Steinhart Ocean One 39 Ceramic Review ( + Straps )

Review of one of the best bang per buck divers in the sub 500 dollar category. This Steinhart Ocean One 39 Ceramic has awesome specs for the money. ETA/Sellita movement, AR coated sapphire, 300m water resistant, great solid link bracelet with screwed links and milled clasp. The size is smaller than the "role-model" Rolex Submariner which makes it great for smaller wrists like mine! The 47mm lug to lug makes it a great fit for a sub 7 inch wrist. Simple and monochrome dial makes it a strap monster and it's hard to find a strap that won't look good on this watch! In the end I show you the Steinhart on a variety of straps. I'll link some affiliate links to similar straps here.

I recently paired up with some strap brands, so check these links out for strap alternatives!

i bought the ceramic bezel ocean1 gmt prior to a 3-month back-packing holiday in the far east. i wanted a tough gmt watch with excellent water resistance and this ticked all the boxes. whilst travelling, i wore it on a nato strap but once home i fitted a black stingray strap, which really suits the watch

I own both Rolex and Steinhart watches. I have to say that I like the 39mm Steinhart case better when it comes to design and feel on my wrist.

Had this model for 3 years never had a problem excellent quality

Good to see you here again!
Since a few months I have the 39mm ocean one blue ceramic. The finish is excellent and Steinhart is very high quality.
I consider to get even the black model in this video, or the green/black version.

Great review. I wish Steinhart would make a version of these watches without the date.

I have Steinharts and the quality is epically good. Third one is coming and the new 904 steel proved they can do it all for under a 1000 euro

I just bought an almost 2 year old one off a work colleague, I love it. My 15 watch collection includes Seiko, Orient, 2 Casio Marlins, 3 Invictas (1953, Pro Diver and a Swiss made green dial quartz with a white pointer dial motif and sapphire crystal with cyclops) and 2 G Shocks. And my 2 favourite quartz divers; the Citizen BN150 and 190 models. This watch kicks them all out of the park! 3 days in it is way more accurate than any of the automatics listed above. I will never part with this watch. I don't want a Rolex. This watch is all I will ever need. I could go on for hours but there is beer to drink while I admire this watch. If you can get one, jump on it!

I have been using this model since 2017. cant be more happy with it!

Nice review. Yesterday, I bought one of these, used. My only complaint is the lume is very weak. I love the overall look and I am very satisfied with the quality of the finishing and the movement. The seller provided me with a nice, no-name rubber strap with a decent deployant clasp. I will likely soon be switching to the rubber.

Everything in the voice, intonation, word selection and the way of speech made me think this got to be finnish guy speaking english. Sure enough, finnish dude. Nice video and that watch really is a good watch, only gripe is that it looks like rolex, but its just my opinion. greetings from finland.

I’ve had 3 Steinharts. I’m not understanding the lume complaint. The BGW9 lume is always not going to as bright as green lume. Different wavelength performance. Also, the overall initial brightness of lume is not the best indication of how legible it will be for 6-8-10 hours into the night. I rather have a dim lume that will last all night, than a bright lume that will completely fade away in an hour

[imrekovacs]

I bought one two months ago, surprisingly great value

[stephans.]

Very cool, also with the alternative straps. Great review

Looks like the lumed triangle on your bezel shows the same behavior as the one on my 39mm Ocean Green. Meaning it's turned slightly yellow. I bought mine brand new about two years ago and I'm very sure it wasn't that color when I bought it. From what I hear, Steinhart will replace these "patina-ed" inserts, but I haven't contacted them yet.

[calvinchann]

My only complaint with Steinhart is with the case. They could be closer to a oyster style case and be more curved in the lugs.

[andreww]

Just bought the 42mm Hulk today and very satisfied with my purchase :) This review helped me decide thanks

Where is a good online shopcin the USA for Steinhart ? Please drop below

[leonardogiannelli]

I have this same watch model and I really like it. It's a solid Diver but at the same time sort of discreet since it's not super big or bulky. The lume could be better and a slim buckle with some kind of diver's extension would be a great improvement, but again it's already very good like that!

I have 5 steinharts n couldnt be happier with the
