Whilst the Submariner design is hardly groundbreaking today, it is one that is tried and tested - an icon among dive watches that is still going strong almost 60 years after it was first introduced by Rolex in 1953.
Steinhart seem to understand this better than anyone; they have produced a number lovely Sub derivatives, but this one has to be my favorite!
The old radium-style vintage lume works so well with the black DLC case. There are some other lovely details such as the caseback engraving and the beautifully brushed clasp. A great look!
Specifications include: a 42mm x 13mm Stainless steel case with a black DLC finish, a Stainless steel black DLC screwed engraved caseback, a signed screw down crown, a black DLC coated divers bezel, a domed Sapphire crystal with double anti-reflection coating on its inside and a water-resistance of 200 meters / 660 feet / 20 ATM.
The black dial has vintage-style SuperLuminova applied markers and handset. It is powered by the ubiquitous ETA 2824-2 Swiss made automatic movement. It comes on a Stainless steel 22mm black DLC, screwed bracelet with a brushed Stainless steel divers safety clasp.
The watch is very reasonably priced at 370euro inc. VAT, 311euro ex. VAT. It is available for pre-order now with delivery in December.
I bought a steinhart ocean 1 vintage military version 1 Rolex homage with black dial and I just discovered in the pictures of the watch on the case back the water resistance says 200 meters 660 ft is this a red flag because everything I read about it says it's 300 meters 1000 feet
