. I don't plan on keeping it. I figure in Nov I can make a little profit and then Buy the Vtg Red. Closest I can get to the Connery Bond Watch .
Maybe I will wait till January to get the Vintage Red. Thanks
I have the 39 mm OVM and 39 mm Pepsi GMT. They are BOTH my favorite watch!
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 have the OVM LE with the domed plexi crystal..and love the watch...I don’t wear it much cos I want to keep it minty mint..but really nice watch!
I was so tempted to buy that watch but its so similar to this I'd be doubling up
RE: Spare springbar it isn't a spare it is actually used to retain the fold over clasp in place.
Jon Cundall thanks for letting me know
I got the Phoibus 007 b the ceramic bezel without the Octopus logo. This watch run's great. I have had it from almost a month. And I set it upon receiving it to my computer time. It is still spot on. Great deal on this Phoibus used on ebay as well. I paid $125.00 box and book's included. It was missing the Lume Pip. Which I have since Replaced. Bought one for 10 dollars on ebay and used a small dab of epoxy.. Looks Great. And even better the original owner never used the Bracelet. And I to have not either. It came on a Nato . I have since added a Bond Nato.
I may have to add a phoibos to the collection, theres a rumor they share some build specs with Steinhart
Yours is No.271 and mine is 1271 :) Great watch, I love it!
So called limited run
Nice review. It’s a great watch. I got one around Christmas and it gets a great deal of wrist time. I see it’s expected back in stock at Gnomon in May 2018.
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.
I'm looking for a Smaller diver in the 38 to 39mm size. This one is on my list. Great review :)
I would highly recommend the OVM, Steinhart quality excels in this price range
Nice video, Nice watch., Thanks
Still one of my Faves
Steinhart is the best watch for the money. The bezel is the only real weakness . It could have better overall action and less play. Otherwise enjoy it
TIMEFORFUN I do, it’s a great watch
Look forward to more Video's.
Hi I got one off these from a Far East source new, good service and I love the look and feel, I have only worn it once for one week I have been keeping an eye on it and keeping it running excellent time keeper about plus 2 flat. However on Wednesday when I went to wind it and it felt very stiff and sounds like the rotor is slipping and is very difficult to screw crown back in though time keeping is ok. Rather than contact the supplier I took it in to a local repair shop this morning for an assessment and if the quote is reasonable will probably get them to fix it. I will take the hit on this. it’s a lot off hassle sending it back to the other side off the world.
I got it in late September this year.
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
Hi! Stunning watch! I’ve been planning on buying the 42mm version
Out of interest.. I am in the UK too, how much did the 39mm variant cost?
I’ve found a UK supplier of the 42mm for £345
Also, only a really slight issue.. as much as I like the 39, do you not think the case back would be better with the typical engraving?
Thanks man, great review !
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
Love my chinese quartz homage of steinhart ocean one.
george george A homage of a Homage, what’s the reference of your watch ?
???? Chinese quartz homage of Steinhart Ocean One??? Please elaborate.
I have a Steinhart Ocean Vintage Red, great watch.
Steinhart make great watches, be sure to watch my 'One watch collection" video
Last Watch just watched it, always a difficult decision .
I miss my Steinhart 42 mm ocean one. Should have never sold it.
TIMEFORFUN sounds like you need to treat yourself to a new Steiny
Try a Ginault
A friend ordered the OVM39 from Gnomon 2 years ago but felt it was two small for him. He did not wear it. I bought it, wound it properly initially and it kept perfect time for these days with continuous wear. On the 4th day it gained 3 minutes. then stopped altogether on the next day. All this with continuous active wear. This sequence was repeated several times. I don't like the idea of sending this very beautiful watch back to China for servicing, so it just sits in it's white box on my desk and I frown at it once in a while. I live in a small town where no jewelry shop has ever heard of a watch without a battery. I'll get it to the big city eventually. Not sure if it has an ETA 24/2 or a Selita movement. Oh well.
For THREE days
Have you considered sending to Steinhart for repair
7:29 Steinhart don't build watches themselves. They are made in Switzerland for Steinhart by a company called "Palladium" who are a well established watch manufacturer. If Steinharts weren't made in Switzerland, it would be illegal for them to have "Swiss Made" on the dial.
IIRC, the rules for "Swiss Made" are that the movement has to be a Swiss movement, the movement has to be cased in Switzerland and 60% of the cost of production of the watch have to be incurred in Switzerland.
9:50 The "extra pin" is a springbar with rounded ends .. it's there to snap into the holes in the safety-latch and thus hold it in place.
Thanks, this was one of my early reviews, I have learnt a lot since then but this is still my favorite watch
Thanks
Hi, thanks for the presentation. Did you buy it in Britain? If yes, where, from which seller?
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
By the way I believe Gnomon is in Honkong. Because I was reading forums on tariff's. And someone here in the US stated if you order from Gnomon yes you pay $100.00 hundred dollars more. But You get it quick and you don't get charged the $20 or $25 dollars in Tax. Which ordering direct from steinhart you do as fedex charges it.
Yes, I update the Gnomon info in a later video
Singapore not Hong Kong
Michael Sable Yep, this was corrected in a later video
Thats the best steinhart and batman 39mm imo. Can you tell me if it have "ghost position" on the crown when have no date? From the video when u open the crown it looks like it have 1 position but ill be glad to know it for sure.
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?
Go on mate, what's your TZUK name. :) Nice review, very helpful...
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
Is the only difference between the Red and Regular Vintage the red lettering and Mercedez hour hand?
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
Gnomon is based in Singapore, not USA.
This was an early review, long since corrected, I think it was the dollars that caught me out
What's your wrist size?
Which OVM do you recommend for 7.5 inch wrist? 39mm or 42mm?
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.
GNOMON is in Singapore mate.😁
Yes you are correct, this is something I have acknowledged since. Feel free to check out my latest video 'The one watch collection'
just bought this watch last when it resurfaced on the gnomon website. sold out in less than 24 hours. next up: Tudor Black bay 36
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
One of the very best Microbrands. However Steinhart has grown so much over the last few years so Steinhart isn't a Microbrand anymore .
Nils Magwalt They have truly grown up
Gnomon is from singapore. Not sure though.
You are 100% correct, it was early days for me and I assumed the Dollars represented the U.S
It;s a stunner but like the original owner it's too small for me .
You couldn't pick a better watch my opinion
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
A Steinhart Ocean is a Rolex Sub killer.
John Carter Maybe one day I’ll get to compare them side by side
Indisputably true when considering price differential!
Mako power!!
alain7398 Or even a Blue Ray
Joke. I like Your watche, is top!
Gnomon exclusive....... why? . Steinhart should sell this on their website . Steinhart really need a lesson in basic marketing . They produced a great new range of 39mm versions. However , the ceramic 39 and gmt both have shocking bezel inserts as you can’t read the numerals in most light. They need to inlay the bezels . That’s really lazy. And... instead of bringing out an Ovm and red sub in 39 mm they brought out stupid looking pink blue and white versions. This ovm is really nice and I would like one however and it’s a huge however Gnomon never never have any in stock what’s the point.
You need eyes every where to grab them before they are gone
which is better with orient ray 2?
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.
There's no such thing as minus or plus secs per day - if it is then your watch is screwed. You can get a loss over a year eg: Armani Quartz watches lose just 2 secs a year. I own several watches eg: Armani, Hugo Boss, Guess, a Lorus and Seconda - this will make your jaw drop open - my Lorus £50 from HSamuel, (a Company I worked for) matches the accuracy of my £230 Armani quartz. Infact the 10 watches I had in a lifetime never lost any time, and these are all low-end, non-luxury brands, so it proves you can get great quality at reasonable prices, if you know what you're doing - most don't have a clue, including practically every youtuber I've watched so far.
Btw I worked for 2 Jewellery stores as a Manager.
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.
I love China. Jajajajajajajajajajaja
I had similar citizen, crap quality watch, second hand has big play, very soft glass which easily scratches by everything.... after couple of months screws stripped in crown tube
dont recommend to buy modern new citizen watches
TaoBao lLanza Thanks for the ⚠️
